We're a small squad and short on quality.
We aren't a small squad Brian, anything but really, we're massively over bloated on numbers but I agree about the quality. What quality we do have has been injured for most of the season and I'm not just talking about Studge.
Sakho and Lovren have dovetailed all season, one fit, one injured, one in, one out apart from 2 or 3 games they played together.
Hendo has been out since September.
Cou started the season off in fine form then got injured and although he's returned since that initial injury he's never regained that form before getting injured again.
Firmino struggled with injury early on but is improving his form.
Milner, an ever present early on has been suspended or injured.
Origi was just starting to get going before injuries hit him.
Gomez/Ings started brightly but were out for the season before Jürgen could even work with them.
There is some quality that if available could have seen us higher up the league but we have a tendency to forget what we have when we don't see them for such long periods.
