Mad how we’re a very good team but you could still suggest we’re half a dozen players short of a full squad ahead of next season.
Right back, left back, centre back, right footed attacker and a striker.
No RB cover, Moreno to leave, hopefully Matip punted off and Sturridge likely to leave too.
Not sure any of the incomings would be confident of walking in to the side, though.
Wouldn’t mind Bertrand at left back to cover a home grown spot if Milly, Lallana and Sturridge leave.
Werner seems a solid shout as a striker even though his finishing looks a bit suspect from the bits I’ve seen of him.
The rest? No idea.
Would take Wan-Bisaka. Pavard wouldn’t be a bad shout either seeing as he can play anywhere across the back and in midfield.
Lallana and Sturridge can both go, get Harry Wilson in there and look to bring in Werner.
I’d like Milly to stay but when he performs like he has done since his injury, it makes question if he has another season in him playing at this tempo on a regular basis. Be happy for him to stay and add cover to the team but if he wanted to head back to Leeds then I don’t think we should stand in his way.
CB worries me, Virgil and Gomez are a great pairing but you can really see just how far ahead they are individually when it’s Matip or Lovren in there. It would be good to get one of them gone and bring in someone who we know can slot in there and we don’t have to worry what player is going to turn up that day. Because one game they can be boss, but the next they can have a complete mare.
We have our key players for the spine of the team now, but we need to start looking at getting more quality in. City can leave a player like Mahrez out altogether because they have that many options of top class players in the starting team and on the bench. Our bench looks to begetting progressively weaker as the season is going on and in terms of the attack, it’s able to pick itself. Where as at the beginning of the season Sturridge was staking a claim to be playing and for some reason, the last few games Shaqiri’s level has really dropped compared to how he was performing up until the FA Cup game.
I think the 2 piss poor performances in the domestic cups has shown us how thin we still are outside of the main group of players.
