Never started a thread before, so hope I'm doing it right!
With our Summer signings, and (just as importantly) not losing any key personnel, we now have good squad depth in MOST areas. Some of us (me included) would liked to have seen another top CD and maybe an AM or forward. However, for the first time in years, we have some seriously decent options off the bench and I'm ore optimistic about our chances this season, than for many a year (after 40+ years a fan!).
There were numerous occasions last season when the likes of Salah was subbed and we completely lost our shape, attacking threat and conceded goals. We now have options like Lallana (hopefully getting back to full fitness) & Shaqiri who can better bridge the gap, as well as plenty of midfield options, in spite of Ox's absence.
All bodes well for being able to sustain a challenge this season and attain greater consistency.
Just wondering what you guys thoughts are on this?
