That's bang on 25 players.
So you might think "great we can only have a 25 man squad".
6 of the players are U21.
That leaves a 19 man registered squad.
Smallest squad in the league.
2nd youngest, to Aston Villa.
Defensively we've probably never had a better squad.
I think we could have done with a DM and a attacking option.
I think we've left ourselves short at keeper too.
As it stands I expect us to see the 3-5-2 used a fair bit this season,
especially if we need to rest Lucas.
We got a glimps of a Rafaesque feature with Cissokho and Enrique deployed on one side.
Another sign of having to do things differently because of the lack of funds available.
Once again you can highlight the U21's filling the squad to see where we are light in the squad.
We are dependant on our front line staying fit.
Slightly worrying that Sturridge always seems to be carrying some sort of injury.
He's quickly becoming the main man in Suarez's absence.
Interesting times ahead.
If we do well with this squad then I think Brendan needs some massive credit.
As things stand I'd expect us to line up like this.
