Squad Depth

CL is not our priority this season

Get off at an early stage 'this week' and conserve energy for the league (Priority1) then FA cup

If top 4 is secured - Next year we will focus on the CL

thought we were in big trouble with the injuries in the first half but gotta say McT and Pereira were quite excellent in Midfield as was the defence, especially Luke Shaw and Smalling and Linderlof looking a good partnership with Ole at the wheel. Dealt with most of what little the Dippers offered in the final third.

Was concerned about letting Rashy continue playing injured. Hope it hasn't made his issue worse. We are going to need him over the next few games with all the injuries. Lukaku showed us again how we need something much better as an option up front.

This is as good a time as any to try put our youngsters. We need pace for this formation to work, and if Sanchez is not providing it, why not try out Chong or Gomes or anyone to be honest. There is no need for loyalty to these players now. They must know they are not cutting it.

Sanchez could still come good... he just looks void of any confidence... wasn't too long ago people were saying the same about pogba

I'm more concerned for this coming wednesday playing away against Palace

With our injuries mounting plus they are in great form - beaten LCFC 4-1 yesterday

We don't lack squad depth... we lack players to play in this system

Same thing, isn’t it? Your squad depth is determined by the strength of your squad relative to the number of players who can play your preferred system with marginal impact on the quality of performance.

We could have 6 Xavi’s on the bench, but if we played like Stoke under Pulis we’d have no depth.

Sanchez is a busted flush. His legs are gone.

The pace is not coming back and this formation lives on pace.
