14/15 Squad

[Howay 12496]

We have a tiny squad with about 3 above average players (Krul, Sissoko and Tiote, I don't think we've seen enough of the new lads to say any of them are above average yet), the rest are fairly average, below average or playing in a league that's too good for them. Meanwhile Spurs have better individual players in every position of the field then we do, as well as having back ups that are Premiership level, we're simply not their level. Everton are closer but I think their best players are a fair bit better than ours and their back ups are a million miles better than ours. Not to mention both have far far superior managers. Our squad is wafer thin and lacks quality in a number of departments, we're closer to needing 8-10 players to match them than 3 imo.

That's kind of my point. The squad fillers like Williamson are performing at their level. Every team needs low earners who know their place.

 

Its the higher earners that aren't up to scratch.

But we only need two players to catch up with Spurs and Everton?
