Here are the problems we are having... Despite the fact that Wenger clearly made an effort
to bring more
quality (
add)
to the
squad (even though they are post for post replacements... Except Sanchez and Campbell), we still have those parts of the team that are «really» weak.
Now I think there is still reasons
to be cheerful, I agree Man C & Chelski have spent & bought some good players, we all understand that 5 of those teams might be in the CL proper which is a huge distraction for those 4 - 5 teams.Chelsea will not be able
to field the same 13 - 14 players all season, as for Man C they were very frail at the back last season,
add to that 2 flying wing backs and I'm not sure they will be any better this coming season.LFC will most probably have CL as well if they qualify and haven't exactly bought great players apart from Salah who could be a good aquasistion for them.Spuds have sold a good player & strengthened a rival & still not bought a single player yet, Man U have bought 2 good players & in Lukaku have a proven goal scorer in the PL but if they play the same dour way they did last season & with the
added games the CL
brings will they perform week in week out in the league??? As for Everton yes they have released a lot of players and also
brought in a lot too
to give better
quality in the
squad as they have Europa league the same as US the big difference is I think we will play
squad players & youngsters maybe with a few senior players all the way up
to the QF This tells me most of our rivals will pave the way for us
to field pretty much the same side every weekend in the PL thus giving us an advantage over all the other 5 teams playing in the CL & Europa, just remember the League has been won in the last 2 seasons by teams NOT in Europe YES we are this season but I think Wenger will put all his eggs in the League basket and field an under strength side in all comps hence focusing on the League until we are no longer in the race.
I keep changing my mind with regards
to signings as I think Poch is trying
to bring players through eg Onomah, Walker - Peters, Winks, CCV, Sterling, Edwards and not hinder their paths, but also
add quality depth
to the
squad.
He must
add quality to the
squad if they are
to avoid the drop but, signings aside, perhaps his biggest task will be
to bring belief back
to a group whose confidence is currently at rock bottom.
