Interestingly we’ve got a set of players who battle harder against better opposition, there are plenty of holes in the team when it comes to breaking down poorer teams and for that we need options.
The game yesterday doesn’t present too much information about the squad as we all knew the weaknesses but it’s clear Marco needs more time and additional quality coming in before we get to go on a run beyond what we achieved recently.
I’m not disheartened if we don’t finish in 7th as a club we are right now we aren’t cut out for the challenge extra games would bring, People will disagree with me, but I would like to see a cluster of players come in the summer and our primary focus to blend them in - I would hope we have options to mix it up and for the competition within to create better results but with European games would be too much of a problem when we’d be mixing up the starting line-ups too much and not creating the cohesion we so badly need.
I’m hoping we add Zouma, a utility player who can cover a few positions - 2 central midfielders (I would take Gomes) another attacking utility player and a striker.
Perhaps Onyekuru and Vlasic come in and add competition to allow us to offload Walcott.
6 players to support the team and launching a few players out who seldom offer anything.
iI it means taking loans so be it. But, we need to let Davies go out and prove himself as I don’t see him progressing with such limited game time.
There’s a small core of players we rely on presently, we need to boost the numbers in respect of having players able to contribute to cover poor form, different roles to combat different tactics. The team is on the whole lacking quality.
