Best 11 I think we're up there with almost anyone. Problem is obvious tho, how often do you EVER see your best 11? Squad depth is a massive part of the game because of so. We have 17 players we've spent 20m or more on and we still have almost literally no squad depth.They've played the long game to an extent though. Guys like El Ghazi, McGinn, Mings and especially Grealish were all people with room to grow and they have grown which means they are a better team now than they were in January 2020. Add in really smart signings like Martinez (arguably the best keeper in the league currently) and Watkins and you've got a really strong side.
They've no depth like we have no depth but they aren't hurt. Best XI we are every bit as good I think but injuries matter.
