The thing is, realistically we have no competition anywhere in our first 11 anymore. This is where we will go wrong, who have anyone got to challenge each other?
Howard- Robles dropped for him
Baines- First choice (fair enough)
Jags (captain and only have mori to replace with)
Stones (again only mori to replace with)
Coleman (we have 0 right backs now to replace)
Barry - besic only
McCarthy - only really cleverley and barkley who both play when fit
Barkley - was meant to be signing another player like him, apparently not.
Mirallas/del/Mcgeady/piennar- Well speaks volumes who gets picked over who there
Lukaku- has kone, only kone as back up.
Point is, one or two players to challenge in key areas would have seen a increase in hard work on the pitch. Our players can casually swan around the pitch knowing chances are there is noone to drop them for. No wonder we struggle.
