Is our squad really that good ?

mercredi 20 avril 2022

I read on here that we should be doing so much better with the squad we have .Also on FYP podcast i regularly hear it mentioned that outside top 6 there are not many better squads than ours . Is this really the case ?
I agree that 4 of our additions have been excellent , Guehi and Andersen in particular . The energy and goals from Gallagher has been so important ( however i do feel he is being a little over hyped by the media - although i would love to sign him permanently ) . Olise has huge potential and has quality . However he is still very inexperienced and against some teams can be bullied out of the game .
We lost a lot of experience in the Summer ( had to be done ) . However those players could grind out wins . I also think that playing behind close doors last season helped us . Generally the games were surreal and lacked intensity - which helped our ageing squad .
Looking at our squad , i am not convinced many other Premier League teams would come in for them if they were available . Out of the 22 outfield players , would there be a stampede for the following

Ward , Clyne, Kelly , Tomkins , Ferguson , Milivojevic , Hughes , McArthur , Riedawald , Schlupp , Benteke , Mateta , Edouard , Ayew .

I feel that lack of genuine pace and also real quality in midfield / attack is still an issue . Also young players will lack the know how that only experience will give them .
At the start of the season , i was wary and staying up was the aim .
However we look better on the eye and generally look more composed . There is though , a big Summer coming up for us and i just hope we have finances to bring quality in .
