Croydon i agree the squad is thin in parts, but the injury situation applies to nearly every club in world football. It is very hard to legislate for injuries and have real quality in every position sitting on the bench or in the stands every week.Croydon wrote: I think it's fair to look at our injury record when assessing the playing squad.
A majority Forum (not me) seem to have written Sanchez off, so if Declan Rice get's injured, who will be happy to see him in the starting line up.
Add injuries to Haller and Hernandez and Yarmalenko, who are we going to be fielding as our first 11 and subsequently who will be on the subs bench.
As it stands, in my opinion, the squad is thin.
We definitely need a real top drawer central midfielder IMHO, but, what from i can gather the manager does not seem to want the type of player i think we need [as we are never linked with that type of player]
If injuries happen, then that is when your manager needs to step up and earn his considerable corn. SPurs have no like for like replacement for Kane, but when he first got injured Pochettino was able to re-jig things to keep them ticking them over. That is what separates the good managers from those who are only adept at spending money
