We are going to have this debate at sometime so why not have it under one thread? I actually found writing this pretty scary, the strength of the starting XI is pretty scary but take a look at what we can potentially bring off the bench after an hour and look at the players that don’t even make the bench.
Is there anyone out there that thinks we would not be challenging Leicester and the Spuds at the top of the Premiership if we had had their good fortune with injuries?
Here is my considered view of our starting line up on Saturday although I would not be surprised to see Byram for Tomkins, Reid for Collins and AC for Sakho.
STARTING XI
Adrian
Tomkins
Ogbonna
Collins
Cresswell
Noble
Kouyate
Antonio
Lanzini
Payet
Sakho
SUBS
Randolph
Byram
Reid
Song
Moses
Carroll
Valencia
OTHERS
Oxford
Emenike
Obiang
O’Brien
That is an embarrassment of riches there and to think we are going to add 4 or 5 players to that squad during the summer as well as Samuelsen and Cullen perhaps.
Feel free to beg to differ. For once I’m not sure anyone can be wrong.
