Injuries have hurt us a great deal and with that the lack of rotation at times has also brought us burn out and suspensions. Psychologically it also feels like something is missing.
Every time we've made too many changes, it's cost us games.
Lenglet and Carlos are not able to fill at the level needed, even if both have had some good games.
Konsa at right back works some but not all of the time, he's not done badly but you can tell it's not his natural position.
Dendonker (before the loan) and Tim haven't been able to fill in for Kamara or Doug, I don't think even if we had the former still with us it would have made much difference. Tim is too raw and needs more experience. Tielmans is being asked to drop deep and so is McGinn and neither really suit central positions
We have always had enough players in attack to rotate a bit, Diaby, Duran, Tielmans (when he plays further up), Rogers and even Zaniolo (occasionally) offer some opportunity to rotate.
But we have no real cover for Cash and KKH seems unlikely to get any game time. Obviously we have a young player who is joining in the summer to help provide cover for Ramsey etc.
But at this point we are truly limping towards fifth place.
