L6HolteEnder Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I don't think we are as a SQUAD as a team (starting eleven) Yes, but as a squad no. And unfortunately the is no magic water that will get the squad 100% fit for every game all season. I still want MON in but MON you need to get a much better squad and rotate, even though it is frowned against by the FA.(Naughty Mick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I don't think so. I think we need to further improve the squad depth in the summer. It hurts me to say it, but look at Spurs. They can deal with injuries, rotate and loan Robbie Keane to Celtic and still maintain their form, because their squad is strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carew_villa Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 squads dont actually mean anything. yes, man city and spurs do have the strongest squads, but I am confident that we could beat any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-67 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I don't need to vote for this as I just have to look at the league table, it doesn't lie. We have a competitive squad but it needs extra quality. Hopefully this summer will bring that quality in. We are still very much a work in progress.

The_Rev Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 We have a decent first XI, but that's about it. We have looked totally flat when Gabby has been out, we are unable to cope with injury, suspension or loss of form. We certainly cant bring players on who can change a game after an hour, and now other clubs are beginning to target our apparent inability to play for 90 minutes it becomes a bigger problem still. Beating last season's points tally of 62 is really all we have left to play for in the league now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 No we are not. I'd debate whether our first 11 is either. It's just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Not good enough for top four just yet. Need better balance in the midfield (a ball winner) and a striker to replace the donkey that is Emile Heskey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating last season's points tally of 62 is really all we have left to play for in the league now. I saw John Terry pick up on that yesterday in an interview on MOTD. Said they had watched a few of our recent games and noticed we tire after 55-60 minutes and that they knew the goals would come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Die_Hard Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Starting 11, on our day, when fully fit....yes The squad as a whole just ain't up to it though. Fair amount of dead wood needs clearing out and O'Neill needs to realise now that he MUST buy some big name, big money players and start rotating more. We will not progress much further otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
