Our squad…Tierney to be kept?

September 9, 2024

Raya – White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber – Rice, MERINO – Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli – Havertz

NETO – Tomy, Kiwior, CALAFIORI, Tierney – Partey, Jorginho, Zinchenko – STERLING, Jesus, Trossard

So here are two teams with additions to the squad overall and the inclusion of one new player in the starting XI (once he will be back from his shoulder injury), namely Merino. Neto, Calafiori and Sterling have given us more depth and options. The interesting bit is related to the fact that Tierney did not leave (although he could still) and I would be happy to keep him in the team overall. He is a good player, not a starter but he could help us so why not keep him? Overall, I would have been happy with the inclusion of a player like Mbeumo, Koopmeiners, Simons, Bowen or Ivan Martin/Mason Mount/Maddisson (not ideal but oh well)…

In any case, we have 7 points out of 9 possible but clearly, we were robbed in the last game…Man City already looks ominously good but we need to make sure we march on and beat them when we meet them…

So far, Liverpool has also looked strong so it seems that we will be in a very tight race for Top 3 this year…

Let us keep pushing hard and hope for the best!

COYG!
