will anyone else admit our squad is far to thin....
its almost suicidal how much lvg has stripped our squad down.
the only injuries players we have are rojo, shaw and herrara! our bench yesterday was fellani romero jones wilson valencia schneiderlin mcnair we literally have no proper attacking options from the bench. if the first 11 don't work....you can even say we have impact subs who will make the difference. with the money spent i don't think its good enough to be honest. hernandes, nani and as much as i hate him adman should have been kept on. |

the main reason for the lack of attacking options on the bench was the attacking options on the field instead of a midfield. we have attacking options. playing rooney in an attacking midfield role shouldn't be one of them.
having more players like nani or cheech wouldn't help. I like nani, but the problem was the balance of the team. the team we started with was a team you might switch to if 3-0 down and desperate. maybe. |

zero fullback cover is insane.
Young & Valencia have both cost us a goal in the last couple of games due to not knowing the role properly - understandable really (although tbf Rafael was more than capable of similar errors) The lack of attacking alternatives is a big worry too. The only 'change' we seem to have is Fellaini. Pretty grim. |

Of course it's too thin.
We could have survived with another full back and a squad striker but as it is we're short. Hernandez is the obvious one, unless he was desperate to leave we shouldn't have let him go. We should have replaced him. Perhaps the club think that long term Varela is going to be good enough to provide cover at full back. |

As for the squad. We've three injuries (two of which look out of favour with the manager) and we're a mess defensively. The lack of defensive cover is unreal. |

Valencia and Darmian RB Shaw, Rojo, Blind as LB McNair, Smalling, Jones, Blind, Rojo as centre halves Varela as a youth backup. We've just been very unlucky with injuries and in our last game, LVG picked the wrong side imo. |

It's dreadful. The defence is the new midfield, Chelsea showed last season a half decent defence wins you titles and we've continued to neglect that. |

Oh what a shame, i'm having a dig at United, least we've backup in McNair and Jones though. Meant to be one of the biggest clubs in Europe. |
