Alisson, TAA, Van Dijk, Gomez, Robbo, Fabinho, Thiago, Hendo, Salah, Mane, Firmino SUBS Kelleher, Konate, Tsimikas, Keita, Jones, Jota, Origi
De Gea, Wan Bissaka, Varane, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Sancho, Fernandes, Pogba, Cavani SUBS Henderson, Telles, Lindelof, Van De Beek, Rashford, Greenwood, Martial
Ederson, Cancelo, Dias, Stones, Zinchenko, Rodri, Fernandino, De Bruyne, Foden, Jesus, Sterling SUBS Steffen, Mendy, Laporte, Gundogan, Mahrez, Torres, Silva
Mendy, James, Azpilicueta, Silva, Rudiger, Chilwell, Kante, Jorginho, Pulisic, Werner, Havertz SUBS Kepa, Alonso, Christensen, Kovacic, Mount, Ziyech, Abraham
What doesn't sit well?
Obviously we expect to see Abu Dhabi add Kane and Grealish, Chelsea probably Lukaku. But since they haven't happened yet.....dyou genuinely think we're particularly far off, if at all? We've all got strengths and weaknesses but I'm really not seeing that we're standing out as having a weak bench compared to the others. And our first 11 looks stronger than any of them. And thats with quite a few strong players not on the bench (Matip, Ox, Milner, Shaq, Elliott etc)

I agree with you, the squad is very good (I’ve said this on many occasions)
-We need 2 more (forward and midfielder) and better luck with injuries
-It doesn’t need Man City or Chelsea spending to do that
Budget range
Midfielder such as Neuhaus £30M
Forward circa £25-40M
So about £65-70M and we will hopefully raise funds with Origi/Shaqiri/Phillips to the tune of £30M at least so a nett spend of £40m

That's why I said 'for example'. A 'Jota type' any better?
MD1990:
Much will depend on how Van Dijk,Gomez,Firmino & Mane perform this season I think.
On paper superb players but for different reasons they may not be at their peak anymore.
The other sides have younger players who will improve.
Its why we do need a couple of younger quality players ideally.

I think Mane will be back to his best, he just got burned out and had a dip in confidence, I don’t think Bobby’s decline is down to fitness or injuries, he may be playing deeper and lost some self belief, hopefully he gets back to his best
VVD/Gomez will probably need until the new year before we see the best of them

as would anyone in their right mind :P
I’m hoping Sadio having an extended break for the first time in a long time will have done him a world of good too, and with Jota fit, looking forward to seeing if they all hit their stride early in the season. Reckon Harvey will play a fair bit more than maybe we expected too, he’s been given every chance pre-season so far to show he’s ready.
