I’m not sure many teams could put out an almost complete second string against a near full strength Fulham team and get a result.Respectfully the cup exit showed our squad depth isn’t good enough still.
im not saying we have good enough strength in depth but I think that result has made people exaggerate how lacking we might be.
Any one of those players who played v fulham could probdbly slip into our first team and although not be at the same level, they wouldnt horrendously prejudicial. (Sanchez proving that re Brentford for example, PEH when coming off the bench).
building a full squad is far harder than building a first xi and I think people have got carried away with how much is achievable in one window.
And all of this of course, is discussion without any understanding of what Ange is saying he wants/needs.
