How far can we expect "depth" to go before you get to backups and youth? Being without (players of the quality of) Son and Dele at the same time would hurt any team, but we can still field Lamela, Eriksen and Lucas behind Kane or Lucas and Lamela either side of Kane with Eriksen in a CM3/floating or Lucas alongside H with Eriksen or Lamela at no.10 and a strong midfield behind. Being able to more than adequately cover two absentees in a single position is surely an indication of depth rather than showcasing an "embarrassing" lack of it?It's utterly ridiculous. We've had the whole summer and yet again we are in a position where our strength in depth is embarrassing. Amazed Poch stands for it.
I also know from elsewhere on the forum that you (and I as it happens) remain positive about the prospect of us signing Lo Celso, so, even better!
