Unfortunately the bastards have got perhaps the best back 5 in world football. Allison and VVD are worth about 15 pts and their fullbacks got 25 assists last season which is truly insane.
If we get Lo Celso and keep Eriksen, I'd say we at least match them in midfield, and will surpass them if Ndombele proves to be a hit.
Up front I'd say their first choice 3 is more consistently lethal than ours, but we have far better strength in depth.
Overall their first 11 is better than ours but I think an injury crisis would hit them harder. Their fullbacks are miles ahead of ours and that's the obvious area we need to strengthen to catch them up.
Agree with most of that, but if we do get Lo Celso and keep Eriksen, then I think our midfield is far superior to theirs, I don't think one of theirs gets into ours. Midfield is definitely their weakest area.
Having said that Danny Murphy said they were miles better than us on Talkshite this morning and we had no chance of catching them so we may as well not bother.
