The squad had no depth last season and it just got a lot smaller so we are definitely weaker, even if the staring XI is stronger
The lack of options at CB and midfield scares the shit out of me, especially when Doucs and Gana piss off to the Afcon, which is why I can’t believe we are rumoured to be trying to offload Gomes this month
For me we look much stronger in attack and out wide but everywhere else we are considerably weaker, including the GK department. Virginia is a definite downgrade on Begovic
