Looking at the squad now when everyone is fully fit we will have players missing out on a match day. Its great that we have a more solid looking bench even if we picked up an injury or two but with a fit squad I was wondering who would miss out. Would it depend on the opponants or cover for certain positions.
For example a starting X1 of
Patricio
Boly Coady Kilman
Semedo Neves Dendoncker Marcal
Podence Jimenez Neto
And bench of
Ruddy Traore Silva Moutinho Saiss Hoever Vitinha
That leaves out Ait Nouri, or does Hoever miss out and Ait Nouri in ? Or Vitinha miss out and both wing backs on the bench. A nice problem to have as I think last season Nuno was looking at his bench with little confidence but will he rotate them so they dont get disheartened at not being included on a match day or will it change depending on tactics. They are all young talented players and I think many of us are excited to see what they can bring and its great we have decent cover for any injuries. Also the possible emergence of Ottasowie and Shabani adds other options.
I guess there will always be debates as the squad is announced as to why a particular player hasn't made the bench, but we have to consider there are only so many spots available and someone will miss out if we have no injury issues. It keeps everyone on their toes aswell to keep their place.
