Last night showed (if it wasn't blatantly obvious already) that the gulf between our First 11 and the back ups is massive, the fact Puncheon is a CM for us is embarrassing. It may also answer some questions as to why Roy refuses to make any subs in league games, the bench is simply not good enough bar Meyer.
Once Luka came on, the game changed in our favour and possession was kept, whilst also looking more promising going forward and with Meyer pushed further up the pitch we created more – he could possibly take McCarthur’s role as he’s a little more creative with Luke and Kouyate behind?
Our first 11 is good enough for the PL and will give anyone in this league a good game, it’s just a shame each year we fail to add any players who can really challenge and put pressure on the current first 11.
