I'd still take this squad over most in the Premiership...
------------Gomes-------------
-Hutton--King--Woodgate--Bale-
------------Zokora-------------
-----Jenas---------Modric------
Bentley--------------Dos Santos
---------Pavlyuchenko----------
Subs:
Sanchez
Corluka
Dawson
Lennon
O'Hara
Huddlestone
Bent
Ok, so we may not be able to field that team too often. But how many other teams get to field their "first 11" every match?
Yes they're young but I don't feel there're any 'superstars' in there now that're gonna be subject to the sort of hooha we've had with Berbatov which can only be a good thing really. Yes, the midfiled does need some work but that'll happen in January.
We've just got to be patient and really stick with the plan this time (i.e. not get Ramos sacked if things don't go the way we want them to). The team will take time to gel but as it does and as the players mature we'll get where we want to be.
