At this point - it's not alarming. We know the drop-off is there.The drop in quality when our subs came on was very alarming today.
But of the 5 or 6 players who simply aren't good enough, I thought Skipp did okay today.
Hopefully, we can get through January unscathed, and then we get players returning from injury, and international tournaments - and then our bench will look pretty strong.
The only real need for January is a CB - as we don't have the depth, even when we have a full squad.
But, when Bentancur and Maddison are back (along with Sarr and Bissouma) - CM is sorted for the rest of the season. Hojbjerg and Skipp will be lucky to get off the bench, and 1 might not even make the bench in some matches.
Same with forwards - Solomon, Son, Richi, Kulusevski and Johnson are plenty of depth.
If we can get a player in on January 1 - that makes sense, but adding depth on January 31 makes less sense.
