Exactly what Pep said after their game, “we played good, we can play better but the guys know there is competition, Sterling must play good or Marhez will play and Marhez must play good to move Sterling out the team, it is the same in all positions which is why our performance levels haven’t dropped after winning the league”Yep. I don't buy that view and I cringe at the so called ec pros and pundits that string out that line.
Competition not cover. Its a squad game.
While we may not have Man.City riches luxuary, we do have competition in pretty much all positions but we can and still need to improve. Below is in my opinion our best 22:
Lloris
Gazzaniga
Aurier
Trippier
Toby
Jan
Sanchez
Foyth
Rose *improve/replace as always injured and heads gone etc
Davies
Dembele *improve/replace as can’t play enough games consistently due to injuries
Dier
Winks
Wanyama
Eriksen
Alli
Son
Lucas
Lamela
Sissoko
Kane
Llorente * improve as Kane needs some competition and he needs a class striker who can play with him or more importantly play instead of him when hes injured or need a rest, Llorente is a great pro but I feel that if we had a really decent back up striker they’d get many more minutes than Llorente as Kane is often in need of a rest.
