We have strengthened in defence and Sterling is an upgrade on Nelson so the attack has been strengthened. Still wish we signed a striker though.

First XI vs Back-ups

-----------Raya-----------
White--Saliba--Gabriel--Calafiori*
------------Partey*------------------
----Odegaard-----Rice----------
Saka------Havertz-----Martinelli*

vs

Trossard----Jesus-----Sterling*
-------Merino*----Nwaneri------
-------------Jorginho---------------
Zinchenko--Kiwior--Timber*--Tomiyasu
-----------------Neto--------------------------

Poor window.

Tomiyasu, Zinny, Jesus and Partey will miss large chunks of the season due to injury

All 4 probably don't get into our best XI once Merino is fully fit, so not sure the issue. Every team has injuries, it is part of football. We have a lot of players in the Partey, Tomi and Zinny positions and up front Havertz will be first choice and Trossard and Sterling have played a lot there too.

Weve definantly improved the quality of players in the squad. But we are heavily reliant on Havertz to stay fit pretty much all season and play upfront
