Our midfield is stacked. Fixed trio of Kamara-Luiz-McGinn. Tielemans become started now and Ramsey can also play if required but more likely as LM/LW. Dendoncker still around and he played in some really good wins last season but I think we'll loan him out in January ahead of summer transfer, Everton interested and he'd suit them with his profile.
Even with Mings out for the season we also have four international standard CBs, Konsa, Pau, Diego Carlos and Lenglet who is just playing in europa. Two excellent LBs in Digne (this season) and Moreno. Think we'll target a new RB in January with Cash dropping to the bench for last few matches, don't think Emery was impressed by his first half performance v Spurs when he could easily have been sent off.
Upfront it's basically the bionic man Ollie remaining fit. Such a ridiculous fitness record. He's missed about four games for us in the premier league since joining in August 2020! That's where we'd struggle if he was out for a month or two, guess we'd try Diaby or Bailey as the CF but that would be very unproven.
World away from the Martin O'Neill days when we have a solid first 11 and the backups were overpaid but not very good and so we faltered from March onwards for overplaying the regulars. Emery has far too much nous for that and in any case our general tempo in games is more relaxed than what Newcastle and Spurs do so that should suit us when we hit the run in.
