I think they have the best attack in the league, but agree the depth is not as good. When I said squad I talked mainly about the first 11. I think players like Romero and Davies for example are really good players. Dier they could replace though.I really don't think they have a good squad. They are so heavily reliant on kane and son. Wonder what their % output was last year in goals and assists. If kane and son stay fit for the entire season then they'll probably get 3rd or 4th with others contributing.
In summary Spurs always flatten to deceive. Its in thier DNA. When it matters they don't deliver despite historically having better teams than they have now. Thier defence is OK but not title winning especially with Dier at the back. Midfield solid enough but not creative enough. Wheres the goals in that midfield.
I rekon they'll start the season well. But when ucl kicks in let's see.
It looks though that City might sell some big attacking names and put more faith in Haaland. If he do not perform as well as Kane then Spurs got a chance.
The difference is the attacking midfield City got that is the best in the world with KDB. The front 3 for City aren't that good I think at least Spurs is better. Pep always rotates them, but it is since he has no clear star before they got Haaland.
Sterling and Mahrez Pep do not fully trust. They are good, but not Son good.
Yes UCL might be a factor if Kane can't cope with all the games. I think he can though, but we will see.
I think Haaland might struggle more in terms of fitness, but he got no world cup so can recover then. KDB has had injuries so this season could be hard for him, but likely Pep will rotate him in CL and still qualify from the group.
