I know where you are coming from and the rationale behind it. I agree that without VVD they struggle.But they dont over power teams like City and even theyve struggled over the last 18 months when Kompany left. You cant get away with a soft centre in England anymore.
Theyre a well balanced side but they arent so top heavy that they go out outscore sides, its all very controlled and their defence plays a massive part in that.
Look at their form so far this year with a dodgy defence.
And, like VVD, this injury means they cant rotate and these games do not stop coming. Matip is more injury prone than any of them!
However, looking at the competition, I cannot see anyone good enough to challenge them. Looking at it, I think if we got off to a better start, even we could have been in the mix but again we lack the consistency and the killer instinct.
