Just ignore the Carabao cup and top4 clubs with any squad depth will be fine. Probably ignore the first few rounds of FA cups too, play the kids and what happens happens. It's really not that bad, they just had few months rest.
You only need look at the teams performances to see the problem. They haven’t managed a high energy game since the start of July against Villa. Even allowing for the heat, they looked totally knackered against Copenhagen. At best those tired legs will get two weeks rest then straight into preseason for one of the most hectic seasons in years. Hard to believe they’ll be as well prepared as our opponents, most of whom have been on holiday for nearly three weeks already.Our depths fine it's comparable to everyone else bar City and the players would have been playing in the euros this summer anyway. Massive overreaction to say we're doomed.
It's really only right wing we need another player but if we don't get Sancho it'll be someone else.
No they don't. There's a significant gap.Great chance for clubs outside of the top 4 to capitalise on the packed schedule of the PL clubs that will be in European competitions.
It's also hard to see beyond City for the title with that schedule as they have (with their summer transfers) a second xi that is as close to their first xi than anyone else in the league.
Which team in the league has better? (That can genuinely challenge for something - It doesn't work if they're both crap but even then there would probably be a gap).No they don't. There's a significant gap.
Oh sorry, I misread that as their second xi quality is close to their first xi quality. I agree they have the best depth of any team.Which team in the league has better?

They've also scrapped replays in the FA Cup and the League Cup will only be 1 leg.
We should aim to win them with a strong team!early outs of carabao and FA Cup is a must
True.This winter will see an increase in the virus anyway so this all means shit all.
And those magic doctors....Great chance for clubs outside of the top 4 to capitalise on the packed schedule of the PL clubs that will be in European competitions.
It's also hard to see beyond City for the title with that schedule as they have (with their summer transfers) a second xi that is as close to their first xi than anyone else in the league.
Unless you think we have a huge chance of winning the PL/CL by forfeiting such competitions...early outs of carabao and FA Cup is a must
Fully agree. September, October AND November? Wtf?Why so many International games this season? There are no qualifiers. They should suspend International games this season.
