We're still a bit off in fairness. At the moment we are showing title contenders form, but you feel an injury to Bruno and we're struggling again. Same has to be said for one of Rashford or Martial.
We need 4 players, spread over a couple of transfer windows probably. Sancho obviously, a pacey, combative CB, a Matic replacement and another creator who can play 10/across the front line.
I mentioned 4 in another post, but I think Sancho, Koulibaly, Ruben Neves and Grealish and we would win the league with that team. Add those 4 to the our current starting 11 and that 15 core, top players, which is what you need to compete in 3/4 competitions and potentially hit 55/60 games in a season.
We're close, but let's cement our position as a top 4/3 team to begin with. The encouraging thing about this run however, is how we're now dispatching smaller teams with ease, and if we had done that consistently this season we'd probably be second, or well clear of Chelsea and Leicester at least.
Promising times indeed.
