All too often we're unable to put out our first choice XI and we simply don't have enough depth in the squad to make these games more comfortable when we can't choose our top XI.
Looks like we're getting a young winger in; Daniel Arzani, 19 year old from Australia, been playing for Melbourne City and is to move to their connected club Manchester City but Man City approached us about taking him on a loan for at least one season, potentially two. Seen footage of him and he's good. Great with the ball at his feet but he appears to lack a final ball or end product which is why he's coming to us. Definitely a work in progress player which is the annoying bit. Hopefully I'm wrong and he can deliver like Patrick Roberts did for us.
Meanwhile we need a CB and probably another midfielder both of good quality.
I thought we looked better than them overall especially as they should have been much fitter and more up to speed with being halfway through their season. We started to tire in the second half but showed good energy for the last 10-15 mins after taking it easy from about the hour mark. Was surprised to only see the one sub but Rodgers obviously didn't feel the game was comfortable enough to take anyone else off and that shows that he's not really ready to trust any of our subs except Rogic in European games.
I thought Ntcham was excellent, Edouard is looking a bargain at £9m, McGregor ran his socks off again and works so hard for the team, Ajer was dominant and classy, Gamboa I actually thought had a pretty good game; the system suited him whereas last season it didn't I don't think, Hendry had a good second half after his mistake in the first for their goal; still has a long way to go but he's got something about him. However should we be relying on a player like Hendry, at his age, that we're hoping he's going to come good? It's not going to happen overnight for him and if we get to the groups there's no way we'll want to be relying on him to play.
