Yes, but there is the academy...
We have essentially the same starting XI that won everything before they hit their prime, and the core of that squad is only now hitting their prime.
No injuries all season long and we're contenders. Bit of a gamble not bringing in backups (as seen last year)... But in a year of few injuries, we could get away with it.
Depends how lucky we are with injuries, I don't feel we need more just to rotate. The occasional kid from the academy can do that.
We dont need any.
The only issue we have is koala tea of back up.
Kelleher is already through.
Williams is not good
Gomez
Konate
Tsimikas
Milner
Ox
Kieta
Elliott (never was in academy)
Firmino
Minamino
Origi
Jones.
Right now a kid from the academy has to push one of those aside to get a game. No forward in that academy is currently even close to it.
Midfield already has seen clarkson sent on loan.
