23 Man Squad

[5354 204]

I never said they could excel in any position, what im saying is that should we have big injury issues we have more than enough players wo can provide cover.

If thats the case then we should just use a team of youngsters if you only want covers just for the sake of fielding a 11 XI.

For me we have one too many strikers, and Scott Sinclair is never going to get into this team with Malouda and Zhirkov also in his position. Mancienne has a good chance though. If we get rid of Pizarro and/or Shevchenko, then Sturridge and Di Santo will get look-ins, but for me I think we should keep one experienced back-up for striker.

As such, we could do with getting rid of one forward, but that's all I'd change, except for maybe letting Sinclair go somewhere where he will play.

GK: Cech, Turnball, Hilario

RB: Bosingwa (Ivanovic, Mancienne)

CB: Terry, Mancienne, Alex, Ivanovic

LB: Ashley Cole, Hutchinson, (Zirkov)

Midfielders: Lampard, Ballack, Essien, Mikel, Mellis, Belleti and Deco...?

Wingers: Malouda, Zirkov, Joe Cole, Sinclair

Strikers: Drogba, Anelka, Sturridge, Di Santo.

I see this as a 24 man squad or 25 man squad if we keep Deco, with Sinclair, Mancienne, Mellis and Hutchinson included. Hopefully they get to play games in Cups and some minutes in premier league.

We are bound to sell, Kalou, Carvalho, Pizzaro, Sheva....

The Back looks Solid, Midfield is over crowded as with the Diamond midfield, not many wingers will get to play a role. With two Strikers upfront, Dturridge and Di Santo will get more chances...

I wouldn't have thought Mellis was anywhere near ready enough to be considered part of the squad. I'd say he needs a years loan with view to getting some chances next season. As for Hutchinson, in age he is at the time now where he should be getting chances, but obviously he had a big injury last year so that may have set him back.

He needs to train with the first team, may not necessarily get any starts but being in a squad will help him, with a Loan move next season at the age of 19.
