Looks like we've
got no more new signings, and we're stuck with Traore (strange?),
Diao n Biscan. So we know the squad for the season now, wat do u
think of it...and wat are your expectations for the season?
Firstly, this is how I see the squad:-
Goalies : Dudek - needs 2b more zai...pls leave ur butter at home!
Kirkland - too fragile; gets injured far too often.
Defence: Generally ok except a little short of cover shd Hyypia be
missing. Strongly think Henchoz shd be ahead of Traore n Diao in
the pecking order. Left and Rite sides looks alright with
sufficient cover.
Midfield: Supposedly our strongest department esp. with the new
boys added. Whether Stevie and Alonso can play effectively together
(big IF) is crucial to our season. Gracia looks versatile and cld
be a surprise success. Hope Nunez can provide quality runs and
crosses fm the rite; while Kewell can rediscover himself
soon.
Forward: Looks abit thin with only Cisse and Baros who are still
getting used to each other. Pongolle is still learning his trade,
while Mellor has yet to prove himself.
While I wish we cld've strengthened the defence n attack lineup, I
think we've a reasonable enuff squad. Much will now depends on how
Beni's gonna motivate n get the best out of these players.
Hopefully as the season progress, the new players will find their
feet and gel with the team more effectively.
So for this season, my expectations will be checked - a 3rd-placing
will be nice ... n a Cup or 2 will really be bonus!
