Is the squad depth good enough?

As we all know, the injuries are piling up and we’re beginning to understand a little what Everton felt like last season. The difference between Everton being hit by injuries and ourselves is that our squad is looked upon as having good squad depth, but do we?

After the likes of Bentley and Giovani dos Santos who are expected to be pushing for first team football put in a performance best to be forgotten in the 4-1 defeat by Arsenal midweek in the Carling Cup, it left many fans with question marks above their heads and looking past them to others who may be able to the job. And there lies the question, do we have anything better other than the likes of Lennon and van der Vaart and the like who are regular starters.

We then have the likes of Caulker, who has been highly rated, Livermore, Sandro and Naughton, players who are hoping to be part of a strong future Spurs yet didn’t deliver what some had hope for. For some you could give the benefit of the doubt, but the likes of Bentley and dos Santos, its extremely frustrating.

Modric, Bale, Lennon, van der Vaart, Dawson and Huddlestone are all players that we don’t like to see dropped yet who to we look to replace them to have the same strength and impact on the team?

So to stick with what we’ve got and hope for improvements or strengthen in January?
