Is our squad as strong......

United? I disagree. They have a great team but a weak squad with many players who wouldn't get near our first XI in my opinion.

I hate to say it, but just had a look through the United squad and I was surprised at how many players they have that I'd consider regulars in their first team (approaching twenty), and before you ask that is leaving out the likes of rat face, anderson, evans, gibson etc.

Arsenal have probably 20 'regular' first teamers and Tottenham are not far off now.

It's not a coincidence that the big teams pull away as the season progresses.
 
After the Summer transfer i always thought we needed 1 more player in each position down the spine (i.e. 1 Striker, 1 CM, 1 central defender), plus perhaps a right-back.

With Zab blossoming, Micah improving, and Boateng still yet to really settle, i think we're ok at right-back now. We've got the striker.

So add a left-sided centre-back (who could cover left-back), and another quality passer of the ball in midfield, get rid of the dead wood and we'd be sorted.

It's a very strong squad, seeing how we've coped with injuries and a lot of fixtures whilst keeping the wins rolling over, Mancini has rotated well. But it's not perfect, take for example Yaya having to play the 3 league matches we had in a week around Christmas time, he's not the fittest and was absolutely running on empty in the 3rd match. I think we need someone like Fabregas, ease the creative burden on Silva, but who can play a bit deeper as well.

I still don't really trust Lescott, sometimes he can be immense, win everything, but at other times he's cumbersome and clumsy. I think if Kompany gets an injury the defence is very vulnerable.

Also next season will be the ACON so the Toure bros will be away.
 
harsh on Milner, would probably finish 2nd or 3rd in my Player of the Month vote if it ended today behind Carlos.

He played well in the 1st half at the Walkers! Other than that I have seen little improvement in his game! I was happy with his signing and want him to do well but starting to believe that he is out of his depth!
