Onana, Godfrey, Danjuma, Dobbin, Maupay (wasnt even ours last season anyway)

Of those 5 only Onana starts

(Gomes and Holgate too, but lets be real)

Obrien
Ndiaye
Iroegbunam
Lindstrom
Mangala

(not counting Broja as he might never be fit)


granted players have aged, but is Young worse this season to last ? He's been about the same
Gueye, has looked about the same too, capable of looking really good, or dodgy


Doucoure continues to drop off a cliff granted


You cant really think last years squad is stronger than this years
Even accounting for some age drop off

I'm not suggesting its a million times better, but it is better.
Onana was the only regular, where as I can see Ndiaye, Mangala being starters and potentially Iroegbunam and Lindstrom too - if we play a decent system.
