I think when you say squad, I think you have to qualify that a little bit because, first of all, there's the bad news that William Saliba has on his back and that he might not be available for the first game, at least, of the World Cup.
So that's which is a bit of a pity because he's probably our best, I was going to say, ball-playing centre-back.
Other than that, it's a team that's very heavily... I mean, when you look at it, it's completely unbalanced, by which I mean...
the attacking potential of it is absolutely frightening.
And the defense can be a bit frightening as well from time to time because it is not very well balanced.
And I would also say that our midfield is nowhere as strong as it has been in the past.
You know, when you have to rely perhaps on Golo Kante at the age of 35 to hold everything together.
Chouameni didn't have the greatest of seasons.

But still, you know, when you've got like some PapΓ© and...
And DembΓ©lΓ© and Barcola and DesirΓ© DouΓ©, who was absolutely brilliant, by the way, in their last Wormwood game.

And Ryan Cherky.
Oh, yeah.
It's a big problem because, well, it's not a big problem.
