Under Pochettino, we started very brightly, pressing and harrassing teams into making mistakes, and playing some brilliant stuff. There was also a number of 'tired' looking performances under him
So how big will our squad need to be next season. Can our team play week in week out all season with the system that Pochettino wants to play? For me this system requires 2 players per position who are more than capable, and then a couple of others who can do versitile jobs. Also I would say that 3 subs will be used in more or less every game next season as players look knackered by around the hour mark.
Hopefully they'll be looking to build up their stamina over the summer so they can play at their best for longer.
The games at the end of the season, we were starting to look evidently shattered and the players deserve a break now.
So looking at the current squad (missing out the ones I would expect to leave)
GK: Boruc/Gazza (Davis)
RB: Clyne, ?, (Chambers)
LB: Shaw, ?, (Targett)
CB: ?, Forren, Yoshi, Fonte
CM: Morgan, Cork, ?, JWP
RW/LW/AM: Gaston, Davis, Puncheon, Lallana, J-Rod, ? (Guly)
ST: ?, Lambert, (Mayuka)
So for me thats 5 necessity's, possibly 3/4 depending on how good Chambers and Targett are? Ones in brackets I would expect to be 'extras' filling in gaps when needed.
