our loans offer squad strength
but, for me, aren't head and shoulders above the players we own. Which, in my opinion, they'd need to be to be nailed on starters.
Thought Gilmour did well last night, but all the commentary about whether he needs to be played further forward or back suggests to me that he's not threatening enough yet to play in the 10 esque role and not robust enough in the challenge to play further back. Has potential though and his set piece delivery looked decent. Dowell looks lighter weight but more creative/more likely to score if given the chance.
Williams looks more defensively sound than Dimi, but less of an attacking threat, has worked well with Rashica, but would probably play tzolis before dimi in a wingerish role. Probably horses for courses depending on who we're playing.
Kabak again looks okay, not sure he's better than Gibson or Andy O.
They'd all be crucial in the event of injuries, though none are the finished article (but then neither are Dowell, Andy O or Dimi...) - happy that they seem to be integrating, but not sure that any of them justify an instant pick.
