Does anyone else see a rampant lack of balance?

2 9s
2 RW
2 10s
1 8
1 LB
2 CBs
1 GK

Most attackers itl will be licking their lips looking at this team. Will get ran into the ground on counters, team has very little mettle or off the ball resilience.

No, I do not see a lack of balance.

Who do you have as the second 10? Last season, Szobo was the 10 while Mac Allister the 8.

Gravenberch, depending on who you ask, was either the best or second best DM in the league last season, yet you do not have a DM listed.

I understand why you put two RW with Frimpong, however, I refuse to believe he will be worse than TAA in defense. If you watched LFC, you would know just how poor the effort level was at times under TAA. Frimpong, at Bayer, gives everything.

Additionally, from what I have been reading, many are of the belief that slot will play a diamond (Wirtz at the base and Isak at the top) which allow both Kerkez and Frimpong to bomb forward and stay wide. Gravenberch then drops deeper becoming almost a third CB.

Lot of talk about Donnarumma leaving and PSG signing Chevalier from Lille, which is surprising Donnarumma was awesome in CL.

Not sure who are in charge of their recruitment, but Everton are having the best value for money summer window in the entire league

Reminds me of them sneakily signing Ndiaye last summer, one of the most underrated players in the PL.

Done well to extend Branthwaite as well.

Soft spot for Everton, think they fight for top half of the table again.

Gibbs-White signed a new contract at Forest. Whole situation is honestly bizarre, but whatever. Hope Spurs move on to other midfield targets and don't settle with just Kudus and Takai, plus the permanent signings of Tel and Danso this summer.

Despite how utterly crap we are, I still feel weirdly relaxed. The Europa League win and parade catharsis has lifted so much anxiety over Spurs in my life. If we don't sign anyone else, it will be slightly disappointing, but I won't be that bothered about it.
