A Good Problem To Have

Heading into the 10 game home stretch at LSP Sporting Kc find themselves in an interesting situation. There situation is a good one though because for the first time this season they can say they have depth. Not just a couple players in certain positions kind of depth - but real depth. And the depth that they have is actually good. Take a look at DM for example. In the formation that SKC plays they have been using 2 DM's. Normally Cesar and Espinoza. Two players that at the beginning of the season wouldn't even be considered DM's. Now, by themselves they wouldn't be much good, but together they compliment each other. Espinoza is the hit man in the partnership and Cesar is the true DM and can possess the ball very well.


If either of them aren't available on gameday Vermes must look no further than Sassano and Diop (The "Second Tier" DM's.). And if for some reason they can't play you still have the injured Rocastle and Arnaud who are recuperating from their respective injuries. When they're both fit it will be very interesting to see what the starting lineup at DM will be.


So all-in-all you can see Sporting Kc has depth at DM. 6 players in all that can play their. But let's look at some other positions on Sporting Kc's roster. Take a look at the defense.


At Center Back Sporting Kc have about 5 players that can play there: Cesar, Collin, Besler, Cyrus, and Thomas. This is where Sporting Kc have some of the best depth in the team. Although it seems Thomas may soon be on his way out.


At Wingback SKC have about 7/8 players that CAN play there, (Granted there are two wingback positions...) : Aiyegbusi, Ellis, Espinoza, Harrington, Lorenz, Myers, Sinovic, and Sassano. At the beginning of the season it seemed as if this position had the greatest depth. But to me it seems as if the depth in midfield is getting larger.


At Striker Sporting Kc have about 6 players that could play there: Bravo, Bunbury, Diop, Kamara, Saad, Sapong. However players like Bravo, Kamara, and Diop help out at other positions on the pitch for SKC.


At Attacking Mid Sporting have 6 players that play there: Jeferson, Arnaud, Bravo, Stojcev, Warzycha, and Zusi. Although Warzycha has been injured all season and I doubt he will be back for 2012.


At the RW and LW positions KC have 6 players that can play there: Aiyegbusi, Bravo, Ellis, Kamara, Myers, and Stojcev. The best players at this position are Kamara and Bravo.


And at Goalkeeper Sporting Kc have 3 players: Nielsen, Kronberg, and Kempin. Nielsen is the best out of those three but Kronberg is probably one of the best backup keepers in the entire league.


As you can see Sporting Kansas City have A LOT of talent in a lot of different positions. Which promotes good competition, and every player is different from the last and I feel like Vermes has made some very good moves to promote and grow this depth.


What do you guys think? Is there any one position we need more/less depth? Tell me in the comment section below.
