Without Henry and Fabregas, Arsenal would be average at best
Tottenham without Dawson, King and Robbo and possibly Lennon would struggle.
Man U and Chelsea are the only teams where you could take 3-4 players out of there team and they wouldn't struggle too much. |

interesting......
arsenal without henry/cesc=we still have toure lauren sol cole reyes hleb and the rest, more than enough.
man untied no g nev,rio,rooney,vidic,saha they'll struggle.
chelsea no terry,no lampard they'll be mid-table.
basically you can't say teams will struggle if this player isn't there or that player is there, bottomline is take out the star players from each team and they will struggle. In fact the difference in football between teams is only that the 'good' team will have one or two quality players capable of match-winning moments.
look at barca without ronaldinho, they wont have any cutting edge attack they usually have. |

You make a good point (which I agree with), but I disagree with those two statments. Barca with Messi, Giuly, Eto'o and Larsson still have on heck of an attack.
Chelsea start Carvalho and Gallas and they'd still have a top defense. Lampard is hard to lose, but they can handle it and definitely can if/when Ballack comes. |

I totally agree arsenal definatly has way more players then u think and their defense is definatly top class even if they didn't have henry and cesc they still would keep games very close with the likes of Eboue, Toure, Sol, Lauren, and Senderos anchoring the back line plus they have some other decent players in the midfield u can't count out reyes and hleb along with van persie up top |
