In the next 4 weeks we have Brum, Wigan and Spurs in the EPL. If we are not capable of beating them without Agger and Alonso then we should re-evaluate our title hopes. If they are still out for the Everton and Arsenal games then yes it is a big problem. I see their absence for of a problem for the Champs Lge, especially Besiktas away. They are two players who can bring the ball down, pass calmly, change play etc. Not too many others can do that in our squad.
