Hi Eds; I assume our back 3 system is here to stay is it? And the decision for next season for the club is deciding whether to keep Lovren or integrate Ilori, Wilson, Paez or Wisdom into it?
{Ed001's Note - it depends on the players available and who is making the choices. It is just a formation, it really doesn't have much relevance.}

Given the current staff and the fact we're expecting more of an "outs" than "ins" Summer and of course assuming BR remains you'd imagine it's likely. If like to see Ilori given a run at some stage. Seems comfortable on the ball and quite fast.

If you take yesterday's formation, take out Allen, stick Can in his place in midfield, stick sakho in Can's place then that would be my guess for next season.

Thomo, who is the " Wilson " you refer to, surely you don't mean Danny Wilson who left us several years ago when he signed for Hearts ? Just wondering .

Why does it have it to be Lovren or the others? Lovren and Ilori should both be given a chance next season. Wilson left 2 seasons ago, while Paez and Wisdom will probably move on. If Brendan (if he stays) wants to persist with a back 3, then all CBs at the club will get a fair chance hopefully.

Harry Wilson, Welsh. Already has a Welsh cap if I am not mistaken.
Highly rated by the club.
But so many youngsters are now.
Danny Wilson was at Hearts last time I checked.

Harry Wilson is a winger not a defender

@Ed001, the only relevance the formation could have would be in whether or not full backs would be required. With Rodgers preferring wingers he hasn't the need for two right backs or two left backs, I don't think anyway.
Johnson and Enrique both out without anyone coming in instead of them is what I mean by that. I think we'd have enough without them anyway even if we were to switch to a flat back four (I hope Flanagan proves his fitness to get a new contract).
{Ed001's Note - but Moreno is a full back, and having full backs allows the team to switch during a match easily from a back three to a back four, so we are not going to do away with them altogether.}

I don't mean to do away with them I just mean I think we don't need as many of them.
If Johnson goes we would still have plenty who could play RB without signing a replacement for him. I think the same for Enrique going I think we still have enough without the need to go and purchase another LB.
