Ed001 I was at Joe Gomez' leaving BBQ yesterday and he was talking about how much he like O'driscoll, he was saying he's very quite but has great ideas, also Ibe has been told they want to try him out a bit deeper in pre season, not sure if it will happen though or why they would want too.

Ibe may be too dangerous going forward so it could be to try to limit his attacking prowess so that instead of him tearing apart a full back he could try to play full back himself. Other managers will be bamboozled

I reckon it's to accommodate Firmino myself

Square tomato: how deeper can he get than wingback? - surely they ain't going to play him at full back!

No way he plays wingback unless Clyne and Moreno both get injured. I think Firmino will play as a #10 behind a central striker. Coutinho, Henderson and Milner are likely to be mainstays in the side, so Lallana, Markovic, Ibe, Allen, Lucas and Can are fighting for 2 spots. That actually gives us a fair few options if we want to play more robust in the middle of the park (Can, Lucas), one-two touch (Allen) or with more width (Markovic, Ibe).

Goalie, then because that`s the deepest he can play on our side of the pitch except of course, if you want him plaing in the Kop end
