SO. just 2 weeks to go and our back line STILL looking shaky.

Does anyone have any theories as to why and/or what do you think our best back 4 should be for next season?

Gomez has looked impressive on tour. would you give him a starting chance against Stoke to see how he does or is it too early for him to be in the first team?

Maybe.

Moreno . Sakho. Gomez. Clyne??

A covering DM in front of this back 4 could be our solution.

Personally at this stage their isn't much we can do with the back 4, i'm not confident in any of them if i'm honest. I would play two in front of the back 4, maybe Lucas and Can, try to make us difficult to break down in the hope we could hit them on the counter attack with Benteke as the only striker. I certainly don't want to start with any sort of defeat. That would not be good for anyone.

I use to give Skrtel the benefit of the doubt but I watched him closely the other day and he is carp.

Always caught out of position and for the goal skrtel was up field and Lovren runs around like a wet lettuce. (That guy is seriously lacking in confidence)

Unfortunately for us Skrtel will be the first defenders name on the the team sheet every week.

I will not be surprised if very quicky BR will revert to the back three with Can, Sakkho and Skertl, with Gomez and Clyne on the wings (with Henderson, milner, Ibe Firmino/Lallana and Benteke in fornt of them).

First off I think it does need to be a back 4. I don't want to see us overexposed again.

For me Clyne is nailed on. I don't trust Moreno, Gomez is promising but I'm not sure he's ready to be started yet and I wouldn't throw him in at the deep end but would bring him along gently. Llori has just come back from loan hasn't played anything in pre season so he's a non option for me right now.

So, using the tools (and in one case I use that word advisedly) I would play

Clyne
Skrtel
Lovren
Sakho

Yes Sakho is a CB but he had played at LB quite a bit for France. I'd also consider Gomez at LB.

Bear in mind this is not what I'd do if I had the club cheque book but I don't.

I'd play Lucas with Hendo and Milner against Stoke. Benteke and 2 of Lallana, Firmino, Coutinho and Ibe behind. Probably the English boys due to a longer pre season.

Here's the thing though: wouldn't it be nice to be spoiled for choice on defenders too instead of having to make do and mend?

Lavers: carp are expensive mate. So Skittles ain't carp.

I would go with Clyne, Lovren, Sakho, Moreno and Lucas at CDM

I love Skrtel but no-one looks confident next to him since Agger left, but Lovren/Sakho might develop into something given the chance and with proper cover at DM

Oh well I've heard skirtel called a few things but a fish. ???? Maybe a fish out of water

26 Jul 2015 12:09:07
Hahaha that's exactly what Skrtel is a fish out of water

26 Jul 2015 13:02:28
It will be Clyne-Skrtel-Lovren-Moreno to start with. Depending on how it goes, Sakho or perhaps Gomez will get a look at CB and full back positions respectively.

26 Jul 2015 14:02:28
He's Cool Hand Skrtel, because "what we have here is failure to communicate".

26 Jul 2015 15:05:19
In all honesty if we were to start with lovren I think we would be better giving the place to Gomez.

The lad has looked superb in pre season and lovren doesn't look like finding his form.
