Question for ed 1 if you've got time please.
Centre backs, with vdb coming back off a great season we will have 3 very good RCBs why can't one off them be trained to play as a LCB to be a log term replacement for Virgil rather than buying someone?
{Ed001's Note - Quansah can play there.}

Van dijk still has a good few years in him yet but we do need to think about his successor I would love that to be quansah. Just seems like a really good lad and
His anticipation in the opposition box at set pieces looks very natural aswell could be a decent return on goals from him aswell . He had a brilliant display in the fa cup game against Arsenal at lcb just had a monster and best version of konate that overshadowed how good jarrel was that day aswell ??.

Do you see Quansah as a natural successor to VVD, Ed001? Right footed LCB?
Do you think we would suffer without having a naturally left footed CB? Or could we do like we do on the wings with left footers on the right and right footers on the left?
{Ed001's Note - it would be better if it was a left footer, but it is not vital. Quansah has a lot to work on before he can be considered as a VVD replacement.}

Inacio is the one.

Given most teams play with left footed wide men on the right and visa versa, wouldn't it make sense for managers to try out right footed players a LB and LCB and left footed players at RB and RCB? Surely it's easier to defend against them when the cut inside? No?
{Ed001's Note - but then it would restrict the teams even further when going forward. The idea is to let the full-back overlap into the space vacated by the wideman cutting inside.}

Hanson played as lcb for years and didn't bother him being right footed!

VVD has played on the left (being right footed) for us since the day he arrived as well, Digger. Didn't hurt him one bit.

Probably the 2 best cbs ever 2 put on a red shirt oli would u agree?

Digger, brilliant shout, man. Both players had/ have an aura, a presence about them that you can recognize as soon as you see them on the pitch. True cornerstones of successful LFC teams.
For me like AB1, I can argue VVD is the best CB the PL has ever seen in terms of sheer ability, impact on a whole club not just the team.

Crazy to think that Hansen was this global superstar pre the internet, sky and streaming.
