Can we have a vote on who Liverpool should use for RB as it's one position I feel we really should have strengthened in the summer window.
Vote goes something like this:
Nobody new, Connor Bradley is good enough and will be back around Oct/Nov
Use Araujo, he will become our new RB
Buy Kayode from Brentford he should have been our No2 choice in the summer window
Buy Kounde from Barca he should have been our No1 choice in the summer window
Use Chambers, he is good enough to play that position.
Buy someone like Guela Doue and allow them to develop.

Out of curiosity, does anyone else feel Jacquet could be decent there? Can pass, has pace, and I feel it will help him adapt to the league. Let Araujo play in the middle and give us a bit more height at the back too.
Just a thought, but until Jan, it does feel the best option is probably Dom. Although I'm
still hoping Frimpong can prove me wrong.

Bit late now.

Interesting that AI has selected a recognised (albeit relatively unknown) RB in the HG section of the PL squad - Isaac Mabaya. I wonder if AI sees something there?

My top preference would be to move heaven and earth to secure Daniel Banjaqui (Benfica youngster) and then get a cost-effective experienced RB in the interim such as Wilfried Singo, who would offer us the physicality needed.
Depending on how Archie Gray gets on at Spurs, it's worth keeping an eye on whether he establishes himself ahead of Porro at RB or in midfield.
Failing that, revisit the Givairo Read (Feyenoord) or Martim Fernandes (Porto) situations.
Outside shouts - have another look at Ait Boudlal (Rennes) and Ismaelo Ganiou (Lens). These two are more RB/CB profiles.
{Ed025's Note - they dont fit the profile FPF, they have to cost £100m or more to fit into the Liverpool ethos mate.. :)

Doue is now at Leverkusen.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Gomez start there if and when he can get fit... Always liked Gomez at right back, limited offensively but has good pace and is a good, solid defender.
Problem, of course, is how long he will stay fit for, but I'm hoping he can get a run of games now he's back in training.

I'd start Szobo there in today's game. Evaluate further afterwards.

Who should be Liverpool’s right-back?
Conor Bradley — because he’s always right back, just never actually back. ?
And Joe Gomez? He’s been on “Be Right Back” since 2019.

ha - you are not wrong, Ed025.

@Reyrey1, I don't see that at all. In fact, as Jacquet was a former midfielder (with Paul Pogba) as his role model on the pitch, I've seen people think he can actually play the deeper midfield role.
@Zed, yeah. I found that Mabaya inclusion very interesting indeed. The kid had game time under Klopp in preseason a few years back so one to watch.

“I’d love it” if Mabaya broke into the squad and became the new starter - competition for Connor.

??? Bradley, Frimpong, Gomez, Araujo, Mbaya, Dom. I really do think we missed out on a golden opportunity to bring in an RB in the recent window. We look really short of bodies on the right side of the defence.
