Paul joyce saying trent is out for 4 weeks.

Milner or Neco at RB then?
It would be nice to see Neco get an opportunity and run with it to be honest and I've seen some pretty good attacking play from him too.
Milner being on the pitch is never a bad thing though, similar to Hendo, a senior head and keeps the guys around him motivated.
Will be interesting to see who drops in.

Gomez can play there with Fabinho back.

If we are able to retain/ attack/ win this league campaign, it will be an awesome accomplishment.

3 years ago in a similar situation TAA got his chance and grabbed it by both hands, and some!

Fabinho, Neco or Milner can play right back.
2 of the 4 weeks will be taken up by the international break.
Leicester is the most problematic game coming up that this will affect.

Might Reds, more likely Fabinho will cover Trent rather than Gomez as Fabs was originally a RB and considered by us for that role before Trent's emergence.

Zed - I'm pretty sure Fabinho's dropped into center half and pushed Gomez to right back in games more than once since he joined (Community Shield, for example) . Conversely, I don't think I've seen him play right back for us ever. Even though he regularly played right back for Monaco.
Personally I don't want to move Gomez out of the center, but I think that's what'll happen unless Klopp uses Williams.

Good point, SR. Did wonder why Fabs hasn't played RB for us - maybe Klopp prefers more attacking, but in which case why play Joe there when he is the more defensive one between him and Neco?
10 Nov 2020 21:21:15
I would prefer to leave Gomez in the centre and Fabinho in midfield ideally.
Neco and Milner to share the minutes in right back.

If Neco isn't our replacement RB, and Milner or Fabinho are ahead of him in the pecking order, perhaps we need to be in the market for an actual RB replacement?
He should be the only choice for RB currently. Just like Kostas would be the LB option if Robbo were to get injured.
11 Nov 2020 20:11:04
Ya as per c_matthews, if Neco isn't our first choice right back backup then why would we have given him a 5 year contract. He has to play the majority of the upcoming minutes at right back.
