I did notice Rodgers having a nice little chat with hm at the end of the Burnley game. If we are too continue with the 3 back another CB is definitely needed.

Ric Flair Posted 22 March 2021 Share Posted 22 March 2021 Any 4th centre half is likely to need to be able to play in another position too. We need a left sided CB to replace Fuchs and support the options for left back. Justin won't be back for the start of the season and thst then leaves Thomas and Castagne. We have been linked a number of times with David Carmo from Braga although not sure he has the attributes to be a make shift left back. He's also broken his ankle last month. I like the look of Diogo Leite from Porto. Regarded as one of the most promising Portuguese youngsters (along with Carmo) he has a more suited skillset to play left back or left sided central defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30yroldfox Posted 22 March 2021 Share Posted 22 March 2021 (edited) After yesterday’s game would anybody take a chance on Martial? Obviously not having the best time at ManU and rumours they are looking to offload. Broken player with bags of potential, a player that fits the mould Rodgers has spoken about. Confidence player who needs an arm round? Edited 22 March 2021 by 30yroldfox 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleolly Posted 22 March 2021 Share Posted 22 March 2021 Martial has 7 goals in 32 games this season, Nacho has 7 in his last 4 games we don’t need or want Martial anywhere near our club 😂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Posted 22 March 2021 Share Posted 22 March 2021 One of the interesting things about this system we are currently playing is Vardy' role. Previously, I couldn't see anyone replacing him or filling in. There was no-one who played like him but with this new role he is playing, coming deeper, drifting left, less emphasis on goals and more on link up and forcing errors, I can totally see Barnes playing there. Obviously Barnes is best out wide but if we were to primarily play this way, it wouldn't be a massive transition for him. With Barnes and Vardy playing one spot, I would still like to see EDUOARD come in as an Ihneacho alternative. Perez looks far more at home in the #10 spot and is an adequate replacement for Maddison. We are sorted for WBs with JJ, Thomas, Castagne and Ricardo. Ndidi and Tielemans are no brainers but in terms of back up, I would like to see KDH being used as back up for Youri and we would also have Praet who can also offer options further up the pitch. Mendy is decent back up to Ndidi but would quite like to see someone like SOUNAMARE come in. His defensive stats are decent but he also offers a but more in terms of in possession. Fofana, Evans and Cags would be first choice back three with Amartey and JJ able to provide cover but we would need someone else and I thing TARKOWSKI is the perfect pick. The GK options would stay the same but maybe with Iverson coming in. Albrighton and SOWAH would he there as they could provide depth for not only this system but also if we needed to revert to wingers. So with this, I would be quite happy for our squad next year to be..... Kasper Ward Iverson JJ Castagne Ricardo Thomas Tarks Cags Fofana Evans Amartey Sounamare Mendy Ndidi KDH Tielemans Praet Albrighton Sowah Maddison Perez Barnes Eduoard Vardy Nacho Thats 26 with Thomas not having to be registered. We are also fine homegrown wise. I realise that not signing a winger would be a risk but I feel this system really fits the players we have and is worth a proper rack at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely believe they’ll persist with him for years inevitably holding them back due to the fact they spunked so much money on him! 80m+ for a cart horse is absolutely criminal... any cb that gets spun and out paced by Laurent Depoitre shouldn’t be anywhere near a club with aspirations of challenging for silverware each season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
