now that Laporte and Sane are not available.

Mine:

---------------------Ederson

----------------Ferna--------Rodri

Cancelo---------------------------------Mendy

--------------------Gundog

--------------Bernie-------Kevin

Sterling------------------------------------Jesus

-----------------------Aguero

We are winning most games 5:3 :)

Fern and Rodri, both as CBs? Riiight.


Has anyone got Mangala's number?

Imagine that Stones and Walker are not available for some reason and Otamendi continues to be poor. We may need to try something crazy.

Ferna and Rodri are good defensively and are brilliant at playing from the back.

But what would that do for Garcia and THB's morale, picking holding MFers to play in the position you specialise in? I know they're relatively untried, but surely (against "weaker" opposition) they need to be looked at.

One of them might be looked at but right now would you prefer them over Ferna and Rodri? Rodri was best tackler in La Liga last season. He and Ferna are experienced at that level and know how to cope with high pressing and play from the back. Garcia and Harwood-Bellis don't have exprience with PL football and would be more risky to play than Ferna and Rodri.

Just seems a waste of resources for me, particularly re Rodri. We got him in as a long term successor to Fern (who I can understand being utilised as an emergency CB, even allowing for his lack of height for the role). As I said earlier, against weaker opposition, we need to be taking a look at our alternatives.

It's not a permanent solution, just a possible one under specific conditions. Even if Ota is poor, we have little choice but to play him in some/most games.
