Is left back really a problem?

If we play swp at RB sun could do a job on the left.

I'd still have Tiatto ahead of Zinchenko and Mendy.

IMO - Left back is a huge problem for us - both offensively and especially defensively - it's our biggest weakness ATM.

I think that Ake may go a long ways towards solving our defensive issues at LB - but I haven't seen him play there enough to be sure.

A back four of Walker; Dias; Laporte; Ake would make us really solid at the back. With them we could afford to put in a really offensive midfield and attack.

Not a problem at all

RB is probably more of an issue, because Cancelo is the starting LB and has Ake, Mendy, Zinchenko to rotate him.

Who rotates for Walker if Cancelo is also playing???

Maybe Cancelo with Ake at left back?

That definitely works, as it preserves the idea of a defensive fullback and an offensive fullback.

But if our backup RB is our starting LB, I think that's a problem.
