I think is issue is nobody has faith in Mendy anymore due to his injury history and the toil those injuries have taken on him we are essentially starting yet another season where a cm will be playing more games at lb then our lb. Mendy should be our back up lb IMHO he is very inconsistent and I don't believe he is capable of playing every 5 days or so. Hope in wrong on both accounts.I think if you apply one standard to our squad, then you have to apply it to EVERY position at EVERY one of our rivals.
So - who is Trent's back up? Robertson's? Who steps in if VVD gets injured? What about Salah, who steps in when he goes down? In all those positions you think they have better options than us? If not then why won't the fact they don't have 2 world class players in every position come back and haunt them?
All that isn't to say that I wouldn't also like a left back. The point is that there's a long way from "we could do with another specialist left back" to "we won't win the league because we don't have a specialist left back back up for Mendy".
Liverpool have Gomez, Van Dijk and Matip competing for 2 positions. As for Salah they’ve added Jota. TAA has Neco Williams as cover. Liverpool bought a Greek international left back. The replacements won’t be are at the same level but they do offer decent cover.I think if you apply one standard to our squad, then you have to apply it to EVERY position at EVERY one of our rivals.

Inside knowledge, no. I do feel easier for young academy lad, Doyle for instance, to replace the legs of ferny, than the guile of a more advanced Gundogan.
one of us, one of us, one of us...Y'all need to stop I'm actually going to start feeling welcome on this forum again. Haha.
Neco fucking williams? How is that decent cover? He's bang average.Liverpool have Gomez, Van Dijk and Matip competing for 2 positions. As for Salah they’ve added Jota. TAA has Neco Williams as cover.

We have Mendy, who mostly due to injury, has failed to live up to expectations, and no other specialist. Zinchenko, Ake and Cancelo are all options but none are natural left backs.
The real issue is that our only left back hasn’t been consistently fit enough or performed well enough. The mistakes at Wolves and Chelsea last season were costly and he looked rusty at Wolves, ropey against Leicester, admittedly he wasn’t the only one. He was much better against Burnley but that has to be the norm for him or he will get targeted a lot this season.
