Marc Cucurella

Virtually every LFC attack was down our left. Opponents know our weak spot.

And just one of those weird coincidences that their best player plays on the right wing for them, if only we had a left back that's not as good as our current left back then they wouldn't have passed to Salah at all

But got found out over two legs against madrid

He didn't even play the first leg and if memory serves the goal that took us into extra time came down our left when Cancelo was playing right back.

if you think we got ‘found out’ against Real then you must have a telly in an alternate universe, @mrsprkl
We outplayed them over both legs. The entire defence, including Ed up to a point, went AWOL for about five minutes either side of the full time whistle. Nothing to do with Cancelo as such, or only in so far as he was part of a collective failure for, as I say, five minutes, eight at the outside.

I would just go for grimaldo if raum is unavailable, sosa is injured and cucurella is to expensive.

Maybe we should put a bid in for that left back?

So ,no plan B?

But by that logic you think Ronaldo and Alexander Arnold had amazing seasons.

We need a left back. A proper orthodox left back who ideally is left footed and defends first and foremost. Hopefully he will be technically sound and be able to play in tight spaces. A bit of pace wouldn’t go a miss either.


Left back is the one position that needs sorting and we can’t afford to go into a new season with two recognised full backs both of whom are right backs.

The issue is we’ve lost all width, sold Sane and Sterling. So we have Grealish, Mahrez and Foden who all cut in or drift centrally. Cancelo usually cuts in, and Walker doesn’t offer much in attack.

A natural LB, Cucurella or otherwise, allows Cancelo to go RB and gives us the option of width again.

Been handled badly this so far imo, was a key signing alongside Phillips and the two mentioned before the season ended was Haaland and Cucurella? Haaland was done early, Phillips went smoothly and surely we spoke to Brighton way before now to gauge the price?

So ,no plan B?

He doesn’t know, he has no contacts at city.

His information in this saga has come from Cucurella.

Cucurella not even being in Brighton's squad yesterday was odd. No mention of any injury so is he in talks with City?
