Our glaring weakness at LB, will it be fixed?

[BigOscar]

Isn't it more to to do with the system we play rather than the actual people that are occupying the fullback roles.

They can either be specialist defenders or auxilery wingers... Not both.

If you're using them, primarily as auxilary wingers, and playing the ridiculously high line that we do, isn't it inevitable that the opposition's front players will continually exploit the massive spaces behind them, whoever's in possession of the shirt?

Just asking.

No, it's the individuals. Given that the problems almost all are individual errors and that we don't have even a quarter of the amount down the right, I think we can safely blame the players

 

[MeatHunterrr]

I wonder why this position have been neglected year after year? Needs fixing immediately

 

[City Raider]

Kolarov/Clichy combo might win the league but forget CL

 

[bluethai]

Both Clichy and Kolarov are not good enough for where we want to be. (Don't forget Sagna is wank as well ;) )

 

[FantasyIreland]

Have people finally woken up and stopped making excuses for a defender who shouldn't be anywhere near a Champions league squad?

 

[Damien10]

The club would be mad to ignore there weak link, and that is left back.

 

[Mattyc55]

Right back strength isn't much better. Sagna is finished.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Right back strength isn't much better. Sagna is finished.

He played ok today,as he always does.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Astounding really that we haven't rectified the weakness at Left back, and I've got a horrible feeling we aren't going to either.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

It was there for all to see, we are poor at the back generally and left back in particular. I'm not sure what the two young lads can take from that mauling today I just hope it hasn't damaged their confidence too much.
