Our glaring weakness at LB, will it be fixed?

You can stick your Rodrigues he is nowhere near it.

Agree, defensively he's a liability at best.

Looks slower than Kolarov.

How ever you want to paint it, we need an upgrade in the LB asap!

Positionally awful to, decision making. Sandro looks a better fit.

First you have to find one that's any good. Most of the suggestions on hrre have serious flaws. Just swapping one weak link for a different kind of weak link.

Has Mangala played left back in any of our games so far?

Not for us but he played LB for some games at Porto. He seems a front foot defender and charges into the midfield, would be worth giving him a shout at that position if Denayer nails the other CB position.

My point was rather that if Manuel hasn't played him there yet it's unlikely to be a formation for the season ahead.

Agree mate, if he had such plans he would have tried him out there.
