Right back options……

[Stoned Rose]

If Dumfries is available in January do whatever it fucking takes. That would be a transformative signing. The relief it would give this team actually having a genuine full back with physical attributes.

He was brilliant against Arsenal I the week.

This is the most important position

Maybe we should just look for another CB to play RB like Akanji did in the treble season, seeing how few decent RBs there are.

Walker’s been dreadful for the past 18 months, he’s completely given up or had his head turned by stuff going on outside.

We actually look solid when we have Akanji or Stones playing at right back. Either is a much better option than Walker who has just become a liability.

 

[OntarioBlue]

I agree but Branthwaite has been missing this season with injury!!!!!!!!!!

He’ll fit right in then, as long as we space for him in the treatment room.

Akanji

I'd rather this - we ask Gvardiol to push forward from LB anyway, so Akanji as RB works well.

 

[Ajm1985]

Yeah it’s not a system I’m liking at the minute, plays into all the weaknesses in midfield too much and leaves kova especially exposed. Double pivot needed from somewhere.

I'm sure we were discussing the need for a double pivot in the summer - it's like we were prescient to what the problems would be

Agree but we need fit centre backs so he can be used out there.

Yeah I said Dumfries before, not got long left on his contract either so shouldn’t a ton. Good in the air for a fullback too.

We looked most solid defensively when we had 4 CBs across the back line.

Akanji, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol
That’s the back four I want to see when they’re back.
Walker, Ake and Simpson-Pusey as backup.
Lewis in midfield.
