Trent out for a month with a new injury. We are getting very low on defenders at the moment.

Bloody hell is this correct Ed? Leaves us very low on options if so.

{Ed001's Note - yep.}

Camancho? Didn't play amazing against wolves but there is definitely talent there. Title winning talent? I don't know.

I think we should move for a right back now. Up to this point I have been fine about not buying in this window, not rocking the boat etc.

But,
Gomez,
Lovren,
Matip and trent out with injury. Clyne off to Bournemouth. We need a Rb and as trent is seen as a future CM im sure klopp and Co have plans for buying a Rb at some point. We may be forced into buying that RB this January.

Question is, who? Who would you guys like to see us sign for RB?

I know we have fab and milly who can potentially play there but fab is filling in at CB and milner is invaluable in that midfield (so is fabhino tbf) at this rate we will have Alison at CB, fab out to RB and migs in the sticks!

I'm probably panicking unduly, we have big squads for a reason. Milner can play RB no problem and we have a lot of CMs to play midfield.

And in the next few weeks our injured defence will start to come back to full strength.

{Ed001's Note - Matip is fit.}

So Ed, I guess it will be Milner for now?

{Ed001's Note - or Fabs.}

Ffs great. Dropping like flys all in the defensive area. Is Gomez back in training? Could of done with Clyne to cover.

I'd have fabinho at Rb with matip on personally.

Fabinho is a right back for Brazil at international level and milner has shown himself to be more than capable there. Matip back and gomez back in a few weeks. Nothing too much to worry about imo.

I'll have Milner at RB, with Fabinho at the centre. Let Matip stay on the bench.
Joe Gomez should be back in the next 2 weeks, I presume. We'll be fine.

I've mentioned it on another thread, but the young lad, Hoever, that came on at CB against Wolves is naturally a RB. It could be his time to shine. He certainly looked like he's got the minerals.

Ah, thanks ed01, I didn't know matip was back. That makes it less of a problem then. Matip at CB and fabhino out on the right.

Alisson

Fab matip vvd and robbo.

That is a pretty strong defence. I wouldn't be surprised if fab turns out to be a better RB than young trent. Matip looks to have improved a lot too. All our defenders look so much better alongside vvd.

Think its a big problem, especially playing fabs RB, where we need the width through our full backs. let's face it TAA isn't great defensively but brings a ton going forward. might mean a lack of penetration going forward.

It may be a step too soon or a step too far, for Hoever. But it's a good idea to keep him on the bench, just in case. I'd rather go with Milner at right back, Fabinho at CB and Hendo, Wiji and Shaq at midfield. We'll be at home against Crystal Palace; got to continue with our 4-2-3-1. And I prefer Fabinho's tougher approach to Matip's against the likes of Zaha and Benteke.

What’s all this clamour for Clyne all of a sudden? Even if he was still here Milly would start ahead of him at RB anyway!
Just people trying to find another stick to beat the club with. Clyne wasn’t good enough and asked to go so we got rid.
He just would’ve been sitting on the bench anyway taking valuable experiences away from one of the academy players.

I think fab is more than direct enough to bee an attacking FB.

You cannot play RB for Brazil if you have limited attacking quality. That is a fact since the days of Jorginho and Cafu after him. Fab can get forward and provide quality as that is the quality you have to have to play RB for Brazil. If he plays there then he will be solid even tho I agree that Milner should play at RB with Fab in DM protecting him and the rest of the back line.
