Nathaniel Clyne

My man of the match for England, dunno how Walker is considered the best right back.

He played well & if he'd gone to ground would have been awarded the penalty.

[Rich]

Him and Walker are pretty similar players IMO. Clyne shades the defensive side, while Walker is slightly better going forward. Neither are good in the air.

How many full backs are?

Four I think, Bertrand and Rose as well.

Get Someone like Hector and we would have


Clyne --Matip--Sakho--Hector



Which would potentially be a very solid back four with a nice mix of traits.

Second-choice to Walker.

Walker is nothing more than a pub level footballer

[BigChief]

Second-choice to Walker.

Loving it! He comes back laughing and not injured. Hopefully a good holiday and then we go again!

We still need some backup don't you think? Lovren is the only other current player that I'd be comfortable slotting in with minimal drop in performance. (Assuming Matip is all we hope he is )

[The_weatherman]

Second-choice to Walker.

You know, what, I'm so pleased he wasn't playing against Iceland, him and Lallana as well, I think Lallana would have been a perfect fit against our full backs, so pleased he put Sturridge on the right and Sterling on the left.

Lovern and Matip would be competing for the RCB slot and we would have Gomez and Ilori for the 4th and 5th CB back up slots. We would also have Lucas available as a stand in.


Given we have no European footy this season, that gives us six players to rotate for the two CB slots.


Of course if Sakho gets suspended/banned (think he has a hearing in the next few weeks) then we would need to start looking for another starter level CB.


For the FB slots if we had the starting lineup I posted, then we would have Flanagan, Moreno, Gomez, and Smith as the cover for the two starters. Again giving us six players to rotate for two positions.
