    Oxlead Chamberlin - why?

    He wants to be a central midfielder along with Coutinho, Can.Ginny, Hendo, Keita, Lallana, Woodburn, Grujic.
    Those that hid Anne Frank were breaking the law.
    Those that killed her, were following the law.

      I think he will be OK with playing on the wings, our attackers see much of the ball and come inside. I don't think he will play centrally just yet.

        will he be happy with league cup outings when Salah/Mane are rested/injured

          We have the CL too, I'm not worried, we loads of options and competition for once and those who will be unhappy next summer are not good enough and can leave.

            I wonder if Lemar is still in the picture if Phil does a runner next summer. If yes, we should be securing his signature now, not waiting to get into a bidding war next summer when his price will be 25% more.

              The Ox will need a lot improvement if he wants to play central and being at Liverpool he will actually get taught tactics.

                I'm very disappointed you missed the opportunity. Even more disappointing than the transfer window.

                  Silly lad. They don't play at CB.

Gaining confidence as a fb is wonderful & it's in the attacking sense that's he's looked best so far not defensively yeah. So I'm not sure he's ready just yet. Useless cup games is when I think he'll be given his chance though.

                    Only 4? How many do you think we need? - don't think many other clubs have more than 4. I don't think our defensive problems are all down to quality either, the system we pay is one of the issues as is zonal marking, would like to see us revert to man marking.

                      Once again it looks like we're aiming for Champions league qualification this year. I really thought this was the summer we would kick on and get the players in to win the premier. I really hope I'm wrong but it doesn't appear to be so.

                      Maybe next summer!?

                        Hey, Leicester won the league with a backline of journeymen in Simpson-Huth-Morgan-Fuchs, and we once won the CL with Djimi Traore at left back, so anything is possible even with our current backline.
                        I could not dig, I dared not rob:
                        Therefore I lied to please the mob.
                        Now all my lies are proved untrue
                        And I must face the men I slew.
                        What tale shall serve me here among
                        Mine angry and defrauded young?

                          Really don't think the back line is that bad - one CB from being decent.

                            I'd say one CB and a top class keeper. Mig isn't terribad but he's also not the sort of keeper you look at and think "even if the defending is dodgy they've still got to get past him".

                            If we had someone truly exceptional in goal I think the whole backline would exude a far greater amount of confidence, and that's often the problem moreso than the ability of the personnel, those random nervy moments where individual errors creep in & you can just tell we're going to concede.

                              Yeah 4 in total & one is untried at this level as a CB. Matip & Lovren had fitness issues last season so it's hardly the ideal situation is it. I totally agree with the zonal marking system & would love to see us revert to man marking sooner rather than later.

                                It feels like most errors get punished & I can't remember the last time any of our keepers were the MOTM & saved our bacon.
