Oh for heaven sake, the point I was originally making was that as it stands if Virgil or Joe get injured then we are going to have to start playing one of these lads in Central defence in premiership games, so instead of that rather terrifying idea I propose buying another CB who is perhaps not quite as injury prone as Lovren or Matip.
I'm baffled why this is so controversial and I fully expect someone else to say the exact same thing in a couple of posts time and get several upticks ;-)
Just like if we lose Alisson and Adrian, we will have Kelleher playing who is far from Premier League standard. Same if we have have an injury crisis anywhere on the pitch, we’d have to turn to the youngsters who are far from ready for the Premier League. But believe it or not, they might do a bit better in a team that’s full of experience rather than a team from their usual weekly level.
No matter which way you twist it, an injury crisis anywhere on the pitch could mean turning to the youngsters, not just at CB. We had Hoever come in and play against Wolves at the age of 16 and he far from disappointed.
You think Sepp would have made the mistakes he did if he had an experienced player next to him talking him through the game? Not a chance so give it a rest and try and write him off when he’s actually been given a proper chance because you are basing him coming in to play on 3 of our 4 CBs being injured, as well as the players who can fill in their; Fab, Hendo, Gini and probably even Milner. It’s not going to happen.
