I don’t understand how LB cannot be the second priority after CM?
🔺We have four players who can play fullback:
Shaw
Dorgu
Mazraoui
Dalot
Dorgu is coming off a serious hamstring injury. Shaw has never been healthy, and is a much better fit at CB at his current age. Mazraoui has also had his fair share of knocks. Dorgu is still very young and has looked pretty raw at LB.
🔺I really rate Harry Amass. There is a lot of talk about Thwaits, Lacey and co — but having proved that he can be a goto player for a club in the Championship and having that experience puts Amass head and shoulders above the rest in terms of readiness for the PL. That is a very tough challenge that many top young players fail to pass.
With that said — I am not sure how well Amass even fits what we need at LB?
I mean, he is great on the ball. Very tidy. But will we be able to play keep away with the ball and never defend?
🔺I would love to have an athletic monster at LB. Someone who can invert into the defensive midfield and help our CM out.
A Kyle Walker type at LB would definitely make a lot of sense. Or someone who is more like Hincapie and Calafiori at Arsenal.
As things is now — it could very well turn into a real weak area for us next season. Shaw has been available for like 40% of the games the last 8 years or whatever. If we overplay him just a little bit — he could easily be out for 6 months. That leaves us with 3, Dalot, Dorgu and Mazraoui.
I was questioning Carrick not taking off Dorgu early before he got his hamstring injury. When he plays 90 minutes and have run a lot — he looks like a hamstring injury waiting to happen. Love and behold, he got a serious one last season after just playing what 3-4 straight games.
Play those 3 a lot with little rotation — all of a sudden another one goes down. Then you only have two options which means no rotation and the risk of the two remaining also being injured is increased exponentially.
🔺Many replies to the need for a LB with a reference to Mazraoui also being able to play there. And sure, he can do that. But remember that the World Cup is a lot slower than the PL. He will be challenged a lot more at LB, be given less time. Dalot can also play LB — but gives up a penalty kick every other game he plays there.
But even so — if we are playing Mazraoui at LB, we need another RB. 100%. You need 4 full backs who can be expected to carry a heavy load to survive playing both in the PL and the CL. Shaw is at most 0.4/1 in this context. Dorgu is maybe a 0.6. We need another full back.

@FPLfrasier @KMbappe Did he deserve it? First real test for France and they looked out of their depth.

Feel for Mbappe. Had a sensation World Cup. Deserved to be in the final and win it eventually. Not meant to be. 🥲

@AdamJoseph England's never winning against Spain with the current setup.

@AlexVolloFPL I cheated the system. Kinsky and Maguire might be underpriced by 0.5 😅

Football ain’t real, you know. How many times will they spend 100m on players? What happened to those 115 or 130 charges?
