    Right back options

    So when do we expect Trent back ? And in the meantime who can play there ? Neco seems to have got the nod now Milly is injured . Could the Greek fella play right back?

    in the champions league that is, then obviously phillips

    people seem to forget fabinho has played there, before he played CB

    not ideal but what can you do

    Or he'll do what you said start robertson/greek there

    Either Tsimikas or at a push Robbo would be better than Neco.
    Sorry he just ain’t good enough.

    Think he's ok but his confidence will be shot especially now, so yeah

    We could've had even Henderson as a option if the midfielders weren't all bloody injured as well.

    He is young and is playing for his national team as well so he must have something about him.
    However the last 2 games were not good from him. He looks nervous on the ball and today he hit it too long too often.
    Also caught out of position a bit. Maybe lacking confidence. But right now I don't think we can afford to play him.

    The Greek didn’t exactly cover himself in glory in midweek.

    I really wish we’d kept Hoever. That’s not with the benefit of hindsight, I said it at time. He always looked assured at RB or RCB. instead we kept Van de Berg, who has never looked close to playing in the first team.
    I bet you can squeal like a pig!

    Think we should persist with Neco during this difficult time.

    There are players who need a rest - Wijnaldum surely being one - and if you shift someone into the right-back slot who normally plays in midfield, it means we have to "find" an extra midfielder from our list, at a time when Milner, Keita, Ox and Thiago are all missing and Henderson is only just back.

    If you have to make a tactical tweak by trying to channel more play down the left to put him under less pressure, drop a little more or encourage him to act as a right-wing-back and tuck Robbo across a bit so we have a defensive "three" to cover when the ball goes forward on the right side of the pitch, do so - but don't place any more strain on our limited options at a time when a bunch are out and Fabinho will be playing as centre-back a fair bit.

    That opening sentence just fills me with dread Sid.
