Huge pressure on Robin Koch today, got to lead a very inexperienced cb partner and goalkeeper through a game.

While i admire Dallas for his energy and professionalism, imo defensively he isnt good enough. We will see today if that is fair or not.

Ayling to, the two fb positions are crucial.

At least Koch and Struijk give us height and pleased to see Ian on the bench, definitely 2nd choice behind Rodders if we need a goal.

Also no Douglas, either injured (which wouldn't be a shock) or down the pecking order. Definitely someone we should sell to provide extra funds imo.

Looks like Douglas falls behind Alioski. Maybe even Davis. Although Davis might go out on loan.

I'm interested at CB now. Seems Bielsa has Strujik as his left sided back up and probably Ayling as right sided back up. Maybe he doesn't want another CB coming in

Glad about Meslier and Ayling always brings that little bit (or a lot) more when he plays.
I do share concern about our CB pairing but we don't have too much option - it could just work out.

Far too slow for the PL, it would be reminiscent of watching Ian Harte being skinned by quick wingers trotting back in vain, only difference between them Harte scored some wonderful goals from set-pieces

I won't thanks mate. Don't want to have to worry about LUFC results. Being a Y is stressful enough.
