The three left backs at the club:
Riise: At this moment he is our best left back. But I think it is fair to say he is our weakest link in defence, thats not to say he isn’t doing O.K, but he isn’t as good a defender as Finnan, Carragher and Hyypia. Ideally he is a wingback, but obviously we don’t play that way.
Warnock: He is good cover. He is going through a shaky patch at the moment. He obviously has qualities, but when he plays his lack of experience shows. Sometimes you get the feeling he plays more with his bottle than his brain. I think if someone could offer him 38 League games from start to finish in the Premiership he could be on the way to becoming a very good left back.
Troare: I was shocked when Rafa gave him a 4 year contract. Is he really a left back or is he more suited to being a centre back? Well whatever the answer he really shouldn’t be here, my guess is that he is still at the club because he offers emergency cover at centre back.
So in conclusion, there is no major problem at left back, we have Riise and Warnock competing. But in the long term after other areas have been addressed, Rafa may look to improve this position.
i think yes what about you
