Deeg67 Posted 1 September 2020 Share Posted 1 September 2020 I'm not sure what signing both Castagne and Gosens would say about Rodgers' plans for the club. If you play Gosens at LB, where do you play Castagne? You can put him at RB until Pereira comes back, but what then? Gosens is certainly an offensive-minded player and probably better suited to a wing-back in a 3 at the back setup, but there's still only room for 2 wingbacks in any given formation. And I don't think Gosens is a true winger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the case, could be that Justin is someone Rodgers fancies at CB rather than RB, offer some real pace at the back.

Pace in the CB area would be fantastic. A major deficiency we have had for years. I am still amazed we won the league with that back 4. Shows how brilliant Kante was.

KFS Posted 1 September 2020 Share Posted 1 September 2020 Says to me we’re going wing backs with JJ as the cover across the back line. Could loan out Thomas as well. Much better if Gosens comes in too than just Castagne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerrrFox Posted 1 September 2020 Share Posted 1 September 2020 Brendan has said previously that Justin needs a lot of work in the attacking sense and to be honest he looked far from comfortable as an out and out full back after Pereira got injured. Could very well be that Brendan now sees him as a wide centre back in a back 3 formation and hopes to develop the attacking side of his game as he gets more experience and matures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
