Why? He carried on and still played immense, it’s the opposite of worrying.

it not that. If it keep popping out then surgery will be needed

Is there any other history of it happening?

Surely Ricardo and Timmy can just swap sides every now and then during a game? 
 

If they are comfortable playing on both sides it could cause all sorts of problems for other team and mean we don’t need to worry about playing them in fixed left or right back positions.

Yep we could do that, or we could do things where you put Under on the left hand side so we have a left footed player and the left back cuts in, instead of the other way round. Or we could mix it up and do all of that at various stages in the game. If you compare the way we play to Liverpool and Man City, we play more like Man City than Liverpool - we go through the centre more often and look to get a slick passing game going, whereas Liverpool use their midfield as their solid base upfield and let their wide players do the attacking. This was of course before they signed Thiago which gives them a very scary new option.

 

Castagne and Ricardo can play football, that we can see. So in some ways it doesn't matter where they are on the pitch, they will always have an impact, something we've already seen with Ricardo.

Just hope he can do it on the left. If he wasn’t first choice at Atalanta, I’d love to see what the bloke who is first choice is like.

Not for a few years but did happen once before 

[wardyfox86]

Going to be a great headache for Brendan on who to play on the left. Ricky P cutting in with his shooting ability is an equally scary, exciting prospect.

 

The fact he's playing JJ on the left means maybe Castagne is 1st choice RB, otherwise surely it would make more sense for JJ to be on the right where he is more comfortable, and for Castagne to be on the left where he is more experienced than JJ. Hope that makes sense. 

 

Interchanging fullbacks could be our thing though, with JJ equally as versatile. 

[KingsX]

Elite two way fullbacks are like gold dust … even the biggest clubs can’t find them.  How did we grab both Ricardo and Castagne @ 25M ?!

Where's he said that? There was a little Northcroft interview in the Times today where he as good as says Rodgers told him he wanted someone who could play either side and he knows he'll be used on both.

Think he mentioned shortly before/after West Brom game that he left Atalanta because Gasperini kept changing the position he was being played in, and wanted some regularity and consistency.

This guy hasn't really settled has he....

My son was with lcfc academy for 4 years until he dislocated his shoulder during a game at middlesboro. They decided to release him and he played semi pro for 2 years after but his shoulder dislocated 5 times during this period. He had an operation on his shoulder but was advised to give up football as it would more than likely happen again and put him back to square one. He hasn't played since.

Sorry to hear that, gutted for him.

If anything that tells you the level you need to be a champions league player and the level of player we need at the club if we want to be there.

Once is not so bad. Stringer made reference to it having happened before, but with no further detail.

 

Let's hope it wasn't too traumatic or serious, because the lad is on fire.

Said this before, plus with Barnes, Perez, albrighton an now ünder we can also switch wingers which gives us so many options either off the bench or during play we can pull teams who try the low block all over the place. We are looking like the real deal.

[Billy Big Balls]

 

These are the injuries he's had. Either this is the first time he's dislocated it since 2016 or he's just one of them that has it pop out now and then without it being a problem so they haven't put them on this.

Hi. Sorry to hear that. But look up Steven Defour. His shoulder pops out every 2/3 games. Some people can play professional football with it.

[Grantham Fox]

So has anything been said as to whether he’ll be out injured because of this? He seemed fine and was immense even after the injury.

BR confirmed Castagne shoulder pop out during game and put back in

worrying 

 

 A minimum of protective equipment, and problem solved.

 

 

[Foxymcoxy]

If he's close to as good on the left as he is on the right we've played a blinder here. I rated Chillwell but he rarely played as well as Timmy has in his first couple of games.

[Gevans_97]

This guy has been immense so far this season. Going to be very interesting to see what happens when Ricardo is back. Be very harsh to displace him on the right. 

[Nalis]

Where's the hide Castagne thread?

[Finnegan]

Absolutely world class. 

 

We've got two of the three best right backs in the league. How good has he been? 

 

Really do hope Rodgers has a plan for Castagne and Ricardo to be our two first choice full backs when they're both fit. 

[StriderHiryu]

He is absolutely mustard.

 

Serious question has any other player had a better first 3 games for the club?! Not even Kante was as good (to be fair he was put out on the wing for one of those games!)

[ARTY_FOX]

Hopefully one of him or Ricky p can play the other side because the thought of those 2 in the same side is orgasmic
