Best back four in the league...

[SecretPro]

Ricardo, Fofana, Soyuncu, Castagne.

 

It makes my mouth water.

Can’t wait to see them all play together could be a while tho.

Think we have to see how good castagne is at left back first. If he's 90% of the player he is on the right we definitely have a case.

I predict it won't happen as Rodgers will revert back to his beloved back 5 as soon as more defenders become available

And it's not the best back four at Leicester City.

But according to Liverpool fans VVD is the best back 4 in the league on his own. Not sure if any of you are aware though that he nearly died last week at Everton. It's not been reported much at all but he was involved in a horrific incident and it was touch and go for a while.

 

 

In all seriousness though, the thought of Ricardo, Fofana, Cags and Castagne does sound great, however it remains to be seen if Castagne will be as effective at left back.

I know I'm biased but in this instance even bias doesn't even really cover this statement: I would not swap our current crop of defensive options with any other squad in the league.

 

Ricardo and Castagne are every bit elite level full backs. Evans is a blueprint for a top EPL CB. Soyuncu and Fofana are superb ball playing CBs. Justin has come on a lot and has real potential and offers great versatility. There's some exciting yoof in young Thomas and also the vast experience and leadership qualities of Morgan and Fuchs. Benkovic too, may still come good and certainly has something about him.

 

That has been carefully built and managed over the last 4 seasons and the club deserve immense credit for that.

Bit harsh on Evans tbh.

You know how it is on FT. New player has 2 good games and there's a clamour for him to replace the established guy who has hardly put a foot wrong in 2 seasons.

Of course Evans being in that line up means it would still be the best back 4 in the league, but I'm thinking in a year or two time that this back four COULD be the stuff of greatness (if they all stick around).

It does, but I do wonder what Fofana and Soyuncu would be like together. I think at this stage, both of them require an 'Evans' alongside to get the best out of them but still, if everyone was fit, I think we're better with 4 at the back and not 3. With so many games however  there should be enough to keep them all happy. 

[Aus Fox]

With Wilf sitting in front of them!!! Get them all on the park and we’ll never concede again!

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Will it ever happen though?!

[TheUltimateWinner]

I agree on paper it looks good, but let's not get carried away just yet!

 

In that back four, there's an unproven centre back pairing with two centre backs who both like to bomb forwards and also a predominantly right back playing left back.

Very harsh on our best centre back Evans..

Castagne at LB doesnt seem likely if he hasn't been seen there yet with Justin and now Fuchs playing there this season. 

[goose2010]

The best thing about it is that it gives us options to go into a 3 or a 2. Evans is still number 1 for me though but Forfana and Soyunchu could give us stability for the next 5 to 10 years! It wont happen but the only reason it wouldn't happen is if we sold them for world records figures again. 

 

 

[jmono84]

Think if Fofana and Soyuncu can work well together they can be formidable. Fofana has aerial presence similar to VVD from the little I’ve seen and both can cover each other simply and effectively. That’s a pairing I would love to see but we gotta wait weeks and weeks!

 

Evans is class tho, only thing he lacks compared to the others is pace.

[norwichfox]

Bit early to say yet, but without doubt we have one of the very best "back squads" I worry about the next player to be transferred out for megga bucks being Çağlar Söyüncü.

[RowlattsFox]

Individually excellent players, yet to see if they can be a strong unit. Certainly an exciting line up. 

[Muzzy_Larsson]

Potential there is massive yes but let's try and keep our feet on the ground.

 

An unfavourable result against Arsenal at the weekend and everyone will be branded sh!t again and Rodgers should be sacked.

[davieG]

You need someone with Evans' experience to harness and organise them, you only have to watch him in games to see what we'd miss without that knowledge.
