Think our defence has actually been OK this year. Don't we have quite a good goals against record? Pepe just been unlucky?
My questions is why would we not give some of the youngsters a go? We have guaranteed Europenext year and are not able to get champions league so what is the harm. Bring on Suso, Coady, Flanagan, Sterling?
Yup. Seemed to me we suffered a bit when we lost Lucas. And has been much worse with the loss of Agger (and GJ) *waits for some statto to come in and prove me wrong*
I think maybe some of them. Defo think we should give players like Shelvey and Coates more of a run out. Flanno too, perhaps, while Kelly and Johnson are injured. But still think its a good time for players to prove we should give them more chances. Carroll, Downing, Adam etc all need to show they can play for this club and may as well give them a go. Give Sterling a run out at some point too
