Interesting - I think rather than using Lia as RB and trying to get a cover for wingback, we should be getting a REAL right back and using Lia for cover. Just IMO.
dude right-back (and wingback in general) is one of the most problematic positions for every club, with good and as u describe REAL right backs being ridiculously hard to find, if there was one we would have snapped him up.
Lia is young and already a utility player, owing to the fact we now know for sure hes being targeted as a right back for us, and Ricki was a defender himself, with a full season training program and pre season cup playing and learning the trade he will be as close to a REAL right back as we are going to, and we could definately do a lot worse, i feel completely comfortable with that defense line up, with christie as cover for him. all we need are strikers now
