James Mzamo Musa 21 yo New Zealand left back released by Fulham starts training tomorrow very promising full back
Only the 6 th left back
I thought the squad was complete. However, I still think the left back spot is a weakness, despite the large number of players we have who have played there. Even ignoring the youngsters in the squad, we have experienced left backs in Hill, Williams and Higginbotham. IF we decide to bring this kid in, we should surely be looking to offload a couple of these.
We should probably offload Hill and Williams if we do decide to bring this guy in. We could really do with reducing the amount of LBs we have so it could be a good opportunity to do that and still have some good players in that position.
Jasper Johns is also a left back, Sean McGinty is centre/ left back. Where is Aaron Barry's preferred position in defence? I say get rid of Hill and Williams and let Higginbotham fight it out with the young lads for that left back spot.
I thought Tel Kennedy was expected to make the breakthrough into the first team this year, after his injury problems. He grew up playing alongside Maguire in the youth set-up, and can also play left back apparently.
It has always felt apart from Jordan and Taylor that we through someone in to LB position what I think was one of the problem with our width as we always attacked down the right
Ija are you mad? Did you watch united last season?
Hill was our best defender last season.
J j mullins
Mate McMahon clearly was.
I'd have said Long
I said best defender I'm sure long is a keeper
Keepers defend the goal. That's wot we do! We defend against those nasty players who want to put the ball in our nets! Keepers are defenders. Get used to it!
OK. Keepers are ultimately there to defend the goal but no way are they generally thought of as being defenders, stop being so pedantic my friend.
Ok so here goes: goalkeepers are considered part of the defence and technically they're defenders. However they're not usually referred to as defenders.
Who said Jasper Johns is a left back? he is a striker!
Says on Everton website he is LB or Centre Mid-field
