Think we can expect a goal-fest this season..

[floyd the barber]

Theres no doubt we can into this season with lots of optimism.

With a number of quality signings since january its pretty likely we are gonna see some entertaining football.

With players such as Gerrard,downing,carroll,suarez,henderson,adam - all matchwinners who all weigh in with a number of goals..im not worried about that part.

 

I am worried about our defence, regardless of the opposition our pre-season has been littered with a ton of goals conceded mostly due to our errors.

 

At this stage i couldnt for the life of me tell you what our first 4 in defence will be and that is a huge worry..the options dont really give me confidence.

Carra - 99% hes gonna be first defender on the team sheet, but should this be the case?

Agger - cannot be relied on due to his horrible track record with injuries

Skrtel - to his credit he had a decent last 6 months...but isnt the level we need

the greek - not good enough

wilson - hasnt shown anything in the brief times we`ve seen him..needs another 12 months

Kelly - hasnt really had a chance as a center back

 

Full backs and

kelly - should be first choice for me as a right back

johnson - still questions marks regarding his defending, though like skrtel had a decent last 6 months...he also showed himself to be decent as a left bacl

flanno - excelled when in the side...though is he ready for consistent first team action?

Robinson - like flanno he did a great job, but isnt ready yet

aurellio - permanently injured

insua - not good enough

 

Tons of options and good potential for the future but now?

 

so for me, we go into the season without a clue who our back 4 will be...not good

With Agger and Aurellio fit it becomes easy...but this aint gonna happen

 

With what we have now, id go with

--kelly-----carra--skrtel----johnson

 

we played that a few times last season and it worked out well.....IF we dont bring anyone else in, it really is our best option

 

Basically right now i can see excting games with us......but for us to challenge for the title, we have to bring in a couple of defenders before the end of the window.
