The Skipper 20,609 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 To think 6 would be fine is verging on madness,to play possibly 50+ games with 6 defenders i doubt we will finish in the top4 imho!!!Never mind challenging for anythingLuis, Ake, Terry, Zouma, Ivanovic, Cahill, Azpilicueta. 7 defenders is fine.

The probability of both being out for a long spell is very, very low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidator 5,176 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 God help us Terry&Cahill out for long spells or they have to play near 50 games especially Jt!The same could be said for any club. Very few have more than 3 very high quality centre backs. We just need a back up left back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So barring injury or suspension nothing will change. They won't be rested.If you read my other post it shows how with our versatile defenders we can cover even two players being out at one time. Any more than that (agan like i said in my other post) would be extremely unlucky and not a thing you can really plan for. So if you actually think about it, it isn't 'verging on madness' at all is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Terry, Cahill and Ivan for CB. That's decent but might want another one unless we use Zouma as that 4th spot. Then Azpi for RB and Felipe for LB. No real cover for either one side, but it's good if we use Ake as well. So depending if we use youth then we will have enough cover. If not we might need one more defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah looks about right Zouma,Ake,Christensen,looks like are going to be used this season mmm i probly would have liked another World class cb added to this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper22 2,418 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 So we have Azpi & Ivan for RB, Luis & Ake for LB and JT, Cahill, Zouma and Christensen as the 4 CBs. There's your 8 done and dusted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
