I'd stick with barasic as he's still started the season very strongly.Didn't seem to be getting much protection on the left on Saturday. should we play someone left mid and move kent inside to run off the striker? Do we think Gio will aim to stifle the Liverpool fullbacks or try to keep them pushed back?
Throw him in at Anfield?? That would be ballsy beyond belief. Up against Salah and Trent (if he starts)…would be a big gamble.I'd stick with barasic as he's still started the season very strongly.
But if we do want it to change it, we have an expensive young left back who's yet to get his opportunity to show us what he's capable of. Give Yilmaz a go.
I would be more worried about Tav, he doesn’t look fit.Didn't seem to be getting much protection on the left on Saturday. should we play someone left mid and move kent inside to run off the striker? Do we think Gio will aim to stifle the Liverpool fullbacks or try to keep them pushed back?
Apologies I didn't maks it clear considering the OP was talking about anfield.Throw him in at Anfield?? That would be ballsy beyond belief. Up against Salah and Trent (if he starts)…would be a big gamble.
Wasn't suggesting he doesn't start, just that he wasn't getting any helpI'd stick with barasic as he's still started the season very strongly.

Bassey looked like a deer caught in the headlights against Liverpool with Ajax could also be down to playing in a position he's much weaker in.He seems to have a bit on confidence back, yes he aint no Bassey but he isnt a £25m rated player is he.
Got to love Borna when he is playing with belief.
Yeah, I've replied to a comment elsewhere in the thread, misunderstanding by me.Wasn't suggesting he doesn't start, just that he wasn't getting any help
Its MDingwall not mdingwall.It's Borna not borna.
Its not how Gio wants Kent to playThat’s Kent’s job. How many times did there Right back go down the wing first 15 mins kent jogging back. way off form. We know Barasic not best defender doesn’t help when not getting back up.
I think we will play 3/5 at the back and therefore more protection in theory. Depends how Gio wants to set up against their 3 forwards and full backs that will bomb forward at all times.
And won’t happenThrow him in at Anfield?? That would be ballsy beyond belief. Up against Salah and Trent (if he starts)…would be a big gamble.
Interesting!Did somebody pull down his shorts?
Borna on what we’ve seen so far is by far the best option at left backBorna has been fine, but against the tims at parkhead , his bottle goes.
Ridvan needs appearances.
I agree - am not really seeing it either.I keep seeing that Ridvan has been kept out of the team because of the performances of Borna, but I'm yet to see it.
He hasn't had some sort of upturn in form, or became amazing again, his crossings is pinpoint as per, but defensively I've not noticed a difference.
Barisic still runs away from his man and let's him get closer and closer into the box and then turns his back on them.
Good going forward though.
It's Mdungwall not Mdingwall.Its MDingwall not mdingwall.
I seriously hope not after his Cameo against NapoliIt’s debatable whether it’s the right decision but I think Kamara will come in and play in front of Borna at Anfield.
There’s no way Borna won’t start at left-back. Surely folk are not suggesting otherwise?
Borna/Kent combo on the left has brought us a lot of success.He's playing well and is one of our best performers this year - but he doesnt have the physical attributes of Bassey. Most teams will test us down the left so Kent has to work his socks off.
There has always been a disconnect between these two players, neither seems to complement the other's play imo.It’s Kent’s fault not Borna’s

You want banned.It's Mdungwall not Mdingwall.
Maybe Borna is upped his game due to the competition , but we cant have players who bottle it at parkhead.Borna on what we’ve seen so far is by far the best option at left back
Indeed if Ridvan hadn’t come with such a big reputation and transfer fee he’d never be mentioned
That’s not to say he can’t emerge and be a better left back than Borna but we’ve seen nothing yet in the short time he’s been here
He will surely get more opportunities soon but not against Liverpool imo
