Based on last season and what you’ve seen of the two new CBs, who would be your first-choice CB pairing at this moment in time?
For me, it’s Katić and Edmundson.
I’m not deliberately trying to stir things up, but Goldson might just be our fourth-best centre back.
He’s prone to mess up defensively and quite often gets caught in possession when he’s on the ball – yet he seems to be beyond criticism, whereas Katić does one thing wrong and is bombed out for weeks.
I’ve obviously not seen enough of Helander yet to make an informed judgement.
So, based on current form, I’d be playing Edmundson alongside my first pick, Katić.
Katić is a superb defender – and our biggest goal threat in the air.
I know a lot of people say he’s overrated on FF – I’d counter that by saying it’s actually Goldson who’s overrated.
That said, to have four players of a more than decent standard for CB is a very good problem to have.
