Or are we going as is with Flanagan as 1st choice?
I really feel a genuine left back is a missing piece for us

I think since late April we've won every game that Flanagan has started at left back.
If Barasic can be sold . We can’t buy another and have four left backs on the payroll , it’s madness .
I understand fans want sure things and folk have their ideal 11s in their heads but from Gerrard's point of view he's watching the team control and win the game with Flanagan in at left back.he offers security in defence for sure. I suppose if Kent comes back then he wont be needing to get forward a lot
So should we not buy any new players till we sell a left back? The costs to the club are the same and LB is the one area where we badly need a new player.

It's all about balance. Aribo goes forward a lot more and Ojo doesn't track back at all.
Folk have got it in their heads now though, even the slightest error from Flanagan and people are exaggerating it 10-fold.
Just speculating, but I wonder if the likes of Zagreb get to the CL Group stages they might come in for Borna. They are the only club in his home land who cou afford him.
Cheers for the insight I wasn't aware of that.He's been to them already and flopped, that was his first big move and he was back at Osijek soon after.
Looks like he just can't handle expectations of a higher level
Yet plays for Croatia ?He's been to them already and flopped, that was his first big move and he was back at Osijek soon after.

Will someone buy or loan Barasic?
Flanagan's a right back and Halliday's a midfielder; we only have one left back at the minute.
I think against the poorer teams in the league we might see Barker play left wing-back...I do feel it could be our achilles heel at the moment. We should have a left footed left back capable of bombing up and down that wing and getting balls in the box, especially in the 4-3-2-1 where we have our attacking mids tucking in. We basically need the player Barisic was supposed to be.
While I broadly agree with this, I also think Flanagan has a mistake in him. He's given away 2 soft goals in the matches he's played this season. They haven't really cost us so far, but I think its position we could do with getting someone better in.I actually think Flanagan is a steady eddy, he's a better player than Barasic and Halliday by a distance.
We should be trying to sell Barasic and bring in a replacement. I quite like Flanagan but I’d prefer a natural left back in there.Or are we going as is with Flanagan as 1st choice?
