How to turn your player of the season into a liability in one easy move...

Play your first choice left back at right back and sit back and watch the fun. HR surely can't risk Assou-Ekotto at right back again can he?

 

I thought about that, a choice between a top class LB and dodgy RB against a dodgy LB and a dodgy RB, Redknapp goes with the latter.

It just shows how little he trusts Traore or indeed Harriman at RB.

 

Isn't Luke "sicknote" Young available?

 

Couldn't make as he had a doctors appointment!

 

Have to agree. Weakened the team in two areas rather than one. The fact that Luke Young can't be called upon is a sick joke.

 

Was BAE that bad then?

 

No, not really. He didn't look as comfortable as usual though.
Sorry if that is not headline news!

 

What's the problem with him playing right back then? The OP suggests he was a liability.

 

Its turned a class act into someone who performed worse than Traore but I dont blame the player, he took one for the team.

 

If you'd seen Harriman at Brentford last week you wouldn't trust him either...

 

I like Traore, but he's far too one-footed to play on the right.

O'Neill could fill in at RB imo.

 

I was half expecting SWP to play at right back, allbeit more as a wing back... He does get forward and back, and he's got pace enough to worry most left sided players about bombing too far forward.

 

Problem is, he can "bomb" back and forwards all day long, but delivery ???? Always been his weak point

 

BAE is also very one footed which is why he wasnt very good there.

my mate said that on the way up, we've seen mackie do really well there and also Rowlands many years ago.
