Did anyone ask him about not signing any LB cover? Or why he doesn't play his specialist RB cover?Think Ange has pretty much ruled out signing a CB in yesterdays press conference, it's either bring Phillips back or wait for the injured players to return.
Could you have signed more centre-back cover at the start of the season and does it need addressing?
Look, I could have had six centre-backs but name me one club that has six centre-backs and has enough depth. It is impossible. I know people say you should have signed one. But how many centre-backs can I have? The reality of it is if all of them are fit and three aren’t going to play and you just have them on your roster. Every club goes into a season with three or maybe four centre-back which we did this year and unfortunately for us three of those four are injured.
I’ve seen clubs lose one centre-back and people call it an injury-crisis and it is because your centre-back pairing is crucial. In the top teams, your pairing is a constant and teams that don’t have those constants you really struggle even when you miss one. We are missing three. Of course, it is going to affect us and our ability to play the way we want to. You can’t have six centre-backs in a Premier League squad of 25.
I'd leave the young fella,where he is this,season
