Just had this silly idea (or maybe not) but what if we tried Azplicueta next to THIAGO Silva as other CB partnership? Guy has discipline the only problem is his lack of height but our Captain can definitely defend.

In a three maybe but we aren't the tallest team already and Kurt is easily our most powerful header of the ball as the stats regularly prove.
We desperately need to sign a dominant and experienced CB as Tiago contribution has shown.

I think lack of height would be an issue Lrdit though we know Dave can perform well in a back 3 and would do his best if emergency required. Problem is that not much height through most of the outfield players and esp. if Werner playing and OG/ Tammy are not, so defending set pieces and controlling box (even if Mendy obviously has helped here already a great deal) already not a strong point could be made more difficult. WE need a combination of Zouma's physical height/ presence/ heading ability and Dave's greater ball skills!

Not a tall enough team for that. I’d like to see the back four stay the same but try Christensen as a DM. He’d give us some much needed height and defensive ability there and his passing is good enough also.

I still feel language is a problem, and with Mendy, Silva, Zouma and Azpi (all french speaking) we have a base in our defence, Chillwell is just a class above what we had and will fill the void on the left. Given time ( not too much lol) I still think our defence will come good and therefore let our attack develop into what we all wish for. Can't wait for Gilmour to be back (energy, athleticism and a proper dm) to make it all tick and to offer another alternative.

Huge turnaround in playing staff this year ( and injuries) which will take time to "gel" so I still feel we all need to be a little patient but I have the feeling that as the season progresses we will get better and better and better. I only see things improving if we fans just show a little patience. As I said in another post, it's not how you start the season, it's how you end it. I'm thinking we'll end it much better than most of us hoped.
