If Zab is injured or suspended
|
Who will step in ? Can see who would . Reid played at right back at the start of his WH career but is still a few weeks away None of our midfield could,maybe Rice at a push but then we lose his qualities in midfield. Cresswell has played there I remember but then that would mean Masuaku playing at left back and a totally one footed player at right back. Ben Johnson is the U23's right back but I'm sure he couldn't step up. Again maybe Oxford could play there or even Josh Pask. We're a bit screwed if Zab is out

Zab would not be able to play all 7 games in December anyway.
Would not be best pleased but can see Antonio ending up there for couple of games.

Johnson is supposed to be quite highly rated, isn't he? Anyone been watching him? I would rather have a rookie specialist than a converted midfielder or whatever. Get Johnson on the bench and bring him on when we're 3-0 up at Newcastle. Easy.

Clyne reportedly available on loan in Jan. I think we should bring him in with an option to buy at the end of the season if he does well.

Am I right in thinking Oxford played a few times at RB in Germany last year?

Evening Standard saying Pellegrini is looking at Victor Moses on loan in January with an option of a permanent contract after this season

Shame that fat useless cunt couldn't get his thick head round the idea of being a full back. Would've been the only way for him to carry on pretending to be a PL footballer.
So is Zaba actually out then ? No Mention of it in today's ES article about our injuries/suspensions.

That's great but we should really be looking to sign a right back in January.

I think he did Exile Would be a great way for the bug sulk to get his way into the first team squad. One would of hoped that Pellegrini is trying out a few options in training as it is he that mentioned Zab won't play all the games in December. We have 3 games in 7 days coming up.

To be honest I would prefer a proper right (& left ) back in a back 4 but guess he is looking at Moses as a wing back Though against some teams he might want to play a back 3 with Rice in the middle
Not Man City hopefully

Some people keep mentioning giving Oxford a chance at right back but is he a better bet than Johnson ?
I also think Pask has probably moved ahead of Oxford in defence

Antonio, especially against a time like Newcastle.

A right back is a must in January. We should look at the young French U21 right back at Dijon, at the top of stats lists playing in a struggling team. Worked with Diop. Short term... no idea.

Re: If Zab is injured or suspended

Well, Pellegrini's mantra thus far has been to make use of the next youth player off the rank so to speak when the squad is short.
I don't know our academy prospects well enough, but hopefully one of them could step up.
Makasi, Pask, Oxford or Johnson?
'Ex' the other day was suggesting Antonio might soon be returning to the role..I certainly hope not as he's about as effective defensively as Masuaku, but with less of the diligence or desire.

Antonio is NOT the answer to the RB position. Cant believe it is even being suggested. It was one of the reasons the guy started to get worse and everybody here wanted him out of RB while screaming for Bilic to open his eyes! Antonio is completely incapable of defending.
