They are just getting abused. And the opposition player, pretty much do whatever he wants. Coates and Wisdom, might actually be better proposition against Teams like Everton, Stokes, West Ham and Villa. Not only that, we need Proper Midfielders against those team. Midfielders that are willing to cover lots of ground, to initiate offense and help in defense too. So that means either no Gerrard and Shelvey or just one of them. We can't afford both.http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=82388086&postcount=9115

Raif Severance wrote: Oh Boy, where to start? Ok, let's go with the most obvious, Our Defense. I hate to say it, but our Defense is so ****ty, it can be barely called one. We go to panic attacks when we are pressed. And you know what? All the Prem Teams knows this. Not to mention, we are also very susceptible to long balls and counterattacks, which makes playing against us, very easy to do and plan. I love Skrtel and Agger, but I don't think the new system suits them. I wasn't a member back then, but once Man City made a decent offer for Agger, I was of the mind to sell him. In our old one, whatever individual deficiencies our CBs have can be masked. Because they were afforded protection in our compact play. Not in our new system though. In our new system, we use the width of the pitch and try to stretch teams and to find the gaps within the spaces. We also make full use of our fullbacks as another attacking outlet, thereby leaving our CBs and our DM as our only defensive shield against our opponent's counterattack. If our last 3 can't contain the initial thrust or blunt them long enough to allow our other players to scramble back and help, then we're screwed. I don't have to tell you how often this has happen to us. Yeah, it isn't pretty. If the Owners are still keen on playing this system, then we definitely need a new CB. We need someone good in the air, comfortable on the ball, and can pass with composure. Most importantly, we need someone Strong enough not to wilt like a Shy Maiden against the Bentekes, Jones, and Coles of the World.http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=82387750&postcount=9096

Unfortunately, we play 4-3-3 and Rodgers likes a High Line, that means Mobility is a Premium. Heck, you've already seen the struggles Agger and Skrtel playing it, what more with a Player with Limited Speed like Coates? The only way I can see us incorporating Coates, is if we play 3-5-3, and he plays the Middle. Which basically makes him a Situational Player, and probably 4th Choice CB. I don't think he'd be happy with that. Sadly, I don't think he has a Future here. He'd be better off back in South America or playing in Italy.http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=82515101&postcount=1843

They look extremely light in terms of numbers and there is a lack of quality in certain areas of their squad, last season we had a terrible start and it took 4 months before we recovered. It is not inconceivable that Arsenal could suffer the same fate
