Defence (specifically back 3)

[Attilio1905]

We were blessed with the foundation of Guehi-Lacroix-Richards and were never going to replace them with similar quality, but to go from that to the utter shambles we have now is totally unacceptable.

Appreciate we still have Richards, but tbh he's very mediocre and only looked good alongside the quality of Guehi and Lacroix.

Canvot is raw and shouldnt be a starter. Lerma a back up at best.
Tomiyasu a crock with zero pace and to rely on a Chelsea loanee that couldnt get anywhere near their first team, and another loanee youngster was never going to be enough.

No quality at all, but even worse than that - and this is where Sage and the coaches have failed - is organising them into any semblance of an effective unit. Average players playing worse than the the sum of the parts.

Needs sorting or else we are in serious danger of going down this season.

Chancer Parish saw he could cash in and thought he could wing it until the January window with a motley bunch of loans, frees, and sick notes. After all, it's always the manager who carries the can!

That should be his name now “Chancer Parish”.

Or maybe “13 years in the f*cking Premier League and counting but still in the eyes of some a chancer Parish”?

So basically we dont have any centre backs that we can confidently rely on ? Pretty much what every other post in 30 pages in the Brighton match thread have been saying .

Besiktas have been free-scoring in some games in the 'Europa League'. They beat Marseille 4-1 at home and last week recorded a 3-2 victory at Hoffenheim.
In their ranks they have erstwhile PL players Leandro Trossard and Wilfred Ndidi.

You wouldn't have needed to watch any to know that to be true , The ? was for your benefit ,in that you have stated the bloody obvious .
