Liverpool’s left-back options if no new player is signed
Jack Robinson – It would probably be too much to ask of the 17 year old to start the match against Sunderland. Although he has looked very promising in matches last season, and in pre-season this campaign, it maybe the case that the opportunity has come too early in Jack’s development. He would certainly be a useful alternative backup to Fabio Aurelio though, and will surely go from strength to strength if he is given 10 odd games this season to impress.
Other options – The only other options would be to go with players such as Danny Wilson and Daniel Agger who have played at left back before. Both however don’t look comfortable when asked to play in the position, and it would be best advised to either go with younger players such as Robinson, Insua, Flanagan or someone who can play full back such as Johnson or Kelly who could do a better job in regards to positioning.

What other alternatives could the Reds look at if no new left back comes in?

insua my option.really like dat dude
my bet is agger if carra and skrtel are fit
@ abids… I think you have been watching the wrong player!! There is a clown who mascerades as LB at Liverpool & wears the shirt. But he is no left back.
Prefer insua
Why not keep Insua for the time being until the next transfer window? Hopefully by then we’ll find a decent replacement
@….philC yes! I believe in him alot.he is my opion
@Moocher let give d little dude a try or john falagan
Insua a complete and utter liability! Johnson did a good job there last season, and should get t the nod for sure! Can you deranged Insua lovers please tell me what he’s ever done in a. Red shirt to warrant a starting place??
i think all the left bks we have not up to it we need world claas left bk
Luis Enrique would be a good fit. I think there will be a move for him before the window closes. Newcastle need to sell him as he won’t sign on however our chances of landing him will depend on Arsenal who can offer Europe. I like Enrique he’s proven in this league and won’t cost too much. I cannot see us spending big on a left back or in other position for that matter.
I am not happy our defence is SHIT ! and we have not got a left back or a decent centre back to many shit midfielders and i am sorry to say kenny but to play pousen and swiss piece of crap on the right is a insult
to the liverpool fans this season is going to be very mediocre at best,the owners have spent peanuts !i dont think they have a pot to piss in.
To the person who likes insua you are either on drugs,
blind,insane,or a man ure fan!
Let Insua stay even if we can get alvaro or enrique just to be a backup, bcos is also a liverpool man of war when there is no option.i luv him
Major mistake not to sign a LB. Aurelio cannot be trusted with his fitness; he’s proven this repeatedly. Agger or Wilson playing out there is a mistake as well. Agger, if fit, must play alongside Carragher. That said, we need another CB as well. If Carra and Skrtel play together, it is a disaster: no speed, no offensive threat, no aerial presence. They are too much alike. Pepe will not be pleased having to keep retrieving balls from the back of his goal. The defense must be improved!!!
Insua cannot defend. I can’t believe Liverpool fans have such short memories, you must be watching highlights cus over 90 minutes this guy gets roasted. People continually slate Lucas and overlook all of Insua’s short comings. The eye of a fan sees what it wants to see.
i will prefer robinson to play in dat position considering d fact dat is guy natural wing and we all saw what he did when he played against arsenal,against d like of walcot he show class but using insua d guy cannot context on high ball and d wing is not for johnson which everyone of us knew dat is just managing to play in dat wing
Aurelio should be sold as soon as possible, he has been a liability for far too long, he is a talented player but injured too often.
Insua is a young and talented player and i would like to keep him as a back up option for a new left back that Liverpool will buy. He has made some defensive mistakes in the past but he is still young and during these pre-season games, he has looked assured in defence and also good going forward and his link up play is really good and he looks stronger than ever and also looks very mature.
As for Robinson, i think he is still too young but he can be third choice leftback or maybe can be also used as winger. Robinson is the most talented of the lot but he still has a long way to go for the first team.
Jimmy how is our defence shit! Skrtel is quality! Carra is quality! The are alike but you ask any Manc or Chelsea fan whether they would have two Terry’s or two Vidic’s in their defence and I bet they say they would. The problem is that we have lack a good proven LB and I agree with you when you say we need to address it quickly! We have Agger who when fit is as good as both Carra and Skrtel. We need Dann then we would have four quality defenders fighting for two places. We have Glen Johnson at right back and for me there ain’t many better in the league and Kelly proved last year he is more than capable of filling in if Johnson gets injured. So with a new LB and Dann I would be very confident in saying we have a very good defence. Would like your opinions on who you’d sign at LB?
