Mings, Konsa and Hause are a car crash set of defenders.We're now down to just Chambers who is any good.If we don't get another centre half in we'll concede so many goals.Worried for us if truth be told.
Could this be the opportunity for Feeney to step up to the regular squad?He looked calm, assured and comfortable on the ball in pre-season.I know it may be a little early, but sometimes a young player thrives on an unexpected opportunity.2 from 5. Mings, Konsa, Hause, Chambers, Feeney

The only 'positive' is that the window is still open. Hopefully a replacement can be found. Let's hope it doesn't come at the expense of any other targets.And that's the point. Our defensive cover is still good enough imo so it shouldn't detract from any other targets. The only transfer decision to make now is not letting Hause go.I don't agree with this. Gerrard obviously wasn't happy with the three options we had, otherwise he wouldn't have spent that much on Carlos. Konsa was mostly shit last year, and he was shit against Bournemouth.

I didnt see what happened, but it seems the injury event was rather innocuous. This is a 29 year old player who has played in the top leagues without apparent problem for a number of years. Together with our recent injury history, this does start to raise nagging doubts re our training regimes.
We should keep Hause for another season and stick with what we've got. A Konsa of two seasons ago is more than good enough and Chambers looks very good as well. With Kamara in midfield this should be enough, although if he gets injured we're fucked.
