Imagine getting rid of two fullbacks capable of playing LB, not bringing anyone and relying upon a player notoriously injury prone. Granted no backup is better than Kolasinac but at that point you either have to keep AMN at any cost or bring in someone preferably a pure left footed LB considering one is apparently vital to our chance creation.
Now we've got two fit FBs both capable of high profile errors. Bit a mess you've got to say but will this club this negligence isn't unexpected. But doesn't make it any less laughable.
It's like that saying, anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and we took a massive gamble relying on the unreliable in an injury prone Tierney and two mediocre right backs.
Tierney being injury prone is a myth,
15/16 - 33 appearances
16/17 - 40 appearances
17/18 - 55 appearances
18/19 - 40 appearances
19/20 - 25 appearances
20/21 - 24 appearances
You don't make 217 first team appearances by the age of 23 if you are the injury prone crock that he is made out to be.
This season he has 24 appearances, to put that in context Xhaka has the most of any outfield player with 26.
