I think a team like Liverpool that will push up will need someone who is far better on the ball than Guehi
He’s the type of player who you a top team might bring on as a sub when defending a lead. Liverpool’s problem is more than just centre backs anyway, whilst I despair about us having no wing backs…both Kerkez and Frimpong look excellent going forward but also look clumsy defensively and in front of the centre halves the only protection they have is Gravenberch (who I think is a fairly decent player) but he’s currently injured.
It’s not just missing one or two players, it’s a case of being far too open to not get punished. Bournemouth were quite wasteful given the chances Liverpool coughed up, Semenyo is a very good player and maybe if we are after an upgrade on the left we should go for him rather than Eze (who for me was more of an option in the centre)
They are formidable going forward of course but they are far too top heavy
I don’t think the defenders I picked are that eclectic. There’s no question that Van der Ven makes Spurs look better defensively, Konza is quick and good on the ball, Burn is excellent defending set pieces and Diaz is the best defender City have imo.
Botman would be another one, but like all Dutch players he’s a dirty sod
