Only positives from the last two games for me is Christensen, he is easily our best defender he just need a solid partner and leader beside him a Koulibaly kind of player. James has that rib spot locked down. RLC (hopefully if he returns to his best) and Pulisic for me too seem like with a little bit of time would be top players. Kante has to stay for me, CHO has shown he could be a top player as well. Tammy has been impressive but I’m not sure if he could lead a title charge like Didier or Costa.

I almost agree with everything you’ve posted ELI.

I agree I think it’s either Christensen or Tomori but we need that quality centre back next to them for one of them to grow. Look how good Gomez and Matip play with Van Dijk. The question is who is that centre half for us?

What's people's thoughts on Mings at Villa? Definitely a leader, but I haven't watched him enough to say if he'd be technically good enough.

Got a good left peg but would cost a chunk of change. Is he any better than Ake?

He’s a left footed CB J and good aerially spring I think he could be a shrewd buy. But we shouldn’t be paying anything over £40 million for him.

More of a vocal leader than Ake imo. Something we desperately need.

Tbh all of our CB's have been guilty of making mistakes. Zouma is probably the best of the bunch for me and he isn't exactly setting the league on fire. Unfortunately all of them are inconsistent. Maybe with time they improve given that they are young. But we definitely need a top draw CB.
More importantly we need to address our attacking threat (threat if you can call it that) . We have hard workers like Willian, Mount, Kovacic and Abraham et al in the team, however hardwork is of no use when we are so poor in the final third. Look at how many goals are scored from wide players such as Sterling, Mahrez, Son, Mane, Salah, Rashford etc.
I echo Lampard, we may need short term fix for now.

You could be right Shak.
Wouldn’t it be lovely to see our attacking midfielders get beyond Tammy in a match. They are always playing in front of any defence.
