The Centre Half Dilemma?
Katic, Goldson, Helander and Edmundson
4 into 2 doesn't go.
We all have our favourites or our preferred options.
Or even our perceived injustices of why someone shouldn't be dropped.
But is it that easy?
Is it all about form? Should sentiment come into it?
In my opinion if you've done nothing wrong and currently wear the jersey then it's yours to lose.
But it's not that easy - plus I'm not the manager.
If we go back to last season, Goldson was the rock in our ever changing back 4.
Plus we were all crying out for additional CH's in the summer.
We splashed the cash on 2 and what happens?
Suddenly Katic rises to the challenge and becomes a force at the back.
He's still erratic and naïve at times.
Goldson has a wee dip in form though is still dependable.
Others can't see past his mistake against Celtic.
This is the dilemma for Gerrard.
After buying Helander, it would have been the easy choice to pair him with Goldson.
With Katic or Edmundson as alternative backup.
But Katic with his blood and thunder displays and early season form has made him a fans favourite.
I would have given Goldson a wee rest.
Paired Katic with Helander and see how that goes.
But long term the manager sees Goldson and Helander as his first choice pairing.
And I don't disagree with that.
But right now?
I wouldn't like to be in Gerrard's shoes!

A fair assessment of the situation, in SG I trust, so whatever he decides is good with me.

Katich, Goldson and this Hellander bhoy are average at best.

@hopenothate - at least we didn’t pay £10 million for defensive donkeys that couldn’t be trusted in your clubs biggest game of the season and ended up costing you lot £30 million + in CL money. 😭😭😭😭
And Boli still can’t be trusted that you had be panic buy another left back for £2.5 million! 😂😂😂😂
And the unknown, overpriced Frenchman is turning into a sicknote, complaining of an injury after every game! 😷.

the season is a long one, I think all 4 will play they're part.

Totally agree mr grumpy. We have injuries and suspensions to contend with. Competition normally makes for better players.
