But it's only now working with our most experienced Senior defensive player sitting right in front of them.The young defence is working fine with Skrtel there instead though. I think Rurik is only suggesting Lovren plays there if he sorts himself out and proves he's better than Skrtel, so it should be fine. Further, both Sakho and Lovren/Skrtel are fully fledged internationals, so whilst it's young, it's got plenty of experience.
Before then it didn't.
I've always hated playing young defenders together, centre backs especially, a CB rarely comes into his own until he's older.
Having an entire defence made of youngsters is an issue imo.
