Exactly, we've got no choice. Lovren clearly isn't the answer either though, so we may aswell pose a question with Ilori, or whoever.

New CB needed in Jan then. Can't go on with lovern and toure in reserve. Not a coincidence that we lost once lovern came on yesterday Throw in a new keeper also
That's a bit selective - in fact we were losing 1-0 when Sakho came off, and equalized shortly after Lovren came on - is that a coincidence?
Yep. Lovern is pants we all know it. I'd rather play toure than him I think.
Sakho scan results revealed: Liverpool FC defender facing period on sidelines
Mamadou Sakho has been told he hasn't suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury – but the Liverpool defender is still facing a spell on the sidelines.
A scan on Monday afternoon eased fears that the France international's season could be over after he limped out of Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace at Anfield.
However, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has yet to discover exactly how long he will be without the in-form centre-back.
That will become clearer on Tuesday when Sakho sees a consultant on Merseyside who will diagnose the full extent of the injury and determine how best to treat it.
While Sakho hasn't ruptured his ACL, the scan did show up some damage to the joint in his right knee. Klopp will be desperately hoping that surgery isn't required.
Sakho, who landed awkwardly in the first half following an aerial challenge with Palace's Yannick Bolasie, has had to drop out of the France squad for their internationals against Germany and England.
Jordon Ibe was also hurt in the defeat to Palace but a scan has revealed that he only suffered bruising to his knee following a collision.
The teenage winger won't travel to Bosnia for England Under-21s' Euro 2017 qualifier on Thursday.
However, Ibe is expected to be fit for Liverpool's next Premier League game against Manchester City at the Etihad on November 21.

Great. Lovren and Skrtel it is then.
Poor Klopp has not had much luck on the injury front.
Could have been much much worse though.
Thought it was definetly more serious.
Awful losing him though. Our injury list is insane at the moment.
If Gerrard comes back as any emergency cover it should be as a striker. Not that I'm advocating that but bringing him back to 'help' our defence based on the last couple of seasons would be crazy.
Massive blow both for him and for us.
Kolo! Kolo kolo!
Ah, 6-8 weeks, the pat response recovery time for a nameless injury. It's nice to see the classics still have a place.
Why ? Sahko should be back by then.
Even so, I think we need a good CB in January. I don't trust either Lovren or Toure and Sakho is injury-prone, unfortunately.
Sakho was pretty important in us playing well recently, and we clearly missed him as soon as Lovren came on the pitch. This isn't a slight against Lovren, who didn't really do anything wrong, but Sakho is just much better with the ball, and his passing helped us control the game.
If he could stay injury free, he'd be such an incredible defender.
