Dreamy, you do realise that Magic is injured and thus unable to play at RB, or anywhere else?
Just checking

Ha ha I mean when he is fit. It seems now that many advocating not playing him at right back as he is a liablity

I don't think he's a liability as a RB, far from it. I believe his defensive lapses are exaggerated. But I think he should be tried at RW, firstly because he can be one of the most devastating players in the Premier League and I'd like to see what he can do there; secondly, because it pushes Dirk into the striking positions where I think he's best, and thirdly because we can hopefully pick up a solid RB fairly cheaply - or even persist with Carragher there and blood in Kelly.

All valid points but if we can replace our 18M RB with a cheap option then we shouldn't have spent 18M on that position in the first place.
