Both awful. Cant defend and offer nothing going forward. Engel is so wasteful re his passing.
We defend better with McGree and Forss in the wide positionsIf your wide midfield players simply don’t track back and think about defending now and again the full backs, as they are time and time again, are being left completely exposed. You could stick Trippier, Kyle Walker, TAA - whoever you like at full back for the Boro - they can’t do it on their own and even they would struggle playing behind these two.
He's barely ever been fit under Carrick, that's why he's never established himself. Plus he's not actually that solid at right back, he was better on the right of a 3. VDB had done fine generally but is limited going fowatd. Im sure Dijksteel will get his chanceVDB'S been decent overall, especially considering his age, but Dijksteel is a specialist right back and was impressive on Tuesday night, looked sharp and dangerous going forward. Deserves a start but Carrick really doesn't seem to like him for some reason. Was surprised Rodgers didn't get a start also, as has likewise been outstanding from the bench.

Hes not a full back. And doesn’t play full back anyway.. he plays in a 3 when we go forward dijkstel can't do that . My godI can not for the life of me see how RVDB is a better full back than Dijksteel. If he plays against Leicester he will get murdered.
