I realise we have a lot of central defenders but given every cross that comes into our box looks like it will result in a goal, at least he's about to head the ball. Would free up Ajayi (or even Ivanovic) to play defensive midfield.
I like that idea. Smalling and Ivanovic or Kiprè in the centre of the defence and Ajayi playing in front of them as the 6. That would free up Livermore to play further forward as an 8, like he did after Field came on, and Krovinovic playing as an 8.5 next to him.
Stumbling block could be wages.
