In Part II of this series we dig through Aston Villa’s choices at left back for the upcoming season in the Championship. Part I covered the goalkeeping situation.

Last season’s Aston Villa squad offered very little in solid performances. One such position that was markedly less horrible than the others is the left fullback.

Jordan Amavi, Aly Cissokho, and Kieran Richardson all made starts at left back over the course of the season with varying degrees of success. As a whole, the collective group performed decently in a contrast of different play styles.

Two thirds of this crew will continue to man the position this coming year–as well as the addition of a very interesting player who plied his trade on loan last season.

Next: Jordan Amavi
