Defensively they are terrible. that Mori is terrible and whilst Stones is excellent on the ball, he's still not that great of a defender. Coleman and Baines strengths are in attack and I think it's the young kid Galloway who plays left back for them now and he was terrible against Stoke too. Oh, and Tim Howard is nothing short of abysmal now. I don't know why they persist with Gareth Barry... it's almost 2016 ffs
If we can remain resolute and defend like we have in most games this year, we should be able to see this game out. Son deserves a start and if Dembele isn't fit I wouldn't mind seeing Mason given a chance. Carroll has been ok recently but he's nothing special.. compare with what Bentaleb and Mason did when they broke into the team, there's a difference in quality about them. Don't think we'll go 3-4-2-1 again so I'd like to see Walker and Davies return too
Stones has definite potential but has a lot to learn, typified by that ridiculous challenge which led to the penalty!
Led with the wrong foot FFS!
