Feel free to put this on the front page because I'm tired of the misconception that we are thrifty at the back. We are far from that, with Dawson in the side we are fucking far from that.
"Oh but we have conceded so few his season" I hear you cry....wrong....WRONG!
The reason we have conceded so few is our style of play. High line, high possession, high up the pitch. Tough for the opposition to score when we're camped in the oppo half. Problem is we have proved we are no barca and have trouble picking our way through a congested pitch to get the ball in a dangerous position.
When we have been exposed we have shown to be shaky and luckily Lloris has bailed us out on several occasions.
So AVBs trying to sort out the attacking problem but as a consequence exposing our week link....Dawson. Giving up a bit of possession means he is facing pacey attackers more and more and his weaknesses are being exposed....brutally.
In my view vlad and Verts should be first choice with Kaboul as back up at centre back and right back and Verts backup for Rose.
Carling and uefa should be:
Noughts right Kaboul daws in the middle and fryers left to give the others a rest.
Feel free to disagree but you will be wrong.
Never forget I have forgotten more about football than you will ever know.
