But no, you have someone like Disasi, the oldest member of that starting 11, goofing up like he did. And Tosin and Colwill are soft CBs. We need at least one player with real steel playing in the backline. It's a shame that our 2 best defenders appear to be made of glass (Fofana, James). Colwill's a good prospect but nowhere near ready to lead the defense, would be awesome to find a Cahill type who can slot into CB and calm them down a bit. I don't really get why we had Gusto and Acheampong on the bench, rather than one of them starting at RB? Disasi reminds me of Bakayoko, just a bang average Monaco player.

Came on a free. I doubt the club went into the season thinking he would start so many games back to back, it was probably Fofana/Badi/Colwill to rotate and Tosin to fill in and play conference league.

Yeah, if the other defenders aren't Disaster (awful), Fofana (perma-crocked), Colwill (young) and Badi (injury prone and very inconsistent), then maybe. With our current set however, he isn't good enough. Reddish-Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, defense is the reason why we're likely to miss top 4 this season. Liverpool/Arsenal are well ahead of us, City will get it together.

bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Fucking disgusting xmas period 1 point from 3 games, I was expecting 7. We’er back to 1 step forward to 2 steps back. Now we’ve got a regular thorn in our side Palace as our next game. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we cannot finish over Nottingham we shouldn't play CL. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
