Ireland a right back yeh?


Obviously not, but out of all the academy products you could keep it looks like Richards is the one who will stay, why? What improvement has he made in the last couple of years please let me know because I think he's gone backwards! He still hasn't learnt how to play at full back and if you watch the NY Red Bulls highlights(i think or Dortmund) Boateng plays at right back and crosses a lovely ball into the box, something Micah hasn't done once whilst playing at fullback so why is he still on the pitch?

Kompany, Ned, Zabba, Boateng can all play right back and IMO are all better than Richards!

I don't think Micah would get in to Blackpool's starting eleven nevermind ours - total liability!

What progress had Ned made? When will Mad Zab play a match without getting caught out of position of come away without a booking? When has Kompany played right back?

Agree about Boateng though.

I bet Kolo could do a good job at rightback.

Well earned point - some good performances and a couple of crap ones.

I can't quite descripe how happy I am with this point. Bad bad first half. Bit better in second. Lot of room for improvement. But yeah, two points of direct competitor away. Got to be happy.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Ned has improved his positional play and distribution(still not fantastic at passing) from the back and although a centre back is still more reliable at right back than Richards. He also uses the ball unlike Micah when he gets in the opponents half.

Mad Zabba is a defensive midfield player but knows what you have to do to play fullback, mark the player who comes into the space don't just follow the ball or ball watch MICAH.

Kompany is a versatile player who can pass, tackle and head and if needed could play right back I think the last time he played there was in Europe. Like the other two he also knows the difference between playing centre back and full back!

Great defensive display today and would have took 0-0 before KO. Joe Hart, Kompany, K Toure and De Jong deserve mention.
