I fear the blend of our defence is wrong and the only parts that seem to fit are Given, Toure and Bridge.
My knee jerk reaction is that we have blown 22m on a bench player and need to buy someone like Upson, Cahill or Hangeland to partner Toure.
For the right back? God alone knows.

That better be a fucking joke.

I hope Hughes will give Kompany a start ahead of Lescott and finds a new Right Back in January.

MRM - Bridge was having a good game BUT you watch the Duff goal again. Bridge makes it to him, then sort of turns sideways into him. If he'd challenged with his right foot he would've blocked the tackle easily. Lescott standing just near couldn't believe it!
No matter how good his overall play he fails on some basic defending.

Lescott won every fuckin header on Sunday AND is calm on the ball.
Dunne was good when we were shite. Get over it!!

And folk who say he was good in a bad team.... then obviously he would have been better in a better team, no?
I wish we had kept him for this season and seen how he dealt with it. I'd be suprised if him an Toure hadn't formed a really top notch defence.

A 50watt bulb in the darkness, shines like a beacon. But a 50watt bulb surrounded by halogen spots does fuck all. Dunnie will son revert to fucking up at villa.
