Neuer
Zabs
Kompany
Hummels (His reading of the game is one of his main strengths, often frustrating his opponents with his well-timed interceptions and long passing capability)
Baines
He was never me,me,me but always you,you,you

My concerns for Vinnie are growing by the week, can our back 4 really be moulded around him when he is out for such long periods in the season?

I think we should be looking for a long term stand in for him and another rear position in January, sort out our defence and we really can take on the world!

Imagine how far ahead we would be now if we hadn't of had our defence blunders!

I think you're being a bit unfair on Savic, Frontzek Charvet & Immel there.

Re the op:

Zabaleta---Kompany---Pepe----Coentrao

I think that is the best back 4 we could get, made from players I've personally seen over the last two seasons, but Vinny's injuries & Zabba's recent shiteness make even that a risk.

It would win the Prem easily though imo, but still if we played that back 4 with only Yaya & Fernandinho in front of it, vs a 6 man Bayern Munich midfield , we could play 100 times & would still lose 95.

Is it a realistic back four we can get or favorite in the world? Coentrao prob best available left back but no where near top drawer for me.

wouldn't mind a back four of:

Arbeloa Abidal Alaba Alba

that would fuck that Alan Green right up

BTW, we used to have one of these

and it was woody rather than tinny

Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.
