Centre back options

No I watched when we were bossing games & someone lumps the ball out of defence into our half & some useless **** falls over & it's suddenly a problem, when it was previously an easy game, we were going to win sooner or later, comfortably.

Or some fucking tithead passes the fucking ball to the oppo with 5 mins to go, again, in a game we are winning comfortably. Or some stupid twat leaves his man completely unmarked for a free header, again when we were comfortable.

Over & over & over & over again.

Everyone can see it happening, utter fucking incompetence. Even in games we won, it was often there & the opponent missed at a key time, so we cruised to victory rather than collapsing like a house of fucking cards. On another day, they score, our arses go & a simple stroll becomes a battle.

You don't win titles defending like wankers, even if you score 100s of goals. We almost lost both our recent titles due to the 3rd & 4th defenders being shite & had to pull it out of the bag.

Last season our 1st & 2nd defenders were often shite.

Pep is gambilng on Kompany staying fit & the keeper plus fullbacks helping the cbs to improve.

So far Vinny is struggling on the right & Otamendi has already made about 6 fuckups which could have resulted in goals. The keeper has saved a 1v1, from a simple piss easy, obvious, straight pass, in every game.

The centre of defence could & should be miles better for a team with our aspirations.

Stands up and applauds ;)

Well said.

I dont know whether my spidey senses are off or not but, after reading your posts on various threads I get the feeling you`re not happy.

I'm not happy about the cb situation at all. It's stupid.

Otherwise I'd be delighted to close the transfer window today.

I`m not delighted about the c/back situation either.

I`d also have liked to see some of our academy players introduced but realise the last couple of years we have had little chance to do this because of the dire problems in defence and defencive mid and the shortage of real quality coming through the youth ranks. Only now do I believe we are producing kids of the right quality, mostly just turning 18.
 
I think we need a competant CB, not a world-beater. I'm on the fence about Stones but he needs to be given a bit of breathing room if he is to develop.

Anyone floated Mauricio Lemos? El Magico's mention of Las Palmas bought him to mind. I seem to remember he was linked with Barca, and he has a reasonable release clause. 21 yo Argentinian, right footed, definitely got the footballing skills. Could easily be the next David Luiz, for better or for worse!
 
Would prefer another cb but not to fused as long as keep tosin and we could always use fernandinho in a back 3 or move back to a back 4 if we have injuries. Keeping Vinny fit is the key

Agree. It's absolutely ludicrous going into the season with Kompany, Stones, Otamendi and Tosin.

We need another top class CB else the same deficiencies will show.

Agreed. Kompany gets injured and we have Stones and Otamendi playing 3 games a week. Not ideal if we actually want to win anything.
