So Otamendi, Sagna, Kolarov, and Clichy have all looked "a complete joke"? I think everyone would agree that we have issues defending, as a team, but your comment is over the topI don't think that's quite true.
I don't think that is necessarily true of a defender. Some mature more than others. At 24 Thiago Silva was back in Brazil after failing to make the grade in Europe at Porto and Dinamo Moscow. Otamendi was back in South America after failing to make the grade in Europe. A defender can look world class in one system and then look a shambles in another. I'd reserve judgement on him until we improve as a unit because let's face it, Kompany aside, our entire backline has looked a complete joke.
