The back 4

Mancini has changed centre back pairing for last 10 straight games now.

We played Lescott/VK in the 4-0 v Villa and 1-0 v Blackpool in December. Since then all change.

Changed the pair of full backs last 6 games. (Kola/Zab in the 4-3 v Wolves, 4-2 v Leicester)

Last time whole back four went unchanged: early Oct (WBA a, MU h). That was: Zabaleta, VK, Kolo, Boateng. That was 21 games ago!

We also played Lescott, VK, Kolo, Richards for SAFC a Blackburn h late Aug/early Sept.

I'm all for rotation and the defence has been better as of late but we need some stability aside from just VK.

Its daft for me, and I've mentioned it a few times, but 2 clean sheets in a row now, so maybe it can work. I doubt it.

All sides need this, but it never happens. I think to much science is taking over footballing confidence in their partners.
