There is a god Barry's gone!!!
Dunnes needs a proper defender beside him in the middle of the defence. The best option for that role has to be Mat Upson from West Ham put in a bid and get him into the team asap. Look at how well he is playing at the moment he is a leader in the Hammers team which we could do with in our team. He didn't look out of place in the last England match beside Terry this is our best chance to get him as well. They are fucked looking for money so we could get him for under 10 million which would be a bargain a better option than Toure of Arsenal. Get him in move Richards to the bench make him rethink were he is even give him another go at right back. He played so well at right back he ended up getting all his England caps there so for him to learn how to play the role of defender he may have to be moved elsewhere.
 
we need a new defence.waste of time spending big money on strikers spend it were its needed.
 
A central defence of Dunne and Upson would be screwed against a team with nippy strikers.

Just seen the game again, all 3 goals were individual mistakes.

1 - Richards header, no one near him so could have left it go out for a goal kick.
2 - Zabaleta trying to take a player on 20 yards from his own goal.
3 - Hamann throw in straight to their striker.

Money talks tho and the paedo hasn't got any to spend to I am sure we can pursuade him to sell Toure, I'd be happy with him ;o)

Think he would be a quality signing.... can play in defence and midfield.... but probably just defence for us.

We have scored more goals than virtually anyone else in the premier league.It is the midfield and defence that is letting us down.I just cannot believe that a pro like Dunne who gave us his all for the past number of years has gone to pot.yet he does seem a little heavier, a bit laboured.When you have a new baby in the family you can be knackered all the time and he is not getting any younger either. Nevertheless if he were shielded by better left and right backs etc he would be better.John Terry is good because Ashley Cole et. al. are good and are a unit. So at least Hughes has seen that he needs a left back at least . But has he the vision to see that we need a right back etc etc.?I do not believe he has the capability.
 
I think if we do get a good centre half beside Dunne you could always move some of the players around. I would love to see Richards playing at right back again I think this is his best place to play for the moment in time. He got into the England squad while playing there since he has moved central he has been hit and miss for most of his time.

Move Zab into the midfield he will add a bit of steel into the midfield alongside Kompany who needs to show more than what he is doing and winning the midfield battle maybe he needs more help in there my ideal line up for what it is worth.

Hart
Bridge Dunne Upson / Toure Richards
Petrov/Robhino Zab Kompany Ireland SWP
Santa Cruz / Sturridge / Poldolski

It would be a good team Robhino given a free role to help the striker Ireland and Swp breaking from midfield whenever they can. But it is about what players we get in.

the sooner we're able to ditch Richards the sooner everybody can resort to just doing their own job.
 
We need new center backs and a right back, zabs becoming more of a bodger in the RB positon as the weeks pass by
 
Some of these young lads like Hart and Richards, aren't experienced enough to play every single game yet. Unfortunately we don't have the squad to take them out of the firing line when the teams not playing well to give them a rest. Hopefully soon we'll have a new experienced goalkeeper Given, centre back Toure, Centre midfielder Senna and centre forward Santa Cruz.
