We need defenders who can defend

Maybe I dont understand but looking at the bigger picture we're not that bad....

We have same games lost as Arsenal, same number of goals let in, We have one of the highest number of clean sheets in the prem, and we're 2nd to a noddy team that should start to drop off soon (Jeez I hope so). Everytime we make a mistake the press and tv are all over it, dont believe em.

If anything though, it is our away form that is letting us down, woefully. Just 12 goals away from home! That's worse than all the other top teams, we have drawn or lost the most number of games (Out of the top 7 teams this is) when playing away. But even then the defensive stats for away games shows us better than arsenal, we just dont score :(

Don't believe the media, they have an agenda, they talk shite, and usually it is off the back of some stat about Kompany games with and without bollox.

Strangely though the number of goals we let in at home is a lot more than other teams.

Watch Stones closely. He's an exceptional talent with the ball at his feet for a young defender, yet I actually think he's not a particularly good defender.

I've said the same about Cahill for years; Cahill is actually quite a poor defender.

Its the worst defence we have had in years. We got a rock solid keeper but whats in front of it for the majority of the season has been poor. We cant do the art of defending our players we have there are prone to fucking up and its not as if we spent 30 million plus on some of these defenders. Oh wait we have.

Im all for having a defender who can play the ball out of defence as long as they can defend too. Otamendi for me can play the ball well but his defending can go from brilliant to shambolic at times and its the same with Mangala. As for our fullbacks Kolarov . Clichy and Sagna just cant be relied on to defend and put a shift in. There all good going forward. Our only real defender is Zaba yest he is returning from injury just think a Zabba would help this team out big time. Add in Kompany too and its a solid defence that can do both defend and support the attack.

This season is going to be won on how well we do defensively in the remaining games stay strong we will score goals and keep some clean sheets we will be winning this title. If we continue to defend as we are we will struggle in games and might it tighter to win the title.

Disagree,the defence is so bad because of the midfield.When the midfield actually does it's work for once,look at the difference.

Fully agree. Kompany is a mountain fortress at the back. If only we could get a defender who was half-decent next to him. De Michelis, Savic and Mangala have all been indescribably crap and this has cost City trophies.
