No Yobocop?

Yobo just misses out, Jagielka and Distin for me.

Yobo would have to miss out, due to him being a right sided CB and competing with Jags, basic football management.

 

[ToxtethBlue]

True, I do like a left sided centre back. It balances the team out well.

But saying that Jagielka can play both sides, he's probably played more as a left centre back than a right centre back because Yobo is always the right centre back.

We've got quite a few lefties now, in the past we only had Lescott in the first team. Distin, Baines, Bilyaletdinov, Jo and Saha.

 

[Goat]

Its not really true to say we only had Lescott and then name 3 other players that we had, just saying really mate.

Lescott was our only left footer in the starting eleven for the majority of the season.

Dont know why I even doubted you, sorry Mr TxB.

Doubting TxB is the 37th wrongest thing you can do on this planet.

I wonder how long Jagielka will take to re-establish himself as first choice - it's a long road back from that injury & I'd expect him to be used quite sparingly at first. I just hope other factors don't necessitate pushing him back too quickly & then risk losing him for even longer.
