Yobo

Dom1878 · October 5, 2008

Does he deserve to be sat on the bench?

Im not sure, for me he hasnt done that much wrong this season, and i always thought Moyes liked him - and normally he plays the guys he likes. Id like him in the starting 11 again, but looking at today, lescott, jagielka and Baines all did well, so whats gona happen then?! :unsure:

Is this because of form, or that continuing injury?

the defense has been played with quite a bit, i would like to see one last combination tried before completely dropping him, with possibly yobo and lescott paired at CB with jags at RB????

Still think the 5 at the back would be the best...its never been tried either...

Yobo - Jagielka - Lescott
Neville - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Baines

Because of mistakes against Liege and Liverpool probably. Lescott and Baines have both been dropped, I'm guessing Yobo was next.

No combination has looked good so far, even today we didn't look comfortable.

The more Baines gets a good run of games, he looks good.

Lescott sems more comforable with Jags next to him.

Jags doesnt seem to be chasing Yobo's [Poor language removed] ups all the time.

Everyone of them hates Tony Hibbert!

Probably not bad for Yobo to get a bit of a rest.

I like Yobo, I think he's our best defender but our defence has looked [Poor language removed] this season so I don't think any 1 of them could complain if they were dropped

I agree, techincally he's be best defender we have, he's fast, he's composed and he can tackle. His main problem is with concentration, always has been and every time he looks like he's conquered that problem he gives us another glaring example thats its still there.

But I'd chose Yobo over Lescott who is quite frankly quite [Poor language removed] right now and seems to be shitting himself any time the ball comes for him. Yeserday when Baines cleared off the line, Lescott was beaten cos he didnt think fast enough and was left for dead.

Hes has more quality then Jags and personally id have him in there ahead of him but on form its the right decison Jags can only loose his shirt and he hasnt up untill this point so its only fair.

Jags reminds me of Waggy or Gough!

That,s a big NO

Adamefc1 · October 6, 2008

Id say that Jags has been our best defender so far this season.

I agree with 5 at the back and go with this team when all available

Howard

Yobo Jags Lescott
Neville Baines

If thats true then Moyes seems to be falling out with a lot of players lately

To be fair, if he's fell out with Moyes its probably down to Moyes telling him how it is and Yobo not taking it.

Seems to be happening a lot. Moyes supposed to fell out with Vaughan because Moyes said to him to calm down on the field and Vaughan had a whinge.

Maybe Moyes is going back to his hard-arse self rather than, like he says, his "mellowed out" ways the past 2 seasons.

Can we assume he fell out with Castillo as well?

Wonder what Neville would have to do to fall out with him.
