Jagielka at Right back?

[Hibbosculturedrightboot]

no. it's not his position. He will have to sit on the bench and wait for his chance again. Johnny and Distin have been immense, we are 9 unbeaten so no need to change things

This. Its a squad game. He's gotta take his turn...

I you were to move someone to right back to accommodate Jagielka I would put Heitinga there as he can actually play there.

Why change a winning team? As long as he doesn't put in Hibbert at Right back and move Neville into Centre Midfield which he tends to do sometimes. This could be a great week for the Club.

I think Hibbert will come in at RB for the Liverpool game and Neville will drop to the bench rested for the FA cup game.

I can't believe the mad panic about the CB issue. Jags has been injured, the others have played well. Jags has to wait for a chance again. Both heitinga and Distin have had spells on the bench this year and I'm sure they will again.. Injuries/suspensions/rotation.

It's a good problem we have!!

3-5-2...

Have often thought we have the players for it, but come on, these highly paid professionals couldn't possibly cope with having to know their roles in 2 different formations. Flexibility and adaptability haven't really been watch words of the team in recent seasons.

Oh, Jagielka at right back - a thousand times no.

I was only joking like, it'd never happen. I think the bulk of the burden though falls on the back three - who need to know their stuff.

 

[MoreCows]

Jags is still our best centre back

It indeed would never happen.

I think we do have some very good defenders who, with the correct coaching, could play in other formations.

Why would you like to see 5 at the back, are we attacking too much ?

tbf, 5-3-2 or 5-4-1 in defense can change to 3-5-2 or 3-5-1 in attack. and i would jizz everywhere to see bainsey and seamus as wingbacks.

 

[ijjysmith]

Heitinga plays right back excellently.

 

[billycopper]

Heitinga plays right back excellently.

He's refused to play full back.

 

[billycopper]

He's pretty mediocre at full back. It might be the best option though, just to get him playing. I don't think that Neville or Hibbo would resent him getting a game with a Euro place at stake.

 

[harryjam]

Coleman should be right back enough said. Puts in more of a challenge more than Neville ever will, gets forward more than Hibbert. He's disciplined enough for it now. But it's Moyes.

I myself would prefer more opponent clean sheets. You know, to feel like we really kept both teams from scoring. That's real defense.
