But that's a different argument, you're talking about Lescott putting in better performances than Baines at LB this season for Baines to get dropped - which, IMO, he hasnt - and that Yobo can do a better job at CB than Lescott. That's how it should be judged for Yobo to come in at the moment.

So with one goal 1 in 6 games past us, and Baines with 2-3 assists within thoughs games and the team working there are no reason to drop Baines for Lescott.

To me it will effect the defence. Lescott wants to be a CB not a LB, and Baines wants to cement his position after 1 season and a half of being on the bench. So moving Lescott to LB will just say to the player "Yobo is a better CB than you" and to Baines that will mean "Lescott is a better LB than you" which wont make much sense to either player when they've only let one goal in over 9hours of football.

Your getting into semantics mate, for me the best 4 is

Hibbo (Or neville if you really want to argue) Jag Yobo Lescott. The sooner we get back to that 4 the better. As i said you wouldnt leave Yak out if fit just because Cahill has done well recently would you, i fail to see the difference

Its not getting into semantics is about what they offer to the team. Pienaar and Baines work great down that left, Baines has a better cross and pass than Lescott, is quicker and adds pace down that left side, and last night showed he can tackle and defend.

Lescott is a defender 1st, can get stripped for pace by a winger but is solid enough to do a good job. He can get foward but his crossing and passing is hit and miss.

As for bringing in the Yak for Cahill is for the basic reason that Cahill is not a 20 goals a season striker and offers something different to Cahill. Cahill scored 10 goals last season from midfield and probably played less games, he's scored 5-6 or something so far. There's the difference at why Yak would play.

I dont see a reason to put Lescott at LB at the moment because what does it offer?

Better defender and great going forward to put simply. He offers just as much going forward but with the added bonus of being a much better defender than Baines

Im afraid you are not listening to what has been said. Lescott doesn't play well at left back and is awesome with jags in the center and baines is our best left back so there is no room for yobo.
 

Remind me which player won player of the season last yr and which position he played in? Damn who was it, its on the tip of my tongue:lol::lol:

Erm look at the results at which he has played at left back this season?? Says it all last season was only a fluke he is better as cb than lb he is slow and gets caught out of position and costs us a few goals
 
JESUS, why do any of you listen to HB, hes blind as a bat. He says Jags is crap and he says Baines is crap. The lid is a just here to wind people up and you all fall for it. Hes clearly got pictures of Leighton and Phil on his wall at home and he even has a sneaky wank whenever he sees them on tele.

DONT FALL FOR HIS LIES.
