He's much better at RB than RM, doesn't have the nouse to take it past a player at from midfield but from right back he's got a head start on them and can burn players off (like a very poor mans Dani Alves).
Coleman was as good as Baines the centre defence was our let down yet again!
He has improved and looked to be making RB position his own. However, he is always prone to the rash challenges in and around the box. For that reason he is a total liability and should only really be given game time if desperate or a cup run out.. Especially this season, if we are looking for a European spot.
Sylvain cost us a semi against our biggest rivals and he was/is an experienced pro but people still want him back in for Heitinga...
I want Duffy. Neither Heitinga or Distin are playing well and Duffy is the only option we haven't tried.

We're not going to get many clean sheets with two attacking full backs, Coleman had cost us to goals in the past games, fulham, and now reading, all down to his age but he should not be making these mistakes which are costing the team. Hopefully he can learn from this but his tackle infront of the ref was brain dead.
I wouldn't mind that, but you know what I was trying to get across there...
I've gone off popcorn, thanks...
Our defence isn't right. We play with a six man defence, basically. The Goalkeeper, the 2 CBs and then the Dm when we're attacking and the two Fbs when we're not.
And out of those six, our goalkeeper isn't playing well (though I thought he was better yesterday), only one of our CB's is playing well (despite us trying two different players as his partner), our DM has been injured since the end of august and his replacements aren't of the same quality, and our full backs are getting caught out a lot, particuarly on the right where Coleman's relatively inexperienced but Baines is also.
Replacing coleman might help but it's naive to think it would solve all our problems. We get a good CB partnership and a good DM in there and we can get away with attacking full backs. Right now we're looking good going forward but we're damned vulnerable because the four defensive players we leave back when we bring the two full backs forward can't cope. We can either live with that tradeoff, only bring one full back forward (the hibbert option) or try and sort out our defence so we can cope with two attacking full backs.

Because he's been absolutely fantastic lately.
