The defence

Minor blip or has something gone wrong? Moyes success in building a side that has finished in the upper bracket of the table has been down, in no small part, to a defence that has not given to much away. What has gone wrong?

I can't put a finger on it but whatever it is, they better get it sorted and fast.

Minor blip. We're playing a new way and with some new players, few of which were given a chance to play pre-season. Give them time.

Agreed !

A Good solid pre-season with early integration of any new players has to be the foundation to any good start to a season.

Dont need to be the host of too many brain cells to work out that our pre season was about as far from that as possible - must have been about the most disrupted that it has ever been.

Are season has started 5 weeks late. Once it clicks we'll be a top team. No doubts.

The likes of Fellaini an Castello will be top players. Plus Saha who alread is.

It was the same last season the defence started abysmaly!

It's Castillo and Fellaini's fault so I'm told, simply not good enough.

We miss Carsley aswell, his ability to play in every position at once is something we now lack, he also stops players from making individual errors. (y)
