My mate does his "if only we could get a good right back we can get rid of Hibbert" nonsense almost every game we play. I wish some people would watch the game.
Hibbert, along with Neville are our two most improved players.
He was doing what we now appreciate for most of last season. Instead of his lead boots, his feet can deliver a good sweet ball into the danger area, he can overlap and we already know about his defensive qualities.
The cup final simply displayed for the world his obvious weaknesses which are lack of pace and positional sense. But if you think that some new boy is simply gonna walk in and take the shirt off Tony, I think that your gonna get a big surprise.
I also think Osman is played out of position. He's a much better central midfielder, and when we have the personnel and he plays in that position, he'll get his own appreciation thread.
