Worst defence we've never had?

[scam]

is this the worst defence we've ever had? Seems to me we can't keep a clean sheet. Four defenders at the back and three defenders in midfield but I expect us to concede every game. Why's it not working?

because with all them defenders we arnt attacking and sitting back

I liked hottiger, but I don't think was worth the work permit shenanigans. Plus he had stupid hair. I remember Kendall signing 4 right backs in his fateful last season, none of them any good

Distin and Jagielka can't form a partnership.

John mcLaughlin, Arthur Styles, Glen Keeley, Terry Darracott, ... there have been worse times than this ...

You mean Frank Sinclair right because Trevor Sinclair was boss.

Think there was a typo in the title- worst defence we've EVER had became NEVER had and people have just written random names of players we havent had that would be rubbish in defence.

I love GOT sometimes ;-)

As mentioned earlier the problem is further up the pitch certainly not the personnel in the defence. Baines, Distin and Jags, despite current form, are all quality players. Hibbo is a capable defender if lacking in other areas. Howard has some weaknesses but there are plenty of worse keepers in the league.

It's overly simplistic to say "we conceed goals so the defence is ****e". Not having an outlet upfront that can hold the ball up and bring the midfield into play, having too many defensive minded midfielders in the centre so the striker, sorry midfielder playing upfront is isolated, lacking players (or having them resistricted by position they are asked to play) with the natural inclination to link defense to midfield and midfield to attack etc etc all contribute to the ball coming back at us too frequently.

This is by no means the worst defence we have ever had. However, the form of individuals has been inconsistent.
