Yobo for Hibbert

sarath · January 26, 2009

What do you guys think of putting yobo right back? this way we could retain baines. i'm not really sure i remember how well yobo used to play there? does he bomb forward well? how is his crossing? hopefully better than hibbert

Why change something thats working? Especially when we have 3 huge games coming up. Change it around when we are against the 'easier' teams.

But no, never Yobo right Back, when Neville and Hibbert to great jobs there.

You get no argument from me Dom if its not broke dont mess with (y)

it

I wouldn't put Yobo at right back.

Hibbert does a good job on that side, I don't think Yobo would improve it at all really, he needs to play at the centre, but obviously with Lescott's and Jagielka's form he won't get in at the minute.

He was unlucky to get injured when he did.

Why? Hibbert's been rock solid and played against some very tough wingers/wide players - Riera, Babel, Deco, Malouda - so far.

Nice idea, but until hibbo cocks up immensely, no need for the change.

Theirs just no need to change any thing inthe back 4. They'v been superb.

Yobo only has a year and a half left on his contract. He's too good to sit on the bench really.

Im surprised HB hasn't popped up in this thread because he is so in love with yobo lol

Leave the back four as is, Joey will have to sit out IMO. All we have to sort is to fit Arteta and Bushynob.

Bainsey · January 26, 2009

Yobo's always been poor when played at RB for us imo, drifts back into CB.

I love Joey as much as the next man, sadly hes going to have to sit out and wait for his chance.

Done it before and he was rubbish. Ain't broken, don't try and fix it.

He's awful there, looked lost everytime he got moved to right back.

It would lower morale in amongst the team, changing the back four after those last two games.

Especially in order to fit a player in who never plays that position for our club. How would Hibbert feel if Moyes drops him and gives Yobo a go out there?

At least if Hibbert gets dropped for Neville it's in order to make sure the captain is in the side.
