Yobo for Hibbert

TX Bill · January 27, 2009

Since this hasn't been said yet in the thread, I'll bring it up.

We tried Yobo at right back in the past and it didn't work out.

Since Hibbert's doing well there and Baines has been solid, looks like Joey's gonna have to wait.

Glad I could add something new.

5 defenders!!!!

howard
jags yobo lescott
hibbert.............................. baines
midfield/ striker nonsense

it'd work spectacularly, if we're going to play with that many defenders, we might as well make sure its air tight! and we shouldn't be looking to replace hibbert when the last 2 goals we've given up came from stevie g running up the centre. jags and lescott were excellent, but they can't be 100 percent all the time. i think 3 in the middle is the best way to bring yobo slowly back into the team

Whether or not it's a good idea, it's never, ever, going to happen.

didn't we do something sort of similar with stubbs?

Jags played striker for us in a game last year, How about Cahill and Jags up front

Sooner or later one of them will get knacked, they'll be enough minutes for everybody. Its nice to have depth at a position for a change.

Haven't read all this thread so this has probably already been said but no, we're doing well at right back & Yobo has been tried there in the past & been ******* useless. He's an amazing centre back but he's looked lost whenever he's played at right back

You're right, has already been said and fully agree with it.
