Yet another solid display from Upson, he's going to be very hard to leave out before long!

We've got 4 quality centre backs at the club, they'll all play their part this season

Much better than Woodgate on current form and must stay in the first team, my man of the match tonight.

To be honest I think he was better than Huth today, so solid and calm in posession. Also isn't it nice to see the ball being pushed around the back when getting out of trouble when done right, must be as a result of Upson and Woodgate, definitely brought something new to our style of play.

I was just going start a thread re Upson as to how good he was tonight.
MOTM by a country mile. He was awesome and yet never broke sweat.
Classy performance.

Getting back to his form of 2/3 years ago. It helps when you have a reliable keeper behind you rather than a flapper like Green.
Seriously though...delighted hes proved me wrong...I was dead against him signing

Definitely my MOM. Could see him and Ryan as a good duo in the centre if and when Huth suspended or still stuck out at RB!!

Best signing of the summer so far for me. I think he's been absolutely faultless. Solid defensively and he uses the ball exceptionally simply, and well.
One of the most baffling ever decisions from TP came on Sunday when he was inexplicably dropped from the team.
He is a must in our back line from now on.

After how Wilson played yet again tonight, I wonder if TP will be tempted to play Upson at full back so that he can restore Huth to the middle and bring back Wilko.

I'd certainly give him a punt at LB, Wilson has looked absolute dogshit there this season, I certainly aren't filled with much confidence when it's his flank being attacked. Although he is a square peg, so I'm not too surprised.

Wilson was fine defensively,it was his passing that was poor - and we know he can pass ok usually.

Why not try Upson at left back and Wilson at right as opposed to Huth at right back and Wilson at left? A better option I think but I still hate playing centre backs at full back.

He's played LB somewhere before hasn't he? With Huth being obviously out of sorts back there.......it can't be any worse, can it?? Possibly not the game to be experimenting, though??? Against the shit!!??  |

i personally thought upson was rubbish for west ham for the last 2 seasons.
however, it goes to show how important it is to be playing alongside players of decent quality to bring out a player's own best form and qualities.
hats off to upson and woodgate so far - excellent additions
