We have the 6th best defence in the league.
Chelsea 32 GA
Southmpton 33 GA
Arsenal 36 GA
Man Utd 37 GA
Man City 38 GA
Stoke City 45 GA
Conceded fewer than Spurs and Liverpool. Given our awful run of injuries, constant reshuffled back four and vulnerability to set pieces that's a mighty achievement.

Half of our goals conceded from set pieces. Cut that in half, add a few of our own at the other and sixth is doable I tells thee!  |

Usually from the same players, take those players out and we can finish where I think we deserve to (higher)! Happy days! It's just a shame Muni is so injury prone. |

I mean there is thread after thread how crap they are

That back four yesterday is a more than decent, individual errors and set pieces have cost us but with Muniesa and Shawcross at the back I'm more than happy......

They really are and we look so much better with them in the side than any other pairing. We've even (or so it seems) defended set pieces a bit better these past few weeks which is excellent. The key for next season will be keeping him fit and then hoping when he isn't Wilson and Wolly are mentally with it and switched on. |

It blighted his development at Barca.If he wasn't injury prone we would never have got him. |

It's something that the medical team have got to get their head around to sort. Because if we can we have one of the best partnerships in the Premier League at centre back. |

I mean there is thread after thread how crap they are They aren't great though are they? All are good cover but none of them should be starting more than 10 games a season in the league. That's my issue with them. We can do so much better for a starting right back and then we're sorted and it will transform us from a mediocre side to a really good one! |

You are like a broken record fella. Geoffrey has just signed a 3 year extension. Wolly has just signed for 3 years. Wilson is here for at least 2 more = get over it BECAUSE IT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE |

It may also indicate that Wilson and Wolly are not as bad as some would have us believe! |

Wilson is here for at least 2 more = get over it BECAUSE IT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE Geoff has and God help us all if we don't sign a proper right back. Ditto Wolly, him not coming on yesterday was very telling imo, why can't we trust our new signing? Wilson has a year left, I think he might go this summer actually which I actually think is a worry! Because Wolly is a work in progress and we know Wilson can at least come in and on the whole be solid with his mistakes thrown in but he's better than Wolly. The big worry there though clearly is Muni's injuries and how many games one of these two will have to play. |

I mean there is thread after thread how crap they are I suspect a lot of it is to do with how we retain the ball much better now. Instead of massively conceding possession like we used to do under TP, we now put the defence under far less pressure because our opponents don't actually have the ball to attack us with. Bayern is right in saying that there has been some calamitous individual defending from us this season, cut that out and we could be legitimate contenders for a Europa spot next term. |

Go back to making stuff up on the other thread!  They are clearly dodgy but we also have 3 excellent defenders and a world class goalie and a defensive midfielder who shields them excellently. Cameron will be good back up but you can't honestly believe we can't do better at right back than him? Wilson too is excellent cover but he shouldn't be a regular at centre back for a Premier League club. Lets see if Wolly can get a bit faster and a lot stronger then maybe he can and deserve to be a regular at a Premier League club. That's the top and bottom of it. |

They don't count a penalty given away and then scored as a mistake that led to a goal. Which I find odd. |
