Audit of the squad.

[army88]

Bang on the money BC.We hyped him up to something that he is not.Good tackler but useless in the air and never makes any forward runs to bring the ball up the pitch.Dara O Shea was the opposite good with his head but suspect to dropping clangers with his feet.

Before we slag Esteve off what I will
Say in his defence is he?s a young man who is learning as he goes in the best league in the world / I think as Ballcock says we should have bought a established centre back with premier league attributes to help him

Also in his defence there is little to no
Protection in front of him / the midfield plays practically on top of them and offers very little help or release of pressure.

His heading is an issue being honest - i still think he ha s the makings and attributes to be successful at this level of football.

We aren't slagging anyone off or going on a witch hunt. I was just saying what I see and that he is weak in the air attacking and defending.
I honestly think we would have got more from O'Shea than him this season as he would have weighed in with the odd set piece goal, something that Esteve isn't capable of doing, and lets face it the defence couldn't be much worse.
The defence as been a shambles and Walker as been embarrassing at times, he now looks like his Premier league days or long gone
