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
