On watching tonights highlights, combined with our previous games, our defense is awesome. With Yobo and Jags in the middle and Lescott at left-back, we are 3/4 to the way to the perfect back-four. I feel sorry for a couple of our defenders, Baines and Hibbert being the two in my mind. With Jags doing the business in the middle and Lescott more than accomplished at left-back that leaves Baines in the lurch.
Right-back I see as a place to upgrade on. We need to clone a right-footed Lescott to fill in there. Either that or somehow meld Hibbert and Baines into one super-full-back. The attacking qualities of Baines and the defensive hard-crunching tackling of Hibbert.
I am sure Moyes recognizes the need to upgrade the RB position. Hopefully he does in the summer, which will give us an amazing starting line-up and a sweet back-up force.
Thoughts anyone?
