Gotta give him some credit. He is really looking to establishing himself as a superstar. He he makes the occasional error, but he is a tough kid, and a nice goal today as well.

 

He's been fantastic, you cant really give any higher praise than saying Sami Hyypia hasnt been missed at all.

Should be great for years to come, perfect partner for Carra really and they are working well at the moment. Should be looking at 5-10 goals a season as well. :)

Yep, he's development has been fantastic since he joined us from Brondby. Was a bit concerned about his injuries, but he seems to have gotten over them. He's technique is feckin fantasic for a centre back.

 

I still think we need another quality CB in the summer. If Carra or Agger get injured, we'd be substancially weakened at the back. Sami just doesn't have the pace any more and hardly figures anyway. Not sure if Arbeloa can play there and Paletta still looks off the pace.

 

Woodgate would fit the bill perfectly and would allow Rafa to chop and change the centre back pairing to keep them fresh throughout the course of a season.

Don't think he's developed at all really, he's been fantastic right from the start of the season.

 

Don't think we need another CB, it'd be madness to get another in. We have Carra and Agger as first choice and Sami, Arbeloa and Paletta as back up in the first team squad as well as Roque, Hobbs and Antwi who could play if we're really stuck.

agree, hopefully sami will stay for another season at least

he is great but still prone to a dangerous moment every game. imagine a couple of years when he eliminates that with a couple more goals!

Agree - plus I cant imagine woodgate coming to play second fiddle to carra and agger. You just dont rotate your centerbacks as often as you do for the midfield and strikers.

Been found out a tad when coming up against more muscular and pacy opposition such as Martins and almost Baptista yesterday, but he'll only get stronger me thinks and in time, polish up his positioning. What a player though.

I bet Carra has been a huge influence on him and helped him hit the ground running. You couldn't wish for a better role model in his position.

5-10 :unsure:

 

Yeah, he's got four this season and I think he can look to get a few more. Sami used to get over 5 a season a few years back and I think Agger should look to do the same. Daniel got 5 in 26 games the season before he joined us and 3 in 6 U21 internationals. I think Rafa will set him a little goals target next year. :)

talking of goal scoring defenders, how many does Gallas have ?

He's always sniffing around the 6 yard box on set pieces.

 

He always seems to score against us as well, both in his chelsea days and now with Arsenal

He's a former striker Gallas, that instinct has served him well. That said, we don't deal with those kind of corners very well. There was a similar one earlier that I remember when the ball was played in to their man at the near post to flick it into the six yard area and the second time they did that, they scored. Chelsea has done that to us too as that particular variation of corners has cost us a few goals.

newcastle away...

 

 

I can think of maybe half a dozen the whole season, same as Carra in reality. All he has to do is man up a bit in the challenge which he is doing, he wont get the balance of free kicks for pushes and nudges in the PL, and the safest option is to stay upright. Also he needs to think more with his distribution or he may go the road of Ferdinand, good on the ball but s*** at using it.

He's done really well, I do think though due to compliancy/casualness he has a mistake in him most games
