If your backline plays as advanced as the center midfield line (like Man City's or Barcelona's), then yes, you are screwed if you don't have fast defenders.

If you are pushed into your own box the entire game, you don't really need that fast center backs, more like big, strong and good at heading away.

Mr Turd Alert, do you know of a short dude named Ian Harris in woldingham? Only mention as it’s a small town

Cabaye not as good as we all hoped or at least not as attacking, but still one of our best.

I agree.

He has struggled lately and clearly needs a break. This injury could be ideal as he has to rest and therefore morale will not be affected if he was sat on the bench.

Really hope the return will be perfectly timed for when our massive run in begins and he is back to the form he was showing a few months ago.

Some people are like Slinkies … not really good for anything, but you can’t help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.
