It helps when you have Baines, Jagiekla, Cahill and Carrick starting and not the trinity of utter c***s, Cole, Terry and Ferdinand.
Cole walks back into this side, like.
Aye for all Baines talents going forward he's still nowhere near Cole defensively and in the end it will matter.
His attacking contribution mattered more tonight.
Yes it did but better teams will exploit his lack of defensive ability..... doesn't help the centre backs are very very average though.
Cole is the only truly top level defender we have and he walks back in the team, even if he is a c*nt.
Equally his ability going forwards would exploit oppositions more than Cole. Just like what he gives us from the left.
