Jamie Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Anything to do with our defenders goes in here, instead of having things all over. I'd personally go with Taylor and Faye...simply because of their strength there are quite a few points for and against many partnerships in defence so just stick what you want in here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I voted Faye-Beye because I think they're the two best defenders we have, although we shall see if Beye is more useful at RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Beye & Faye are potentially the perfect combination of pace and power, but as we don't really have an alternative right-back, i'll agree with Wullie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Faye and Cacapa at the moment i would say. Taylor still has the tendency to make some stupid mistakes which he needs to sort out then he will be in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Taylor and Faye for me. Not saying that on the back just of today's game, I've fought Taylor's corner all season. There's an excellent defender in Cacapa but I suspect his injuries were the reason we got him for nothing and an injury-prone defender isn't helpful when you're trying to build a solid back four. There's also the language barrier and the lack of Premier League experience, neither of which are a problem for Taylor and Faye. I've made my views on Rozehnal known so I won't go over it again, but I don't think he should be in the back four when everyone's fit by any means. A squad player in my eyes.

thomas Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I like roz, I do, but he may be better suited as a long term replacement for butt as DM. I may be misremembering but wasn't that touted as really being his best position anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Faye is nailed on as one of the starting defenders, the real question is who is his best partner? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading up on Cacapa, and his injury record must be terrible - he's played fewer games in his career than James Milner, depsite being 10 years older.

Guest nufc_geordie Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I would go with Taylor and Roz. They complement each other well and need games to develop an understanging. I could potentially see Faye as a holding player in midfield alongside Barton and that would give us a stronger core to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faye's been noticably our best defender this season, I'd keep him there. Much improved from Taylor last night though, he's been shit most of this season but I thought he put in a decent shift.

toptoon Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 At this moment in time Faye and Taylor are the best and the future for me. Roze seems quick, good on the floor, good passer of the ball, calm, intelegent player. In the air though he is weak and fails to pick up his man when defending crosses. Cacapa is a veteran he has vast experience, most the plus points Roze has minus the speed, he may come back from his Pompey mare stronger hopefully, he is also injury prone as pointed out. We need to form a consistant defence so it's Beye Taylor Faye Enrique imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 i voted taylor rozehnal, not because of last night but because i think they have performed the best as a partnership so far, i think sa will go with faye taylor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
