When BAE is fit does he deserve to start?

Is an article with one star better than those with no stars?

Naughton is by far and away our best left back. Very tactically astute. Stick him at right back and he comes inside far too much...with just Lennon for company down the right we would be punished.

There is no room for b.a.e now he is not tactically aware or disciplined and we now play a very disciplined game.

There was an interesting article the other day explaining that gallas is the cause of walkers supposed bad form. Can't find it now!

Walker in bad form I believe again it's another myth spread by people saying something but not looking at the bigger picture.

We play a disciplined game now not free flowing football, walker won't be bombing down the right because he has no permission to do so. His positioning defensively is fine it's the gap between his centre back partner which is the problem.

As soon as gallas is dropped it will be easy to identify.

We also need to forget about Kaboul I doubt we will see him before January. He isn't scheduled to start training until late December.

Vertongheny,

Cheers, I suddenly feel appreciated for at least effort if not substance.

It's a very could article and we could debate it for along time as people have there own favourites and think they could play different formations etc

What do you think lads have we missed dear old drugs ?

Vertonghen has been an able deputy when Naughton got crocked.

What are your thoughts guys ?

BAE is a shoe-in. This is not a good situation.
Either Rose must develop into a proper LB, or a younger future prospect must be found.

I posted this article to promote some open debate to see if others thought the same as me and also to have a debate and learn. I am both surprised and delighted. I am very interested in the comment about Walker's form being affected by the Gallas partnership and the statement that no current options completely solve the LB position, which is possible why this is such a good debate. The LB position is very much open and available to the one who wants it most. Attitudes change as you age, for BAE it is time to want the position and to play with passion for us and not just for money.
