Onuoha

The point I made was not a resembling of their quality but rather of the fact that Maldini's quality was based on the fact that he positioned himself in a way to make many interceptions. Onuoha does that as well. Certainly not the the extent or quality that Maldini does but you look at the statistical extremes to highlight a quality. If I said look at Wes Morgan and the way he plays, no one would give two farks because Wes Morgan did not do anything to define the positioning game. Just like people talk about the Makelele position or Busquets position, we can say the intercepting centre back is the Maldini position because he defined that role.

His posts do have that effect.

He is young.. Like the enthusiasm. Going up Loftus Road will soon knock that out of him.

So what you're actually saying is Green should have done what Onuoha SHOULD have done in the first place.

Onuoha should have put it in row z, either before or after he had let it bounce first (again).

Instead he leathered to Green for him to deal with when it should have already been sorted.

Nothing wrong with Ned at this level, it's the manager we're bang in trouble with.

Just so I have this right. Its Ramsey who gets turned inside out by strikers and who can't jump for a ball to defend a basic cross into the box?

Just so I'm clear

All defenders make mistakes that cost goals, they make less of them in organised well drilled sides though.

What drill do you need to not be able to stand and jump with an incoming player from a run of the mill ball into the box?

It's bread and butter stuff. Very poor defending.
