Well I don't think it's important to pass judgement on what is a positive development. At Newcastle, I'm finding it hard to believe that Williamson has actually benched Yanga-Mbiwa but there you go.

And Newcastle are right now 6th and we just destroyed a team 5-1 not to mention beating Man U and Chelsea. Is Williamson the cause for this better composure at the back and all that?

Maybe.

It's the same with Bonera. Perhaps the current composition of the team and the strategy suits his gameplay more. Centre Backs are never the same the world over and their job description often varies. And the strategy always varies. Nesta was a brilliant stopper/man marker with great ball control. Silva was a ball playing defender with accurate positioning. Fortunately it clicked, and we started this tendency of playing the ball out from the back with Silva being our deep lying playmaker before Pirlo. And Nesta being more of a sweeper behind.


Bonera now plays that role more. He is good with those balls at his feet, always has been, biggest surprise like Danny said is his reading of the game has gone up leaps and bounds. It could be his age. He is perhaps a lot more relaxed and calm on the game. Could be anything. I don't give a shite what it is. My ego is not the least bit hurt to see Daniele being the best CB on this team or him keeping Mexes on the bench. I don't care. Mexes can be greater than Silva and Kompany combined as an individual, but I'll take the man who is delivering for 6 games on a trot.

I see no point in 'planning to fail'. Carry an umbrella with you, if you're going to walk around with it open coz you think it might rain you're being silly.


I have nothing more to add to this.

A bit surprised. Capri and Chievo mentioned, but Villareal that's...very unpredictable. I wish him the best.

He isn't that bad of a player, thats why. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Had a whole bunch of horrific lapses in concentration and errors in defensive judgments, but there was a time when he seemed like he had potential. Heck, dst once thought fairly highly of him. That's when he played alongside Maldini and Nesta.

Sadly that was to be his peak, one feels. Wish him best of luck, nevertheless, was never a bad guy to begin with, not a troublemaker or a fire starter, the likes of which we have been treated to recently.

His flaw was positional sense. It wasn't the best.

His strength was willing to put his body where it hurt, and strength in the air.
