So, not a bad match allover, but for me there are two clear groups of players who played well and those who haven't.

Our fullbacks were top on today. Especially De Sciglio made a few very good passes and runs. Abate - needless to say - was good as well but had minor defensive problems. Alex and Bonaventura did also very well, Menez was okay. It's a bit hard to tell who's MoM because IMO no one was that outstanding. So my vote goes to MDS.

The bad group - starts with Muntari, who would be flop if he hadn't score that great goal that saved him. But my pick will be Rami; too many individual mistakes - unbelievable errors in passing and positioning.

Torres could have done also much more. Honda was okay, but his finishing leaves much to be desired. Nevermind the good free-kick, but he wasted 2 good chances with a bad miss. Nevertheless, a good game.

How about we sell everyone and sign two decent CBs? That would be the best. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Well if we sell the whole team we'll get £15M and that's not enough for a good reserve defender.

Zaccardo is a RB.

Zaccardo hasn't been a RB since probably his Palermo days

He's been playing at CB for years now, certainly while he was at Parma. Sure he "can" play RB now but he's mostly used as a CB because he's painfully slow.

And the "can play" statement I would use loosely when talking about Zaccardo playing any position. Just an awful player and still do not understand why we even looked his way twice, let alone signed him to a long term deal

Squad depth, plain and simple.

Really? Can it be classified as squad depth when you'd rather throw in a literal headless chicken instead of him?

I think our problem is we have too much "squad depth" and no real top quality.

Zaccardo in or out of the team won't make one iota of difference to our team during a season, I doubt he'll ever see the field this season anyway. I think keeping on Bonera for all these years is more than enough mediocre "squad depth"
