This is where I feel we need to strengthen next season.
The prize for stating the bleeding obvious goes to me!
-
Post of the year. Lock the thread. Oh wait, I can do that.

Told you I was bored!

Right back at you.

Right back at you.
Left back more a priority

Applauds.

Right back at you.
No, we don't need a right back.
-
Next season we will score more than we will concede even if we do not strengthen the defence. So no worries and I am NOT affected by sunshine before anyone says so....
-
If we concede fewer goals next season, that will be a good thing IMO.
-
We need centre halfs,Lowton is ok but Bennett,i wonder if my Mom could do better.
-
I think there's something there in Bennett but at times he did struggle last season and it might be a risk to rely on him again. Bearing in mind Lescott can play left back, he'd be first on my wish list before anyone else.
-
Is this a serious thread ?
-
Sod the defence. We need more strikers.
-
I'd be happy if our defence isn't the footballing equivalent of Katie Price's tuppence again. Oh yes, that would be nice.
I dream of a world in which we keep it respectable at the back, move the ball about well in midfield with skill and purpose and hammer a fair few goals in. Balance.

Mr. Lambert. Is that you???

Had a mere mortal started it, they would have been strung up by the goolies.
-
Inspired by the 'Having a Midfield' thread. String me up!

Bennett will be better alongside a better left CB.

Will get better. Or look better?

Both.

The jury is out on all of our defence for me. They were shocking defensively last season. Lowton looks good going forward and Vlaar chipped in with 2 screamers too.
Something isn't working back there though, albeit I don't think the midfield did them many favours particularly the wide midfielders.
-
We have no problems at right back. I am happy with Lowton and Herd as a back up. Bennett redeemed himself in my eyes towards the end of the season but we need an option and Stevens isn't it. I heard Cresswell at Ipswich is available for about two million. Lescott would be ideal for the centre. I like Baker, but he is prone to drop big clangers. Clark didn't have a great season and Vlaar disappointed me slightly but with one good signing in that position we would suddenly have options and competition for places.

We didn't have wide players when we were doing really shit. When he played a proper formation, the full backs weren't exposed.
However, as has been said, so long as score more than we let in, who cares?!?!

Lambert wants to get a brickie , cheap enough. Just brick up the goal.

I agree with that and that lescott should be top of our list CB wise. Nothing will happen there until the managerial situation at Man City is sorted though.
Bennett has looked to good going forward to write him off without trying to get the defensive side of his game right by coaching and having more stability in the rest of the back 4.
-
A central defender is a must , I also think Bennett has shown enough to suggest he will be a useful player and would not spend big on a left back- maybe a utility player who could cover all defensive options would be useful.

Think you've got this about right, with the addition of another dependable defensive CB for cover.
-
Disagree about Bennett, don't think he's Prem class.
I'd love a decent left back and a Lescott ( even Lescott himself !) to get the back sorted.
-
Bennett improved at the end of last season, it would be very harsh to say not.
Can he be at that level for 30 + prem games next season (providing he stays fit aswell). I have my doubts and expect he'll have a serious dip in form.
-
Would have seen us pushing for Europe with the Midfield/attack were developing.
