He's always out of position, rarely tackles and his passing is poor. Could it be because so many spent all last season saying he should be in the side that they can't bring themselves to admit that he's just not very good.Oh come on Chris, he's not "always out of position" and he certainly hasn't been as bad as you make out. Don't turn this into a Carlos vs Luke Young debate. I defended Carlos at right back last season but Young gives us something extra, even if he's not always on top form. What does he give us extra? He's not a good attacking full back and he's a worse defender than Carlos.

In Luke's favour, he cannot be criticised for not giving 100% each game and if there's a 50/50 ball he rarely shirks a challenge

Luke Young will have to sit it out on the bench and Carlos will play in his preferred position in the middle.

In hindsight perhaps we didn't have too much to moan about last season so Carlos at right back was the main debate.We've got a bit more to worry about this season but at least we're not short of scapegoats.
