Aly Cissokho - sold

[brontebilly]

Started off pretty solid but when we switched to the tikki takka style of play his limitations were exposed.

He was a full solid disgrace at Hull

Going to be very hard to drop Clark who has probably been our best defender this season, he might be moving to left back if Vlaar stays fit.

[Toronto Villa]

He's a full back that was asked to play wing back. If he gets back to being just a defensive full back who goes up as far as the half way line then he'll be just fine.

Agree TV.  He is fine defensively, but ideally needs a wide player in front of him who he can play the simple ball to.

He still reminds me of the camp window dresser in the Mannequin film

The problem was that under Lambert, the full backs were the only source of width we had.  And with neither of them being completely comfortable on the ball, it limited attacking options. 

[Matt Collins]

I'd still rather him than Bennett but how anyone ever paid £14m for him beggars belief

[Clampy]

I think overall for the £2m we paid, he's been a decent buy and he's been ok.  He did start really well, then dipped a bit but a few players under Lambert did that.

Everyone's on a fresh start now. If Timmy plays with width and lets our attackers provide the width, as opposed to our defenders doing it all, then we'll look better. If you look at Chelsea for example, Mourinho will often have his fullbacks go up as far as the half way line, and let their attack wide players provide the width. Ivanovic is a center-half really. His first job is always to defend. Granted he's actually a very effective attacking option for them, especially from set pieces, but he's not given the unenviable task of creating everything for his team, as Cissokho and Hutton are. They were expected to take on 2-3 players and whip in a cross. Invariably 9/10 they had to turn and pass back to a CH.

Lamberts idea of a game plan was inane.

Cissokho said: “I don't want to knock Sherwood, but Garde is a very good coach. He did a great job in Lyon. To take a team that is last, it is a very big challenge... We'll see if his arrival changes anything for me [about returning to Villa].”

It'll be interesting to see if he gets another chance for us. I remember reading a quote where Garde once described Cissokho as the best left back in the league or something like that. So obviously rates him

Just like Lambert said Hutton was the best right back in the country

To be fair, can anyone remember which country Hutton was in when Lambert said that?
If he was on holiday in the Maldives for example?

We can probably rule out The Vatican as the nation in question.

If he ended up on that desert island with staunch Villa fan Tom Hanks and Spalding I'd be confident.
