• I don't think it mattered who played center half. The key to balancing the team at Villa was getting JOB to f*** away from the right back slot. Both our center halves made stupid passes in the early stages which threatened to unstable us, but the midfield gave them incredible protection and they were able to sit deep and enjoy very comfortable night...

• Not exactly Ray Wilson, but we have an awful lot to put right before we start to look at Myko...

• Christy, do you think our midfield could have given such a performance if Keane, was partnering Tarkowski, with Jake O’Brien, playing fullback, yesterday? I personally don’t and that’s another reason why I agreed with some of Conor’s criticisms....

• I thought you got a clean slate with a new manager Ian, and the only coach still at the club, since Moyes arrived is Leighton Baines. Patterson is shite, that’s all I’ve seemed to read on this website and the reason some people think he his shite, is because the ultra defensive Dyche, never picked him, but when Moyes, came in and used O’Brien, at fullback, everyone said Moyes, had made a fool out of Dyche, because he wouldn’t play him and he looks a decent player. Patterson was very ropey early on against Forest, but he showed he had plenty of bottle by sticking to his task and although his team won and also kept a clean sheet, he was back out the team the next game. If that’s a manager giving you a proper chance, then no wonder the kid has got so many detractors, but he’s played another two games since then and after (personally) suffering (exasperation) from watching O’Brien, playing fullback, I definitely questioned Moyes’s judgement, for the overall benefit...

• I agree, George, and I just hope Myko doesn't take as much flak from the match-going crowd as he does here on TW. I think most folks here just watch other clubs' modern attacking fullbacks and wish we had one. ...

• I suspect there is a good reason Moyes has not played Nathan much. Along the lines of: once teams know he's going to be the right-back, I reckon his weaknesses will be systematically targeted. Just as Jake has over the last 18 months started to be found out at full-back, I reckon this game would happen with Nathan, but speeded up. Once these wingers smell blood, I think it would be over quite quickly. ...
