Thread says defense.Name a CB pairing better, at least on paper.
Anyway, Stones Dias.

WTF? Charlie Austin the striker?I can’t believe how low TalkSPORT has fallen.
Charlie Austin saying today that we need a new right back because AWB can’t defend! Of all the things AWB can’t do, the one thing he can do is defend! Unbelievable.
Well I definitely disagree with that. Stones, in particular. But they're the closest I can think of.Thread says defense.

Posts like this infuriates me. Nothing special? As in they could have four cones there and no difference is made? Or is it because they are so attacking-minded that a good turnover makes them look a bit sketchy? But if that is true, would they not look better if they played more defensively like United or Chelsea? Exactly. You are caught by the Sergio Ramos-syndrome, who according to some is a terrible defender when he is in fact not. It’s a deliberate system where the defenders are at times exposed for the greater good, something the amount of trophies and goals scored are an indication of. By all means, they are nothing special… only let in the least goals last season and had like +50 GD on top.City is brilliant defensively because teams can't get the ball from them or are too afraid to try.
Whenever a team really goes at city they are nothing special.
Let's agree to disagree then.Well I definitely disagree with that. Stones, in particular. But they're the closest I can think of.
It's helped massively by someone like Fernandinho or Rodri sitting in front of it (which is why I want a sitter in front of our defence). Occasionally Pep experiments and leaves out a holding midfielder and look horrible defensively.Posts like this infuriates me. Nothing special?

Well, it might help if Varane is actually in the defence!I guess not
