We all think we need strikers and wingers but across pre-season the defending has been atrocious, 2 seasons ago I said the defence was getting too slow and old and we still haven't done anything about it.

How many clean sheets did we keep last season 

Fair enough, many of those were from sitting extremely deep under Pulis, but if we go into next season with a back 4 of Dawson - McAuley - Olsson - Lescott we will need to be sat on the edge of our box because even 33 year old Kaka was made to look like Usain Bolt. If the Charleston midfield last night had any quality whatsoever we would have been embarrassed as the amount of times they got runners in behind was scary.
