Well, they were part of the team that fell apart so they've got to take some stick for that but there was a brilliant run of games where they kept it tight and there was decent defending throughout the season (usually whenever Squillaci wasn't present) along with the errors that seem to dominate the landscape. They weren't perfect but considering we're an attacking team and a rather inconsistent one at that, they did a pretty good job from open play, there was plenty of defending like a unit (Clichy aside, who seemingly went to the Adebayor School of Offsides) and composure, if not too much composure at times given our reluctance to HOOOOOOF when there's any doubt.
