Should start every game at CB next to Colo.

 

Improving all the time and has turned into a very reliable PL defender. Good on him.

I wrote him off as being poor as well.  The run at CB has definitely helped him and I think he's a lot better there, but he was more than competent today at full back.

Was canny, although should have done a lot better on Drogba for that goal.

 

I think that's the only thing which counts against him as a long term CB.He's got a great leap, but up against a big forward who is good in the air he will sometimes get overpowered.

I find it hard to condemn defenders for losing to drogba in aerial duels mind, he won every one he was involved in, we'd have lost today if Mourinho had started him and costa upfront together from the start.

 

It's the same for defenders like Colo and Mbiwa though. They will win most aerial tussles due to their timing, but there will always be a point where a bigger forward will just win one that counts. It's why I've always felt that we need a big commanding CB to play alongside Colo or previously Mbiwa.
