IMO these players sucked yesterday:
Phil, Silvestre (had constant problems with Vålerenga player Stian Ohr in the 1st half), Pugh, Blanc (did some huge mistakes and had problems with tempo, tackling, timing...)

I totally agree, the defence played very poorly. If we had played like that against topper opposition, we would have been punished. The Vålerenga players were getting past the defence to easily and I am still not convinced with Blanc, he was too slow and made mistakes as you stated neo2002. I think we need another defender to partner Rio, Brown doesn't seem to be suited at that position and O'Shea is still young, some experienced but not as old as Blanc!

Agree, might be a huge problem. Blanc played some matches last season where he did good, but his major problem is (and has been) speed and positioning to compensate this problem. Ronny would be superb together with Rio, but that would probably never happen. O`Shea wasn`t good yesterday, but Blanc was worse...
