ORIGINAL: Harry Lime I've just gathered the emotional strength to write this. Sweet Jebus, we were awful on Thursday night. Dreadful. We looked laboured, our passing was diabolical, we kept putting pressure on ourselves and we looked terrified whenever Fiorentina got the ball. We froze and they outclassed us. We can count ourselves lucky that we're going back to Goodison with just a two goal deficit. Firstly, it has become patently clear that we need a an athletic, international class right back. Hibberts a good clubman and will do a job when asked to but he is not a first choice in my eyes. Neville is worse. He lacks any pace and his crossing is absolutely abysmal and just because he's club captain it doesn't mean that he should be accomodated just for the sake of it. Secondly, Jolean Lescott is not a left back. Moyes has to bite the bullet and make the choice between Jagielka, Lescott and Yobo at the centre back berth and Baines should be locked down in the left back role. Thirdly. Defensive midfield. I love Lee Carsley. Alongside Arteta and Cahill, he is one of Moyes' best three signings. He's commited, breaks up play and always looks for the simple pass. Unfortunately I believe that age is just catching up with him and we desperately need somebody to take up his mantle. Here's what I think our best team will be if Moyes makes a couple of key signings. GK. Howard RB. NEW CB. Lescott CB. Jagielka/ Yobo LB. Baines DM. NEW RM. Arteta CM. Cahill LM. Pienaar ST. Yakubu ST. Johnson SUBS: Wessels Jagielka/ Yobo Neville/ Carsley Osman/ Fernandes (if the real Fernandes stands up before his loan ends) Anichebe/ Vaughan/ Baxter Incidently, I take it that you've heard that James Vaughan has been ruled out for the rest of the season again. Same knee that ruled him out for six months last year. I'm really concerned about this. He's a promising young player but this knee could dog his whole career. I think Moyes should start bringing Jose Baxter through next season. Maybe a bit of league cup experience and get him around the first team players. I agree in some respect. Jags has been a revelation at CB but so as Lescott who is also a great left back but is looking a little uncomfortable there. Lescott wants to be in CB and Baines has had a niggling injury to his ankle all season, Nuno Valente lacks pace. I think the big disappointment was Yobo the other night, he just looses concentration too many times. But I do prefer Nev at right back at the moment over Hibbo. Its a straight forward job for him being that the mid gives him too much space to actually use his limited footballing brain and he backs up Arteta well. When Hibbo was suspended and injured Nev replaced him and we hadnt let a goal past us in the League since January - Hibbo comes in and Nev is a bit useless being played in Midfield we let in sloppy goals. Who plays in the center is a big problem. The Arteta, Osman, Pienaar with Cahill in front has been excellent for most of the season, with Arteta and Pienaar swapping sides all the time, untill injuries and the african nations popped up. Osman has done excellently in the centre of the pitch, even stepping up for an england cap by media reports. Cahill is great but loves to be forward more, he's not the greatest passer either but he can hold and win the ball, so either of the two would work. On the subject of DM rumour has it we're eyeing this monster - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL_bZAdOKhk LORIK "The destructor" CANA for £5mill. But have competition from Bayern Munich and Roma. He looks something speical and he's only 24.
