Bryanp121, I don't disagree with that and utd have no doubt dropped points because of it.

However, with regards to City, the footballing nation were insisting that we had a dodgy defence even before our previously best defender and captain(Kompany), our new best central defender (Stones), and our new record buy left back (Mendy) were injured.

We had to put Delph in place of Mendy, Delph had never played that position before and was seen as a player to be shipped out and Mangala in place of Kompany/Stones. Mangala had been derided by all, including City fans as a waste of time and money with City trying to flog him off for a couple of years.

Strangely enough though we have the best defensive record in the League this season. As Bassman says, there should be strength in depth. That is good management.

All teams suffer through injuries. I was just interested in which teams had suffered most and the effects it had on their current league position.
