[Lycan]

Benatia and Boateng also.

I like Leandro Castan and Bonucci as well but maybe not quite as good.

 

[Alan]

Castan is really good but I wouldn't yet say world class until I see how he does partnered with someone other than Benatia.

Bonucci is definitely up there.

 

[Lycan]

5 goal 'thriller'. :blah-sleeping1:

Second half was alright Lycan.

Manolas is a top centre back, Roma are sorted in that position.

Nobody mentioned Ramos yet? One for the future, Laporte at Athletic is just outstanding.

 

[Johnny75]

Ramos and Kompany are still world class centre backs.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's keeping Kompany on the pitch that's the problem. Easily misses 15 games a season these days.

Not impressed with Mangala so far. Looks like a very slightly better version of Sakho.

 

[Johnny75]

I like Mangala and think he'll get better over the next few seasons. I was disappointed Kalas was loaned out abroad and neither he nor Zouma isn't getting much of a game anytime soon and it would have been nice to see them progress quicker as I think they are excellent players.

I think this is a problem with many big clubs, they are wasting talent by not playing them and so killing their development.

 

[Alan]

Isn't Kalas more of a fullback?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No, Kalas is a centre half.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Derby have had the lions share of the possession so far, but have yet to force the Leeds goalkeeper into action.

 

[Premier Quality]

Ibe clearly learning the liverpool way - massive dive, should have been booked

 

[Parkins left foot]

Ibe clearly learning the liverpool way - massive dive, should have been booked

Fully agree with that - don't know how he got away with it

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Oh dear...

 

[Parkins left foot]

Unlucky, but that's what happens when you are at that end of the table - someone needed to get close to Hughes & stop the cross coming in

 

[Parkins left foot]

Ibe clearly has a penchant for going down easily, but wins a FK in a dangerous position as a result & Derby score a second from that.

Doubt that there is any way back for Leeds now

 

[FrankMunro-371]

2 - 0 Derby. Corner comes in, everyone chasing each other around, but they forgot to actually mark Buxton.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Leeds have no real attacking threat - when your main striker is in your half of the field as much as he is in the oppositions you have a problem

 

[NorwayFB]

Ipswich also 2-0 up,vs Charlton

And Wigan continue to impress,down 1 at home to Sheff Wed.Man down too.

 

[NorwayFB]

3-0 Ipswich
