For a fourth choice defender he was a fine addition to the squad. He looked decent enough in early Carling cup performances this season too but lately he's been absolutely terrible. It really does look like he's on his last legs to me. And he couldn't have chosed a worse possible time to regress. Just imagine if we have to field him against Porto in mid-week. I think I'll cry.True Gooner said:Silvestre - 5 - On his last legs
Yup, it's not about him being ****. He's just old and needs to play at a club that offers plenty of defence in front of the back four.
How good was Vermaelen though? Covered both Eboue and Silvestre! I know it was only Burnley but his anticipation and marking was top class.
