Fair enough, of course we have better players, but they're still not ordinary youngsters, a bit more faith in them wouldn't have gone amiss imo.
Like when O'Shea was played at CB and was making a hash of things and Pique was brought on at HT and the defensive was far more solid, was that v Boro? Pique could have started rather than O'Shea, or against teams like Derby...
Pique had the ability, he was fine v Roma and Arsenal, a few errors but nothing as nerve-wracking as when Heinze was forced there or something...
In the grand scheme of things this doesn't make much of a difference since there will be other CBs, it's nice to have a budding superstar though.
