    just doing my workings on here..

    Ferdinand-Dunne-Caulker 123 4 = one goal every 30.75 min
    Ferdinand-Onuoha-Caulker 45 1= one every 45 (obviously)
    Ferdinand-Caulker 462 11 = one goal every 42 min

    That's pretty damning for the first combo but surprisingly not a lot in the other two (although the middle one will be a second half of one of our thrashings - Spurs?).

    I suppose I'd conclude that we're still a better 442 team at the moment (that could change with coaching). Irrespective, that needs to improve. It would be nice to see a Hill - Onuoha one for comparison but I think that's unlikely.

    Are you advocating a return to a youth policy Stan?

    Webbie and McClintock best I can remember for us. I struggle to find a pair of CB's from our squad now who I feel comfortable with in the PL.

    Don't think they played much together, but you'd not find many better pairings than than Wicks and McDonald.

    Unfair comparison, but the best I've seen at club level were Baresi and Costacurta.

    McDonald and Peacock were the best hooped partnership I've known.
