I think this is a sensible argument. At the moment in the back 4 Rio is the man who is consistently running for and just missing the bus. For me it should be Isla Cauker Ned and Yun at the back anyway. We'll give Isla the benefit of a bad game because he can move. We need pace at this level at the back and Rio is the weak link at the moment. As sweeper, perhaps, he would have more time to see the game. However, and at the risk of some QPR fans throwing there ballot papers at me and being made to quieten down by the speaker, Henry is younger, fitter and although it may alarm some people here, better at the moment than Rio. Rio is a better player than his brother, don't get me wrong. But, not that much better. If he wasn't Rio Ferdinand, triffick lad, fantastic boy, would he be in this team at the moment? Ned may not be technically better than Rio but he is stronger, younger, faster and for strikers now, more scary to deal with. Ned and Cauker will grow. Rio and Cauker won't. Also I just don't think Rio is up to playing every game. Harry puts too much on sentiment and not on form. | ![](/images/avatars/1510.gif) |
