bluehuddo Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Since Joey signed his new contract last summer, he seems to be forgotten with lescott having a greta season and stubbsy finding some form. This coming despite him staarting just about every game this season. How has his season actually been as I believe we would be screwed if we didnt have him in the team??

aaron Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 very true. joey yobo is a outstanding defender and without him we wouldnt be where we are today. so ye ok he hoofs the ball most times but is a solid defender and this season is another unsung hero.

Dunny the Blue Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I'm a big fan of Joey Yobo, really glad he signed that new contract cos I had huge fears that he'd be goin and leavin us in the shit. I think its safe to say him and Lescott have been a revalation!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 250 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 A lot of the time people talked about Yobo..well during the last couple of seasons,was to highlight a mistake or two.He did make one or two high profile mistakes....and many myself not included wanted to talk about these rather than the excellent defender he is.So I guess Yobo's more than happy at the moment he's not the topic of conversation. When the incredeble Lescott is allowed to move in full time to his position in central defence,then what a partnership he and Yobo will make.With Hibbert back to his best and a'fit' left back plus a great goalkeeper in Howard then surely that will be some defence. And I believe with some class players around Yobo,maybe Fernandes in front of him,then I think we will see an even better Yobo!! You watch luckypool,with poor old Hypia on his last legs,and with all those dollars.....looking across the park at our central defenders....and realising that there are some things money just cant buy! They might end up spending a fortune and getting a Kroldrup!!!.....That would be a shame. Yobo and Lescott........PRICELESS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxon Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 yobo is a class defender, he has made some mistakes but dosent everyone no one is perfect, but he is solid strong and good in the air what more do we want, him and lescott are great together.

Joe Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 He is one of those guys that you always expect to come out and have a good game, which he does. He isn't fancy but he is solid and gets the job done. He should get more recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I think he's awesome, he's fast, strong, solid tackling, powerful heading, he's got it all. Well maybe he aint got the best concentration which is a possible reason to some mistakes but I think with Lescott by the side of him Lescott will be able to keep joey in order.

thebluenose Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 massive improvement on last season (the set up for rooney was embarresing for him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFCfanatic Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Joey is class. Every member has had a good seson this year (bar the obvious one or two lol). If Joey doesn't get the recognition then what about Super Cars'! He's been a ledge this year I really hope he signs an extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluenose Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 about cars. hes had an ok season. there was a period of about 5 or 6 games where he was complete shite however he took a turn for the better and put in some great performances. however cars has been talked quite a bit on this board this season. yobocop hasnt. he and lescott will be ace next season with a good left back and hibbo next to em. and with howard in goal man im excited. a great defense.

Blue4Ever Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Joe is quality just need a bit more concentration and would be the perfect defender. He's had a great season and him and Jolean will be the perfect partnership for years to come. but I do worry about Arteta's future....

Pat Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Am a big Fan 2 & he has become more consistent. However, he doesnt completely lack still that -> UNSY Moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillaGTiR Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 yobo is a great defender, he has made some mistakes but im sure i could name alot of players that have 2.. with him and lescott in the back we are strong we just need a good left back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jartyjones Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 yobo is a great defender, he has made some mistakes but im sure i could name alot of players that have 2.. with him and lescott in the back we are strong we just need a good left back Joey Yobo is prone to the odd mistake but have you noticed that he makes fewer when Alan Stubbs is alongside him , ? Stubbsy is always down his ear , making sure he does get shut of the ball , and " yobocops " pace can cover for Stubbsy , I think that's why our defence has been outstanding this season , most goals to have beaten us have been long range potential ' goals of the season ' eg Taylor , portsmouth ... drohba lampard .. chelski , jenas ...spurs , ... yeah our defence will be even better next season , so with decent signings , a bit of luck with injuries and proper refs , who knows ?

TrueBlue Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Precisely Jart, Yobo needs someone to lead him and keep him in order and we all know Stubbsy is the best of em to keep a playin in line, but I do think Lescott could do the job as well so think our defence is looking good as long as we get a decent left back in the line up.

GoldfishMemory Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Rapidly becomming the new Davey Wier of our team, no noticable heroics or goal scoring but soild & dependable and a credit to himself. I will remember always when we played Arsenal at Goodison & Joey kept him in his pocket all afternoon, that was a defensive lesson for any player.

StevO Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 now joey has learnt to just get rid instead of using his fancy footwork so often, his mistakes seem to have vanished. a very important part of our great defence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
