Finnan is a top defender. Perhaps you never noticed that we never get ripped apart in a game down our right hand side, like we have done down the left (Galatasary for example). That's not co-incidence, that's down to Finnan having excellent positional sense. Of course there will be examples of him being caught out occassionally, just like every other defender in the world and yes he got caught in the air for the 2nd goal on Saturday, but most full backs in the world are poor in the air. The key is to stop the cross at source, and this is where we are very weak on the left. As posted above, there are numerous examples of top-drawer crosses from Finnan over the past couple of season. Finnan was part of a back four that gave one of the most consistent seasons EVER as far as clean sheets is concerned last season. That is a huge compliment, given some of the defenders this great club has had in the past. The argument being made by the OP is just ridiculous, imho.
