d Is he though? I often see Howson being brusheoff the ball and mistiming tackles.

His marking around the edge of the area is also particularly poor, he often loses his man which leads to chances being created.

I also have to point out that keeping the ball is the best form of defending, as Spain have proven over the years. Fox is clearly far superior when it comes to ball retention.
