Did Young get caught out of position much?

Didn't notice that myself, although that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

But don't use the second Argentina goal as an example - he had two players to mark (both of whom were too big to be picked up by a FB anyway). That was down to whichever senior player was supposed to be organising the defence.

From what I've seen Young looks like a handy defender, and one who can play as well. (Remember, everyone slagged off Ashley Cole's defensive abillity at first.)
