Andy O'Brien And Aaron Hughes Wouldn't Get In The Team?

Souness: "If we had kept Andy O'Brien here, people would be screaming and saying why did did we do that when we have got a young emerging centre-half in Steven Taylor? Between Steven and Peter Ramage, they have acquitted themselves so well that I don't think we have missed Andy or Aaron. Peter has proved he can play right across the back four, as has Steven, because he's played at left and right-back.

"We have replaced two good players with two good players who are only going to get better. Peter played at centre-back in the first half last week and showed he can play there. That is his favoured position, but he's played at left-back, right-back, and he's just delighted to be in the team."
