The short answer is yes it is. My view is that it's just as much a defensive problem, infact probably more so then it is an attacking one, but it's a problem nontheless. As it stands right now, the two Manchester clubs are going to challenge for the title with ourselves, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham battling it out for the other two top four slots. Neither Arsenal nor Chelsea can defend, while Tottenhams problem is that if Adebayor gets injured they don't have a viable alternative (we'd be in the same boat with Suarez if it was long term). Broadly though, our main reason we won't challenge is because we don't defend well enough IMHO. Prncipally, we need an absolutely top class centre half.
