For the most part our defence is sound. Pace, while important, isn't the only thing a player needs beside skill. I've seen slow players beat faster, more skillful players by positioning themselves appropriately. Hyperia gave away the goal Viduka scored by gently heading the ball to Alan Smith's chest, he then lobbbed it over the top to big 'dukes (as he's called in Australia) who scored an easy goal. That whole passage could have been avoided if Hyperia and his fellow defenders had positioned themselves better.
But hey pace is really important too!
