Yes, Dazz, that's why Rio was there. He was covering the space behind Neville, at the front post. In that case, the other defenders should pull in one position across to fill the gaps, but Silvestre stayed where he was, basically right in front of Heinze, asleep.

I don't know if you have a huge understanding of how defending works or how there is much more to it than getting your head to high balls and blocking shots. Those are the basics.
