Taylor Harwood-Bellis | On loan at Southampton

Look at Foden at 17 compared to now. Foden is notably broader and bigger, just through natural growth. Taylor only turned 19 in January. He'll be clearly very physical by his early 20s. He's already a pretty big lad for his age. He may not make it, or he might, but either way it won't be for a lack of physicality. This photo was Jan 2020, so he's likely bigger already, and he wasn't exactly small stood next to Stones even then:



Physically he’ll be fine; he’s like Dias and Terry stylistically and in stature - circa 6’1, moderately paced and neutralises and physical flaws with focused intensity. The only issue is him and Dias wouldn’t work together, and Ruben likely isn’t going anywhere for the next 5 years so he’d be better off forging a career for himself elsewhere, and maybe if he becomes as good as he potentially could down the line we could bring him back.

I could see him having a Michael Keane-type career - a few years at Burnley, then move on to somewhere like Everton and win England caps. It’s the same with Doyle - he’d be better suited to a team that moves the ball forward quickly where he can utilise his full passing range.

Could you explain that to me, please?

THB is a right sided player. Dias is normally a left sided player when playing with Stones. Laporte snd Ake play LCB, so Dias plays on the right side for them,

Accordingly, why would THB & Dias not be able to play with each other?
