I'd like to see that. He should be third in line in front of stones and Ake. Obviously not as good as stones but looking long term.

Really poor for the penalty. Don't think he was anywhere near as bad as some are suggesting overall though. A lot is asked of him in that back 4. I said pre-match a little breather would do him good whilst we've got a fit ake and stones. We'll regret not using them whilst they're fit.
Good instincts for the goal and very intelligent to get himself out of the way for fodens winner.

Agree he’s been off this season compared to last, perhaps in part due to injury. And today was poor and he cost us a goal with the penalty.
But the story of his game today isn’t complete without mentioning his jump to clear the way for Foden’s goal. Great awareness, great execution and athleticism.

For defenders, brain fart is the worst short coming. And unfortunately there is no cure for brain fart. It is not a matter of maturity, it is more of an instinct of the players nerves. For team mates, it is like you have a timer bomb just next to you. And he could make it like he can suddenly become playing for the other team any moment from anywhere. It is not like he tumbles or make mistakes, it is like he suddenly wants to play smart in the most stupid way. It is very stressful for his team mates.
Not sure what some were watching. Badly timed tackle for that pen, yes, that was poor, but he was good otherwise, IMO. Played especially well in the 1st half when he stopped a few dangerous attacks, scored a goal as well. He got out of Fodens way for the winner, yes, but also he played that long ball to Nunes that resulted in the 1st Foden goal as well.
