I saw the same and it raises questions about his mentality for me. Don’t think he lacks in ability it’s just whether he has the drive and commitment to make it here - we can’t be carrying passengers in the middle of the park.I could well be wrong, and no doubt someone will tell me :)
But I thought I saw him pussying out of a couple of tackles last season?
I think pep will try him at right back .wasn't fabian Delph are left back when we had sane and Sterling on the wings can see us doing the same this season gotta have players taking on those packed defencesI wouldn’t be surprised if we see him playing at full back at some point this season. He’s tall, strong, rapid, aggressive in the tackle and comfortable on the ball.
I think it’s easy to have a negative opinion on him because of how little Pep seemed to trust him last season. He hardly got minutes, even in games we were done and dusted in, so easy to compare to Phillips and we know how that turned out.
I hope he’s leaned on a bit more this season, interested to see what he can do.
