45 | Abdukodir Khusanov - 2025/26

Just needs to be careful he doesn’t get a reputation around those shoulder to shoulder challenges or referees might start giving some very soft pens against us.

In general he gets the balance absolutely spot on, seems to read what the referee will allow.
Hopefully, as he gets better positionally, he’ll not need to do them so often.

Think his size gives him a bit of leeway. Leeway that Haaland doesn’t get because of his size.
 
He's turning into our first choice defender for me,strong as a ox with pace to burn,he's not bad with his disruption either.
 
He stands his ground or puts his leg in the way of attackers foot. He does it in such a way that it doesn't look like a natural foul and majority of referees would consider it a "coming together".

Is he reckless or he smart? I don't know but anticipation is difficult to teach in football.
 
I don't see how Dias ousts him from the team, other than to give him a rest. The only problem is we now rely heavily on his pace to get us out of trouble and if he were to get injured for a lengthy spell, we could struggle. He was absolutely brilliant today. My motm.
 
Thought we’d see the best of him in 2 or 3 seasons and he’d slowly take over the first team shirt. He’s just come in and took it. Was worried we’d have to take a few reds on the chin as he matured but he manages his aggressive side to a tea. Top centre back who is going to be the absolute best - think those red cartel commentators can see it and choking on the words after his debut.

Thankfully Nunes has pace and he showed it a few times today.

Those 2 totally close down our back right side.. and Cucurella created nothing really apart from maybe 1 time.
