I’ve given the lad a lot of stick, in the main because he’s never really convinced me that he feels he belongs at this level. It felt like we had paid £40m for a guy who was happy to come in and be 4th choice CB. He had never really challenged those in front of him and given the impression that he thought he could be 1st choice.
Tonight he was fucking immense when he came on. I gave him MOTM even though I have had wanks last longer than the time he was on the pitch.
Fantastic effort and a continuation of more confident performances this season.
