Or maybe he just isn’t good enough in either. Can’t defend to save his life and too small to play in midfield. Only my opinion, happy for others to differ.

He'd good enough for midfield, he just needs more in the attacking third.

I think he's doing very well to play a position that is pretty bloody weird, it takes intelligence and a lot of restraint to stay in position. Not sure I totally like it, but that's a different matter. Still very young.

He has been atrocious defensively in the last few games. Saw him looking at Werner and just ignoring him. He did it for the goal.

He hasn't been atrocious. If you look at it from an objective stand point he's out muscled bigger opponents and defended well in general. Hey, you see what you want to see. That's football for most people.

There’s such an overreaction from some on here. They want perfection from a young player. He will be inconsistent, that’s fairly standard for a youngster

I would argue this is his break out season in the first team as well

There is, and that's fine, it's a safe space! But I think they are very wrong, we'll know in about 3 years!
