Angelino

I'd say he's definitely worth another chance. As others have said, it's not as if he's any worse than Zinchenko, and while obviously we should be looking for improvements, if we're going to have a youngish backup, they might as well not be taking up a space in the squad.

I would say he has very decent speed

I can absolutely guarantee he hasn't. Might be ok over 6-10 yards, then it's all over, so any kind of quick winger has him on toast.

If he had pace, he'd be better at everything but he just hasn't. He's sharp in the brain, but not the body.

I hoped he might make it as a wide mid at City but there is no place for him by comparison to the others. I wish it was different, I like him.

He used to be pretty fast. Not sure what happened tbh! Genuinely was compared to Alaba a lot when he was younger due to his energy up and down the flank. I don't think he's slow now, but I'd defo not call him fast anymore.

He's still got energy, just not pace. The further he has to run, the further behind he gets, like Kolarov.

Growth maybe slowed him ?

He's got about 2 seconds when an opponent gets the ball, where he can nick it, before they run off.

I really hoped we could find a niche for him but we just can't keep having fullbacks who can't defend.

I don't even think.he qualifies as a fullback, he's a wingback & we don't use them.

His bad positioning makes him appear slower than he actually is IMO.
