Against Bournemouth, there were some lapses on defense down our right flank.
For example, at one point the Bournemouth winger (or whomever was attacking on their far left at the time) was left wide open - maybe 15 yards or so to our nearest defender - deep in our territory with all the time in the world to do whatever he wanted.
Maybe this was due to a miscommunication between Otters and Danilo- maybe Danilo dropped his man intentionally expecting Otters to pick up.
Whatever the case - I'm far more confident when Walker starts - this sort of error doesn't seem to happen when Walker plays; as of late, Walker may be out-of-position a bit or prone to an errant pass - but I still trust him on defense far more than I trust Danilo.
Going forward, Danilo is the better option (by a bit - Danilo isn't world class going forward) - but for me, this does not outweigh Walker's defensive contribution.
