Very poor defensively. The board gambled at the beginning of the season due to the relatively solid performances of him and Delph at left back but this decision was a mistake and it has cost us this season. Mendy can’t be relied upon to stay fit and we need to sign a new left back as our number one LB. Too late for this season as we won’t get the quality we need in Jan but this, a DM and possibly a new striker should be the signings in the summer.
 
He’s put in an impossible situation. He’s asked to do a job and he has the balls to stand up and be counted. Unfotunately his lack of experience and physical attributes make him a fucking awful defender. But he doesn’t hide and gives his all.
 
Great cross for the third goal, poor for everything else.

Also Bernie is more a 7/10 midfielder, at least, Zinchenko is nowhere near him so I don't understand that.

He's fodder, nothing more nothing less. Plays when our second choice, makeshift, left back is suspended sure.
 
From the ridiculous to the sublime in ten minutes , he's had enough chances and he isnt good enough playing left back at this level and he wont get a sniff in our midfield , will always be a willing squad player and has a great attitude and workrate , but i cant see him being at the club next season , a move to a club like Wolves or similar would be good for for his development. Nothing against the lad ,but just not quite good enough
 
Made up for the mistake with a sublime cross. That should help his confidence.

But my concern is that seeing he is only being utilised as a 3rd choice left back ,a position he is not at all built for nor is his preference, could prove a reason for him to move on come summer. The boy has great attributes, good passer/crosser, good shot etc. Shame we don't play him in his preferred position.
