Defensive prowess
come on, the kid isn't quite cut art fo defending but he's doing his best in an unfamiliar position and that's all tha can ask for.
He got caught flat footed for the Birmingham goal last night and let Ivan Toney in for a free header when Brentford came to oakwell last week. I'm not knocking him because it's not really his game but even though it's no contest in an ariel match up between him and Toney, thaz got to at least mek it difficult fo Toney even if tha not gonna win the header and he dint do that.
Last night he didnt anticipate the back heel and it was a lapse in concentration. Am sure he'll learn. As I say, I'm not knocking him. I think he's a brilliant footballer but in the middle of the park surely. Well, that's where I want to see him play anyway. Its admirable that he's stepped in at left wing back and contributes very well for the team going forward. However, to say he has defensive prowess is over exaggerated journalistic drivel.
