Oh yeah, and I don’t mean to judge him on one match in the midfield. Only that so far he’s looked so much more at home as a full back so far and that we might find it’s his best position after all.
Tbh he has looked better in his roles at full back than he did in the game he played at midfield. I wonder if he might be fully converted into a full back? because he has everything you want in a full back in the modern game.
He is turning into an excellent player but we have to keep our expectations for him in check. We’ve seen with Ferguson that for young players, development isn’t linear and sometimes they’ll have difficult patches.
He wasn’t bad, he wasn’t great either. It wasn’t the best game for a debut and he and Gilmour were a bit thrown under the bus by De Zerbi, they were never going to be able to match McGinn, Luiz and Kamara.
