[Football] Adam Webster - our next England centre back

[Weststander]

I'd have loaned him out. Under 99% of football manager's tactical systems Sanchez would be the best keeper at the club. He's not that under RDZ's system, but given that RDZ will not be here for a decade I would have liked to have had him available for the next manager.

Klopp, Guardiola, Arteta will only play a first team goalie who’s great at distribution. TS interviewed an expert at 1:30 today who said football clubs are increasingly moving in this direction.

Love Webby but particularly recently I don't remember anything positive come from him taking it forward. It tends to be a short or panicked misplaced pass, leaving a big old CB lumbering back to his position. Doesn't compare well to Dunk's accurate long passes while staying in position

would agree but that's down to confidence , Dunk is drowning in it at the moment while Webster looks like a dead man walking....

Yes, he was a surprise weapon in that department, and effective. Seems that it's no longer required or encouraged.

Maybe my memory but I don't remember it being very effective

You're probably right but I'd have said the same 2 years ago

Fair enough . On reflection the opposition midfield would part as they failed to challenge him... he'd stride forward and usually lose the ball.

Sadly true

What really disappoints me with Webster is how he's no longer a threat when we're attacking set pieces. He chipped in with so many crucial goals in his early days but I no longer have any faith in him in either box.

When you say 'so many'. Three crucial goals I reckon - Arsenal, Man City & Chelsea.

They all do it yes, but Thiago Silva has more credit in the bank than Webby

Silva may well have more credit in the Chelsea supporters bank, but Webster has more credit in a Albion supporters bank, or should have.
