Decent defender I would disagree with very very good one he cuts out a lot of needed over the top heriocs by just good placement sheparding players away from dangerous situtions and cutting out angles sure you dont seem him flying in very often but thats because of good placement mainly. Average going foward I would say he was good going foward but lacks pace. As for the hoofing it foward and being not a good passer i think thats a joke he doesnt try 60 yard passes that often for sure but giving the ball to a liverpool player he is exceptional. I wish he did offer a bit more support sometimes going foward as when he does do it it often gives us a edge down the right hand side. That being said i think his positional play might suffer. Also its nice to see a player who seem comfortable with the ball with both feet.
