Fix one problem, create another

Tbh I don't think he is ever going to be a defender so might as well try him in midfield, I know he has played there before.

Would give it a whirl for one game. Mina and Branthwaite behind.

Absolutely not.
Even on Fifa mobile 22 lol

I actually feel sorry for Ben. Since his arrival he has been asked to play across the whole back line. He has given his all but really needs to settle into a position!

Can't head a ball. Positionally shocking.

Is fast. Puts in a tackle.

No way be able to play in midfield. Holgate is better on the ball than him...and that's a low bar.

Yeah but he isn't a very good one though, he ain't a LB or a RB and tbh he isn't good enough in the air to play CB.

i rate him mate tbh

I don't think so. He is not comfortable with the ball at his feet and struggles to play the ball forward. I actually don't know what his best position is because he lacks attacking threat to be a modern full back but lacks aerial ability to be a top PL centre half.

Midfield I just can't see that ever working, unless we are planning to become a park the bus team who don't even want to counter attack.

He used to play in midfield for York City I think

Worth a go.
Did it for a season on loan at Shrewsbury and got player of the season think he got in the team of the year for the division as well.
He is fast aggressive just what we need.
Only problem may be his use of the ball

He doesn't seem the same since his covid mate, he just seems to be lacking something whereas last season he was top of the tables for things like blocks, interceptions, and tackles
