….I think it’s composure and quality on and off the ball, Zat. He’s got a Rolls Royce engine but he’s not got Rolls Royce quality.
The top ones have physicality that makes them superior, they run alongside strikers knowing they’re in control. I actually see a bit of that in Branthwaite. Godfrey is raw on and off the ball, he reminds me lots of Keown. Nightmare to play against, though.
When I see our line up, I’m happy to see him as first choice CB. I’m a big fan of Godfrey, I have been since he signed but you have to reassess your view, I wouldn’t pick him for England.
i don’t want to be critical of individuals but there was no Holgate or Kenny today. I don’t think it was a coincidence that United didn’t have a free kick in a very dangerous position around the edge of the box.
