[Tin-Tin]

Assuming he was rested for the Man U game, although we have more chsmce of getting all 3 against Bournemouth

Yup. United is the ‘bigger’ game but which one are we most likely to win?

Actually I’m not even sure, Bournemouth was away and we don’t win away.

 

[argietoffee]

Our best defender at the moment

 

[sageyefc]

Looks boss at CB, comfortably our best there, fat man himself says he's a CB and shouldn't be played rb, so what does fat man do, plays him rb

 

[hktoffee]

Should play center back. Clearly struggling at rb.

Looks like Kenny is the best option ar rb for the time being. The boy got a rest today.

 

[Anna]

As the above have said, looks lost at right back, much more comfortable in the middle. Vlasic being ahead of him didn't help him today though.

 

[St Domigos]

Very poor today.

I appreciate he's a centre back but the lack of effort (closing down) and desire was shocking.

Still he's young and was left badly exposed by Vlasic.

 

[Abraders]

Not a right back.

Can't be doing him any favours playing him there after performing so admirably at centre back.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Not a right back at all. He is probably our best center back Sam is using Koeman's playbook.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Him and Williams kept a few clean sheets together then they get dropped, messed about, now he's RB and we are conceeding.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Holgate was dangerous down the right for a spell in the second half and Oumar should have scored with a header from his cross.
But he scuffed it.

 

[twoblue]

Holgate made a mistake today, but he didn’t go hiding even played out of position. Liked the way he applied himself in the attacking half. I think he will be a quality centre half over the next 3 years

 

[The Blue Watch]

Not a right back. I thought we’d covered this Everton.

 

[Woolly Blue]

Looks much better going forward from right-back this season then he did last season.

He's never going to be an attacking wing back, but he's half way decent cover at right-back, and yes, I do know he made a bad mistake today and was far from perfect, but he hasn't alone in that today.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Concerning to think the manager deemed it the right move to put him full back today and stick with the completely hapless Keane.
