If you buy a centre half from Burnley, you get a Burnley centre half. He is very good defending deep where his man can’t turn him and leave him for dead, if, however, he tries to push up his lack of pace and slowness on the turn will always catch him out, also, if he is put in a position where he needs to think, he will often make the wrong decision.
He is good when he is defending in a low block system and when defending instinctively. He is not so good in any other system. He suited Ancelotti’s system well, I am not sure about Benitez’ system as he will probably not defend as deep as Ancelotti did.
