Defensively he's generally ok but in possession he is almost as limited as Doucoure.

We have a magnificent collection of talentless players.

He’s not ok defensively, he’s got one niche and it’s when he’s up against a winger who likes to run with the ball.

Any team who play in behind him into space or between him and his centre back get plenty of joy. He struggles to mark space and understand angles, it’s absolute basics.

His only good performances are back to the wall stuff where he’s in 1v1s with no space in behind. It’s a myth that he’s a good defender, he’s a good 1-1 defender. Can’t defend in a unit.

I think he’s fine as a back up, but we need a better starting left back for sure.

Id genuinely rather have a reserve as back up.

He's just a woeful player. I am genuinely struggling to think of a player outside of the 3 prompted sides whos worse than him.

Its our own fault, we've known he's been poor for such a long time and yet we've not even took a gamble on a free agent to ease the suffering.
 
What's nuts is, Garbutt had a pretty good left foot delivery, and Robinson is killing the assists for Fulham. Made me think of Kenny, offered a deal and said no thanks, similar to Davies. Then we see how Godfrey and gordon and Holgate have faired. Suddenly there is a pattern of younger player brought through and then gone elsewhere.

Something isn't right, and it's not just specific to Dyche.

And in the summer we decided to splash out on a centre back who doesn’t get anywhere near the pitch. Just baffling.

yeah thanks Benitez sells Digne for £22m hugs him for £18m i know who I preferred. Last season Mykolenko showed a bit of promise looked a good solid defender, always looked poor going forward. This year totally regressed looks awful sell.
