Does he ever lose the ball? Everything he does is so classy. Feel like you could play him centre mid and he’d still excel. He’s improved beyond measure in the last 12 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No English CB even comes close to him this season. It's absolutely criminal that he isn't getting a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally hard to make a case for any other right footed CB to play ahead of him, he's pretty much played every minute for us for a couple of seasons too.

villa4europe Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 To be fair to him John stones is a good player and will rstart if he's fit But then we all know what garbage comes after that and the bullshit reasons as to why 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Playing at RB he doesn’t turn back and pass it 5 yards to the CB so I’m a huge fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United bench for next four months and still breeze into the first 11. Branthwaite will probably get a call up as 4th/5th choice for experience etc. Ez getting called up and I think being the only outfield player not to feature in either England friendly said it all, token gesture. I wonder if Portugal have ever approached him? They probably have given Poland got Cash in reasonably quickly but he probably dosen't feel it would be right playing for them. He's easily good enough for international football so such a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Class at CB, class at RB. I might actually prefer him at RB but that could just be a Cash problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 He's a great player and one of the most important in our starting 11. I do thing he scores so highly on his 'duels' stats because he doesn't go in for them as much as he could/should do. (See the Newcastle match and how easily it was to cut inside him/get a cross off) However, the positives he gives us when playing far, far, far outweigh that side of things.

Kiwivillan Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Getting a scan after that collision is standard procedure. Doesn't mean it's a bad injury unless scan finds something 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but imagine if had not brought Lenglet in and a line up of Chambers & Carlos. I’m glad we have the depth at Cb but Konsa will be a big miss.
