Thanks Wests. So as suspected, he fares a lot worse defensively vs offensively. We shouldn't be surprised by that of course, seeing as he's not a defender by trade - which has been the argument for having Wallace at LB.

Looking at those stats, it´s fairly easy to see what he should work on to become a better fullback. Defensive positioning for clearances and blocking crosses being the main things. Should be achievable without interfering with the rest of his game.

When everyone jumped on me I was saying he don’t stop the ball going into the box enough hence why we concede so often down the left
Decent going forwards in fairness to him

Just seeing his name on the team sheet can make you spiral off 😂 |

OCD Dk😂
Fair point though, suppose just got fed up people raving about him during games and I’m sat there thinking that’s his fault etc etc
Might be interesting see him further up park

What I would like see manning do is replace Eze on set pieces seems to have far better dead ball delivery

Be better off with Wallace behind him IMO. Unlikely to get as many games in that position though, as others have said. Some argue he can still improve defensively. At 23, not so sure if he can to the level required but would love to be proved wrong. |

Today Ryan made 3 succesful tackles, had 2 interceptions, blocked 2 crosses, and made 3 clearances.
