I see the superlatives are gushing for our defence once again, I'll hold my plaudits however. Palace put us under no pressure unlike any of the teams we had played previously. Our defence was able to hold it's shape and had plenty of time on the ball. Leicester will press the bejeesus out of us and we'll get more of an idea how good our defence is then.

Not to dig too far into it but yeah, I could see that being the case. Or at least a factor in it.
He was one of those who definitely suffered from Poch rotation policy last year
Going to happen isn’t it? We’ve hardly got a load of talent in his position.
Unless he does something completely fucking stupid, which isn't beyond the realms of possibility tbfh.
I really want this guy to do well and make himself #1 right back. He's got the attributes to be a great full back, but the possibility of a brain fart or erratic moment is always there. We'll see.
Even the best players are susceptible to those, TBF. Got to be worth a try, surely.
I wonder if he's off the shisha yet?
Yeah any deeper and we'd have a squad full of egos like at Real Madrid ...
After having seen how much of an improvement it makes to our shape to have a proper right back, I’d put up with a few brain farts if he could keep doing what he did yesterday.

Tbh one of his biggest problems has been trying to stay fit. People saying he's never got a run of games is only half true, as any time he has got one he's pulled a muscle two games into it.
I agree sometimes the brain farts have to be excused. . . As long as they are not in any game that has “final” in its title.
:defoe:
Played very well again makes him missing out for Sanchez against Woolwich and at the start look an even stranger decision
BT showed him highlighted for Leicesters equaliser. Shambolic walking pace defending he completely gave up on that right hand side which inevitably led to their goal.
He gets caught in more of a DM position for Ricardos goal. Simply not good enough that you can't show sufficient heart required to play in the prem. shame really as he has a decent amount of ability he just hasn't got the heart or head for it.

So...is he any good or is he in actual fact shite?
I still don't know...which makes me suspect the latter.

His use of the ball was scandalous.
