Does anyone know if he has a bit of history playing there when he was starting out or is it just a case of he's left footed?

That position is starting to look like a problem one for us. ELF looked out of sorts there too.
Really enjoying this, both teams playing football …
… Trai Hume has been our best player so far

I want to see Mayenda there. I know it would probably cost us defensively but attacking wise that's where his best football came
That’s exactly where my heads at tbh. Press and break with pace. If we’re likely to have much less of the ball next season it wouldn’t actually change things for us all that much.

Good half, like the look of the keeper, wish Talbi would back himself more on the outside
Sorry Le Fee but I’ve a new lover in Xhaka even in a pre season game you can see Xhaka oozes quality

Canny half. Good shape. Sadiki has been really good in the middle, the assurance of Xakha has helped him massively. We need more up top though.
Personally think diarra is playing well
that right hand side is good.
adingra is frustrating me, he looked shattered after 12 minutes and doesn’t look like he wants to get up and down the line
I’d like talbi to be tried off the left as looks comfortable coming inside but I’m liking his work rate and touches today.
Xhaka is a level above, reinildo looks composed. Shout out to Hume Ballard and Roefs too.
I think everyone has played well today so far except our left hand side, not judging jones he’s out of position but yeah adingra is frustrating a lot

Another solid half for the starters. Reinildo, Roefs and Xhaka all look comfortable. H.Jones is doing himself no harm at all this summer. Wide players look so raw, which can be a good or bad thing.
Only complaint is that I want more goal threat.

see you there mateThere's a few of us at the Museum if you’re passing Dave …
… hopefully outside in beautiful sunshine
Ballard and Hume being tagged as ‘not up to the PL’ which is ridiculously premature in my opinion. They’re both determined players, both young and both well regarded by Le Bris.
But, of course they don’t have that PL experience in the bank, they have to find that …
… I think both will improve rapidly.
