If he was a better short passer then maybe he could play holding, I think that's his achilles heel, he pings the short passes a bit to hard, he's ok on 1-2's, but his passing on the ball is too weak for midfield. His crossing and shooting has improved, as has his ability to carry the ball at his feet (that's beyond recognition), but he's a defender for me, he'd be caught short CM (and he'd get a HELL of a lot of yellows in there). He is probably vying with Sess, Mig & Jimmy as my fave player at the club
Bardsley out and a complete ****ing meltdown..............................just shows as to how weak the squad really is..... Still time to put this right though.
