All his mistakes are because he feels uncomfortable with his positioning and it's usually when he's come over to the right side and is concerned about the massive space he's leaving over to his left. Normally he'd not have to worry about that as there would be the left side centre half (Cooper or Struijk) to cover. So yes his mind is elsewhere as he's out of his natural position and it's exactly the same when in possession as well. Not sure if you're aware but he's not very good with his left foot and so he can't just turn inside and play the square pass to Cooper etc as he would usually, instead he's limited to looking solely to his right which severely limits his options.

Just play him in the position he's played his whole career and he'll be fine.

Sorry bud. We'll have to agree to disagree. If he is uncomfortable at centre back then he needs dropping.

If he doesn't understand that when you are under pressure in possession of the ball it's time to get rid then it's curtains.

If he doesn't understand that he has to sweep behind his partner when the big centre forward has dominated all game in the air then its curtains.

If he doesn't understand when his manager has talked all week about giving cheap free kicks away that it's a bad idea to give cheap free kicks away then it's curtains.

If he continuously gives possession away or charged down as last man because he can't use his weaker foot its curtains.

Sorry mate, he's making errors that I got taught not to in the u12's. His confidence is shot. Get him out of there.

Struijk has performed to an acceptable level and that's all in my opinion. If we'd had a proper left back of decent quality then I think we'd be a few points better off as it would make us a better all round team.

Put simply he doesn't have enough pace to play full back and any ball in behind him and he's done for.

Maybe it's just been so long since we had someone in Dorigo's category that we've all forgotten what one looks like.

This I agree with.

It's all about opinions mate <ok>

Let's see how we are with;
Kristensen
Llorente
Cooper
Firpo

That's our best back four from our current squad and we've been playing with 50% of it missing this so far this season.

Only 2 more games until the international break and then hopefully we'll have all our defenders fit and available when the season resumes in October.
(apart from Dallas)

Llorente played left ch right ch and defensive midfield in Spain. His versatility was meant to be an asset. Though sociedad fans had mixed opinions on him.

He’s clearly a capable footballer but takes too many chances and is poor in the air. Whichever side of defence he plays. And he should be able to play both.

As for Jesse ruining him? I don’t think he needs Jesse’s help, he seems to be doing alright with that on his own.

Do we actually play anyone in their proper position anymore?

Sometimes you think these things even themselves out, then I saw this and my heart sank, it won't be against Forest, infact it will more than likely go against us again.

Taylor, Tierney, Dean could it be any worse.

Cresswell should never have been loaned out, he should be one of the first names on the team sheet
He should be our future captain
