THB is our best defender when it comes to breaking the lines or putting decent balls over the top. It’s his best (only) asset at the moment. So I don’t mind him taking time. Quars Is equally slow, but will then just pass sideways or backwards.
Agree he did put a couple of good balls over the top on Saturday but I still think a lot of his play is a bit ponderous and that it seems his first choice is mainly a sideways pass. To be fair to him though, there isn't a great deal of movement in the midfield and up front when the CBs have the ball so hopefully that improves. I agree he has good vision though. I guess ultimately, for me, I was expecting him to shine this season and it hasn't really worked out so far so maybe I'm being a bit harsh.
The promotion season his long balls to Fraser/Adarma were excellent and caused opposition defences problems. Even last season in the Prem, Opta had him in the top 3 centre backs for progressive forward passes. If he could just sort out his defending, he’d be a great defender
