He certainly hasn't been a LB who frequently takes people on and gets to the by line. But he has still had 3 assists this season. When we are in possession he frequently makes himself available for a pass and keeps the ball even when under pressure which is a huge plus.
He is definitely a more defensive fullback and very reliable when defending (apart from the misplaced passes v Samp and Milan). Especially when covering runners at the back post.
I suppose it depends what you want from your fullbacks. I always prefer to have at least one you can rely on defensively, especially when you have a more attacking and less defensive one on the other side in Cuadrado. If we had more of an attacking threat from the left of our midfield it would work perfectly.
But I appreciate other people like both their fullbacks to be fully attacking and not worry about defending.
