honestly we need him more at RB. Who are the other options there right now? I count 3 players worthy of being in the FB rotation, and one of them only plays on the left.
Yeah, but might as well get some use out of him getting games with the NT. We know he's capable playing fullback, now I wanna know if he cAn pLaY iN CenTEraL deFenSE.

He's a RB and has been performed perfectly. playing him in CB spot where is out of his position would kill the strength of attack in right flank. Cabal can operate as a CB role.

he played CB last season for next gen, that’s actually where his breakout started, albeit in a 3 man backline. I see him as a Pavard type that can play numerous roles.

I love this kid & you can see progression in his game. Sadly there is a void between him and Chico in the form of Loca to link things up.

One of the few shining lights of this season so far.

I thought he’d be another Serie C level plodder who will eventually end up in a chain of Serie B/C loans, but he’s been solid and extremely dependable for the most part.

Didn't look out of place which says a lot for him given that he wasn't even remotely in he picture until this season.

He's progressing well. Doku and Grealish are difficult to play against for a full back, especially when one goes wide and another inside. He dealt with it pretty well, you have to accept Doku will go past you at points. But he forced him into areas that were less dangerous and didn't dive in.

I'd say his 1 v 1 defending has definitely improved as the season has gone on.
