Yeh Fazio was not a bad defender, just had no pace and didn't like people running at him. But he was as good as anyone in the air. I don't think he was suited to the PL at all, but the way we played didn't help him, and he is not a bad defender in the right circumstances. Skriniar's reputation is much much bigger than Fazio's ever was though and he is far more mobile and has good ability on the ball. He is on a different planet to Fazio. Last year he was one of the most highly rated up and coming CBs in football, it's actually not a that different situation than Ndombele.
yeah employed in the right team he was good as he showed at Roma but for a high pressing team it was a disaster.
Actually my mate has just told me that Skriniar is not too dissimilar whereby he would look imperious in a low block but would be found wanting in a team that high presses.
