Not entirely confident with him being the last man at the moment, if his strengths are pressing and passing the ball then it might be worth playing him slightly further forward with Dragusin and Van de Ven as security behind him. Something needs to be done to shore up the defence, we're so easy to break down.

Getting a bit ridiculous how someone so tall in the air is constantly beaten to the header by almost everyone. I hope Draugsin gets some game time so give him a kick up the arse.

He’s just completely unaware in the box, ball watching and keeps losing his man. That’s six goals he’s at fault for this season!

When their second goes in and he's throwing his arms up in the air when it's him that's miles out of position, that shit grinds my gears.

Also he is massively guilty of slowing the play down when it's exactly the opposite of what needs to be happening. He used to make some great surging runs too, where's that Romero gone?!

Don't think we need to worry about likes of real Madrid coming in for him. He's miles off that level

No, he's not. He's very much that level... When he is not switched off and half-assing it. Which makes it so much more disappointing when he keeps doing just that.

Just because he can be at that level, doesn’t mean he is. He’s been awful this season, not the full games, but those little moments where he switches off and costs us a goal.

Too many times now.

He can play sometimes at that level but nowhere near enough for a top side. The top CBs don't cost his team as often as he does. He's at his level for us and that's as far as he'll go

He’s not at that as he isn’t consistent enough. Good player but great players don’t have bad days as often as he does.

7 games played, 3 he has directly cost us points in. A CB, wearing the captains armband, who can't even read a ball in to his own box. Disgraceful.

He's becoming a liability.

These warrior type of players really don’t show leadership when the chips are down. the warrior stuff is all a show to make themselves look better.

A superb player who is just nowhere near it this season.

he indeed a superb player. sometimes.

consistency is part of being a superb player, and he's just nowhere near consistently as good as some would like to believe.

he's already directly cost us goals in the las few weeks. he's good, but he's also part of the problem.
