One of the most lackadaisical players I've seen.

Either he is very fatigued, or he just isn't good enough. Regardless, we need proper competition at the LB positon.

He’s young, he’ll go through dips like this while he continues to develop. Plus the serious injury he had in the summer.

Rushed back from injury, overplayed, young, no competition. It’s no surprise he’s struggling this season but it’s impossible to blame him for the reasons above. Get a lb in January and allow the kid to succeed.

most minutes played for an outfield player this season for us.
Not a great stat for a kid. He needs rest. But he's making mistakes that you don't see in the championship. Really simple defensive mistakes. You can't keep giving the ball away it bad areas without getting punished. And obviously terrible defending against Brighton. Shame vdv got injured. No surprise tho. One thing Ang knew was vdv is likely up for injury on the left side.

Tbf Ange has rested him twice and in both games he’s ended up playing 78 & 76 minutes in them due to reasons beyond Agnes control

Really good player, Unfairly over exposed. He’s just come back from 4 months injured and plays every game in every competition by necessity.

Honestly with Udogie and Van de ven it’s really hard to analyse where they are given the amount of games they have to play, their ages and the holes in our squad.

Yeah to be fair, he has been overplayed and its definitely showing. He's a great player when he's fully fit and well rested. Half of the errors and sloppiness dissappear from his play if he had more rest.

Fatigue and exhaustion is a real thing and as fans we do tend to forget these guys are also human. They will break down and also make mistakes due to this.

We definitely need to bring in some left sided competition in January.
