Confirmed. Great to see him finally getting some games again at centre back. Would love to see him bring back the rampaging forward runs of his first season

Trouble with Jones is his forehead slopes backwards a lot. So he cant head the ball straight if hes watching it like you are supposed to= it will go in the air upwards. Thats why hes shit at attacking Uniteds corners, he has to look at the floor to head it straight.

Thought he was excellent last night, good to see him at cb. Defence looks a lot more mobile with him in the centre

Classic Fred. Lad plays a good game in the position he's supposed to and we all get into a shitfight about how tall he is

Plain for anyone to see when played as a centre half he is well past other players in his age group, pace, knows the game, will fling himself at anything, good on the ball for a CH too. Imo he wkll grow into kne of the best we have had. Have no problem with the odd game as a shielding DM some of the best ever did that early on in their career but keep him away from right back. As a centre half (shit) and makeshift right back the swapping does you no favours in learning the game like that attacking positions.

He's a long way off the first team from what I've seen of him. Not to say that he's shit, he looks ok, but inexperienced.

Has looked really good in the reserves. Very similar to Rafael as he is quick, aggressive and good going forward

Should play against Norwich in the cup and hopefully establish himself as Rafael's backup
