Nice footballer, smooth on the ball, confident in picking a forward pass. As a defender he is not convincing, but to be fair he had a few moments last night where he did really well when it looked as if he was in trouble, and also a few where it was concerning. A bit of John Stones about him. Plenty of time to adapt, will need to toughen up for the PL, looks a bit weak.

Agreed. For some reason he always looks like the underdog when a cross/set piece is coming in. Imagine him marking Carroll.

A lot's been made of the early struggles of Pallister, Vidic and others, and it's true to an extent, but you never sensed they were flimsy.
