Needs to improve quickly as he was shocking at times especially for the second goal. He was erratic before getting injured and seems he hasn’t improved at all.

Was he supposed to do that playing FIFA on his Playstation while injured?

It will come in time. He (as well as Lavia) are unfortunately a step behind but they will not improve without minutes.

I thought he was ok, but reading match thread after a few key moments stood out that he needs to work on. Early days - let him play 5-10 games alongside Lacroix and it will settle down. Great to have him back.

Missed out on a lot of PL football and it showed. He's where Fofana was a few years ago and I really hope he doesn't go down that route

Needs minutes as he's our best defender by a country mile when on form. Bound to be rusty after nearly a year off, think people are going way over the top.

Very early in the season, but he has been our worst defender so far. He came back strong after his injury last season, but now he is starting on equal footing with everybody else, and we are really seeing the affects of an ACL injury. Always a step behind the opposition player, never gets in front of them, mistiming headers, not getting a good leap. It happens to every player after this injury, it's going to take time.

He was just as erratic an error prone before his injury this isn’t new behaviour.

Rushes into challenges argues with refs out of position etc

Give him time. He’s had 1 year out of football. In an ideal world he wouldn’t be starting games until he’s ready but sadly we haven’t got any better defenders.
