What makes him 7/10?.. Other than last ditch slide tackles which are usually due to poor positioning in the first place, what else is he good at?
That last ditch slide tackle stuff might look good on camera, but it isn't the sign of a great defender... It is the exact reason we used to give the Dippers stick for trying to suggest Carragher was a top defender... How often can you remember Rio needing to slide in like that... or Van Dijk these days? Or if mentioning CBs isnt fair, which of the top full backs elsewhere in the world at the min are best known for their slide tackles.
To me he looks nothing more than a very average footballer with good recovery pace and long legs... Williams RB, Shaw LB next game for me please!
