Pretty much hopeless as a defender IMO. I think if he is to have a future here he should be tried somewhere in midfield.
Not really. He generally wins his one on ones. He needs coaching but hopeless is well wide of the mark
I'm not saying he is talentless, but he has brainfarts, I don't think you can train brainfarts out of someone, coaches have been trying to do that with Bramble his entire career.
