Not a left back, so I can kind of excuse his idiotic tackle and the amount of time he was out of position.  But I can't excuse how many times he tried to take his man on, only to get eased out of it and end up the wrong side of his marker.  It happened almost every time he tried it.  Kept getting outmuscled by Aaron Lennon and all.  It was like watching a slightly larger Shane Ferguson.

I did wonder yesterday whether we might have been more effective if him and Townsend had swapped positions. Seems a bit of a travesty that his last two outings have been at left back when he's clearly an attacking player.

The biggest thing for me is that he seemed to be disgusted at playing LB. He didn't seem arsed in the slightest and looked like he couldn't wait for the match to be over. I get that he's an attacking player, but at that age you want to be getting in the team when you have the chance by making sporadic appearances here and there, and making it hard for the manager to drop you. Did absolutely nothing to make the manager or fans take notice of him.
