Another player doing well. Quick! Lets find out where we can play him out of position! :lol: 


Any defender who can pass a football always ends up with calls to hoy them into midfield. Almost like you just need to pass a ball to be a midfielder.

 

Bet it wouldn’t take long to search for similar calls for Schär, Mbemba, Alexander-Arnold, Stones etc.

Still looking for a right wing. Gordon? Big Joe? Barnes? Hall? Schär maybe??

He played all over for Chelsea and we saw he wasn't a LB by inclination when he first came.

 

The game is full of players who can be equally as effective in more than one position or who moved positions during their career, especially when young.

Surprised there haven’t been more shouts to play him in midfield.  

There hasn't been a real need. We did start him there a couple of times.

He’s been very good overall this season bar the odd poor decision in our half which you often do get away with now. I think he’s the heir to Trippier albeit on the left, very much a WB.

Hall was a CM more than a LB at Chelsea through the ranks btw.  
 

He has the right ball control for it too.  
 

it’s the lack of size /athleticism / aggression that he doesn’t have for CM.

I was waxing lyrical about him at the back end of last season but then at the start of this season thought he was really struggling , has been class recently though and think he's a future England international.

7th most progressive passer (and most progressive full back outright) p/90 in the league so far. He is really starting to fill the gap Trippier's left in terms of our ball progression. 

 

That Schar and Hall are that far up there is really, really remarkable given our poor possession numbers.

Feels odd Trent isn't on that list.

bit of a change of style for them this season, isn't it. More boring and less direct.

 

Most of their progression is going through their CBs in Van Dijk and Konate - as seems to be the case with all of the dull control teams. 

 

Trent is still providing the most xT for them though. They should probably use him more often.

Game's gone.

Played 18 out of 69 games at CM for Chelsea at age group level in his last three years there

Also played CB,LW,LCM,LB. Both he and Howe said he spent last season learning how to play LB, He's a very good technician more than a positionist (yes I've probably just made that word up but it works) and he's young. Didn't Bale start out playing LB so he could see the game better  but wasn't actually a LB ?
