England's Lewis Hall

Steven Taylor used to be a striker and Andy Carroll was a winger at youth level. Struggle to see it as a very good point why we should try to shoehorn Hall into a position he hasn't played at a senior level, that he hasn't played in for at least 3 years. Lets just play players in the positions they are trained in and most comfortable playing in? :lol:

Fullback is very much a learnt position. Most are failed CBs, CMs and Wingers.  
 

The season before we signed him, he played most of his first team games at LM. And played the most amount of games at CM/DM overall. This idea that he can only be a left back is too early in his development to confirm imo. 
 

I Don’t think Hall has the football IQ of Reece James which might be the difference. But I think he has a similar level of overall footballing ability (touch, dribble). And Transfermakt doesn’t seem to have the games. But I remember James playing in midfield for Chelsea under Tuchel a number of times (perhaps after starting at CB/RB/RWB) and looking seamless. But James is a very clever player and he played a lot at CM in the Championship too.

 

Think James would be a great sitter for England actually. Less work on the knees than RB.

Terrifying rate of development from this guy at the minute.

 

Shockingly good defensively against both Madueke and now Saka too.

 

The sort that I feared him coming up against before.

 

Crazy.
