Big lad's still mine. Come at me.

 

[Ivo]

Reckon he'll get quite a few goals this season with better delivery into the box from set pieces.

 

[hallamblue]

Can he play centre half and right back at the same time?

Can he play centre half and right back at the same time?

if he’s superman

 

[Jacko93]

Struggling.

Got no support from Alcaraz and its making it really difficult for him. Telling that most of their success has been down that side rather than the left where we're playing a right footed centre mid.

 

[Number_25]

Not got the ability to play at right back. Every single time he had the ball in the Leeds half, we broke down.

The fact that we've not signed a RB is a disgrace.

 

[DrEFC]

Looks like he's carrying a knock

 

[SJB]

Criminal from Moyes to not prioritise a full back because a makeshift one did OK there for half a season.

 

[dannyboy]

Shocking from him tonight. So bad on the ball. Not even down to being out of position. Control it and pass it.

 

[obn00b]

His passing was bad tonight

 

[brieverton]

Poor tonight, his worst performance in the shirt.
Looked rattled and unsettled all game.

 

[Zatara]

Oh dear.

 

[SuperKev91]

Really poor tonight, looked every bit a 6’6 cb playing right back. Not his fault at all, he should be next to Tarkowski whilst our new rb plays like an actual rb.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Fine/great when grinding points out in the back end of a crap season. Not to start a season with any intent though.

Let Tarky train him up alongside him and get Garner RB. If we are never ever going to trust him at CB, why is he here? I like Garner as RB in lieu of buying a proper one.
