I dont get this defending will be fine under a different manager stuff. He is not a kid and is an international player. He should know how to defend already.
I think he is alright but he has some very worrying flaws for me. He seems a bit simple too. I'm still annoyed about his derby sending off.
Have a look at the Everton musings article on mori & how in his first few games the author identified a number of problems in his game particularly his inability to hold the line & how often he gets caught 2 yards behind the rest of the defence. Coaching would quickly eradicate this as its not ability driven it's corrected by drills & hard work Everton musings even says somebody with a foghorn should stand in line with the defence in training & every time he drops shout at him to get level. Imagine simeone was coaching him.
Anyway these errors in his game still exist to this day particularly the West Ham home game when he was caught deeper too often this costing us goals.
A new manager will sort the defence out very very quickly you will see. They will also coach mori about being more
Dominant aerially from a standing start he fantastic at attacking the ball aerially but is too easily beaten from a static postion & whilst I'm at it he also seems to have a flaw in his game when trying to hook clearances away over his shoulder misses the ball to often.
That sounds like I don't rate him I actually think he is a great player &
City away in the semi he was top class.
Can't wait to see him once a good coach gets him
