SAF has played Phil Jones at about 5 million different postions.
Jones is a CB I think, primarily. Although he's seemingly one of those super versatile types. Coleman doesn't play at RM like Jones plays at RB/DM.

And what better way to learn a postion than to play infront of quite possibly the 2 best RBs in modern football.
We can deploy him against the bottom 12 and while we sacrifice a lot on defense he balances out the attack. Teams can't load up defensively on the left anymore and teams can no long pack 10 back and not expect us to get any scoring chances.
Quite how the best way to train a young inexperienced right back is to not actually play him at right back i'll never know. Maybe 6-10 games at most in right mid to give him game time in the Prem and help him learn the role of that position as to how it helps a right back.
But 2 years at right mid after being signed as a right back, after making his early good impressions as a right back and helping Blackpool get promotion as a right back is ridiculous in anyones book.
Unless you can show me another club who have played a young inexperienced right back at right mid for 2 years?
This really. I'd prefer it if he was used at home for the most part too. Away to Chelsea, Utd, Arsenal, City, Spurs, Liverpool and he could struggle. Then again, it would not be uncommon for Hibbo or Neville to either...
Yup - that's my question too. Hard road games...do you play him in those? Sink or swim mentality or protect the lad? Honestly, I'm not sure of the answer... But luckily we have a couple more games before we have to answer that.
He should play against Wigan at RB.
