Central Defence

That's unture because he's often the defender that makes the most passes and it's been that way for a while. I think you may be seeing extra.

He might well make the most passes. All negative, all sideways, all momentum killing. Watch him next match. Okay, so sometimes, on occasion, he'll try something more ambitious. Which basically means, guaranteed loss of possession. The guy is average. If we are okay with average then fine. If we want to press on then surely this is his last season.

What momentum are you expecting when the ball is being passed around the back line or from keeper to CB for him to kill? Why in the world would you want your CB to play risky passes? The DM and CM should be trying those sort of passes along with the wing backs. I think you're inventing a stick to beat him with.

I'm with you on this one, he's very negative in his passing, it's easy to have good passing stats if you take the easy option every time and don't look to be adventurous or go forward, I don't understand how people can rate this guy, he excels at nothing and really brings nothing to our team, his pace is a huge issue as well, good defenders make up for their lack of pace with anticipation or good reading of the game, he doesn't.
