Sorry but I cannot agree with you, especially about positioning and alertness to danger. It must have been a nightmare for him when he had to play with Branch on his left and Williams on his right. How could any centre back be expected to cope with that? And how helpful was/is the constant changing from 4-4-2 to 5-3-2 or 3-5-2? Changing systems and changing personnel - what a nightmare. I think he has been admirable.
