Good to see an independent assessment

He's Mr Reliable, not sexy or the best but usually solid if not adventurous up the flanks - and can cover LCB as well. Sure we can upgrade, but there are plenty we could upgrade on

Who scored ratings are very bad for defenders. He's called Mr. Reliable because he's white and slow and doesn't really offer anything else. He makes so many mistakes in defense and gets destroyed by any decent winger. If he were from the Ivory Coast his switching off and poor positioning would be called out as low IQ of laziness.
 
Not just on Ben
Too many on here, do it to too many of our players.
They take a 30 second clip and say its "proof" that one of our players is shit.

As you say its very weird.
Exactly. What do they think they're achieving?

At least Ben will know who the nobs are when he reads through this.

Hi Ben!

Each additional 5% of whiteness correlates to an additional 5% in reliability. This is well documented.

But on Big Ben, he is more than fine as a deputy as long as Reggie stays fit and we don't have to rely on him for long spells against the big teams. Fine against lesser to middling opposition.

Wouldn't be worth the cost it would take to upgrade when we have more pressing concerns in the first XI.

Which is why I'd certainly look at Sessegnon after his loan ends, as he looks a very decent LB back up who might develop from there. And if Reguilon hot foots it to Madrid in summer 2022 (which I doubt) we have at least one LB on the books
 
In matches like yesterday, Davies is fine, reliable and solid and less prone to errors than some of the other defenders. However if he plays Sunday instead of Reguilon then we are losing a good attacking outlet. It is in these matches we need Reguilon.

Errr what the fuck does that have to do with his footballing ability?
 
He’s ok for a backup left back.

To say that he was outstanding on Thursday is just having really low standards. He made one good play on Thursday. Did nothing going forward.

Not good enough to start important games.
