Poor lad's been cunted off proper for some time so please to see some plaudits beginning to come his way.
He has been a good CB since he got here. He was just put in the wrong place for far too long

He is also a DM, let's not rewrite history on what he's done for this club.He's a CB, plain and simple. He'll be great there, get him a new contract.
Toby's been defending like an OAP this season so no qualms...Sorry Toby, Eric's the Daddy now.

What we are watching is a player that's now fit. The simple difference is to watch him closely now compared to last two seasons, he's on his toes, and I mean literally, it's quite easy to observe from dead-ball situations. A tiered or players struggling with fitness doesn't have this. It's the 5%'sh that's the difference to blocking a ball, getting a toe in before oppo or simply getting into a better body shape than your opposite number that enables you to win your individual duals.
Is he a better CB than CM absolutely, but here's hoping that Jose can also be smart with him tactically and use him as a DM if the situation allows. This was a major weapon for us not so long ago where we got transition between 3 and four at the back without having to make subs etc..
Final defence, I wish people would stop blaming him for the Pogba pen, that was a 4v2 in our favour, Pogba wouldn't have even attempted to dribble past him were our midfield doing their fucking jobs and backing him up as they should have done, it's very basic defending and they fell asleep on their heels ball watching.
His voice/accent changes every couple of years it seems.

But he was even better as a DM at one point.
Yet our best ever season saw him play CB in 70% of the games.
To be fair we did have 1 midfielder with the strength of 10 men back then. Anyone who was next to dembele seemed to look like a world beater.How about we compromise; he showed enough positional sense and flexibility to switch between CB and DM at the drop of a hat and was key to our flexibity during the period when we were at our best.
