is a left back and should always be a left back.
Will people on this board and other board's who suggest he should play left midfield get real. He does not have a trick or the electric pace to play out wide. He does his best work coming from deep on to a ball instead of having his back to play receiving it.
As for people who question his defensive ability he is 19 for godsake!!

This was what I was thinking, who knows?He'll end up as a DMC I reckon. He's got the build for a central position.

I didn't actually see that Wales game, was he playing LB and pretty much given a free role? Or playing LM and getting forwards? I'm just basing my opinion on the season so far, where he's played much better from LB.
I think for the moment I'd rather see him at LB, mainly because BAE's not good enough and apparently neither is Gilberto although we've hardly seen him!
Distinctions have become so blurred nowadays that saying a player is better suited to one position than another is often pretty pointless. I've seen N'Zogbia described as an LW and an LM, yet he's frequently played at LB.
The main problem is that he simply hasn't been that good for the last two games. On Sunday his passing was actually worse than Bentley's.
