Hey, I’m not the one dishing out spams and dislikes because someone corrected a players name. You could have just said, “oh fair enough, my bad.“ Instead you doubled down and inferred that it was the spelling of his name that was at fault rather than you.

It’s disrespectful to the players to spell their names wrong imo.

well it looks like he's a CB tonight....what Mourinho says in press conferences and what happens in reality are rarely the same. Moussa isn't a CM remember... sometimes he's trying to get a reaction from a player maybe to prove him wrong. (unless Davies plays CB and he plays LB but that would be madness)

I thought he looked good tonight in LCB, which I think is his natural position.
I don't know why Mourinho suggested he was a FB, other than indicating that was his best chance to get games.
Herc has got me a large disadvantage in poo-pooing my thought that Mourinho still wants a senior CB in the coming windows. I'll have to swallow that!

I think he could get in some matchday squads in the league due to him being able to cover all positions at the back.

Looked good tonight, although he was not tested at all.

Good to see him get 90 minutes tonight. Didn’t really have much to do, but was up to it when called upon.

Like Sissoko Davies, and Lamela, he is such a great player to have in our squad, due to his versatility. And like the aforementioned he sticks to the game plan and direction given by the coaches. Highly dependable and always gives 100%.

Perfect game for him to come back in. Looked great but was not up against much. Great to see him back.

Didn't have much to do last night at all but looked good on the ball and did what little he needed to do well.
Great to see him get some minutes!

Good player, pleased with him. Not the tallest but great leap. Physically and positionally (CB/RB) very much reminds me of Richards, you expect them to be lumbering with that extra muscle but has great agility and speed for a CB which is good against tricky players. Compared to Dier and Sanchez who have good top speeds but not as agile. Doesn't really have that old school mentality that Dier has but is controlled in his own calm and composed way.

I think Jose said he seems him as a defensive utility player with his primary position being a FB. Doesn't mean he cannot play CB against a second rate team in EL. I think he is still 5th choice CB behind Toby, Dier, Rodon, and Sanchez though.

Love how easy he tends to make defending look at his age. He already looks like he's got less mistakes in him than a lot of other young defenders come through the ranks at many top clubs. Real, real high hopes for this guy.

I believe the correct term is Typo. You are also missing the space at the start of the final sentence. Must Try Harder! N
Actually typo is text language whereas typing error is the correct term as regards English language. I’m just defending a member who has been criticised for something which is really so trivial. Anyone who picks someone up for not spelling a player’s name correctly is absolutely childish.

Wouldn't surprise me to see him to step in the RB position while Doherty sorts himself out. Definitely better suited to actually marking players and has enough recovery pace and physicality to match up with wingers and fullbacks. Only negative would be Japhet's attacking output but I'd rather we keep things tight in the back first.

Early to be certain but I rate him highly, strong and determined he reminds me of a young Campbell
