I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t think much of him when he played earlier in the season, but apart from getting put on his arse by Salah in the derby I actually think he’s done not too bad filling in for Baines since his injury. Sometimes he looks very awkward because he’s so right footed and his passing out of defence isn’t all it should be but he sticks to his task and actually wins his fair share of tackles, especially since Rooney etc gave him grief for backing off in the derby. He’s never going to be first choice for either full back position, but is certainly handy to cover both sides, at least in the short term.

Fans haven't given him a fair crack.

I’m not saying he’s a world beater, but he’s better than a lot of us, myself included thought. Useful squad player at the moment.
