Yeah he just looked comfortable and like me knew he was doing. Can't read to much in to just 1 performance, but it was encouraging.

Reckon he'll be back out to RB next game if Keane is fit though, with Garner replacing Tim in midfield

Thought he looked a beast back there tonight. Bullied their forwards and came out on top in everything.
Pace and physical presence. Please no more right back experiment.

Grealish, KDH and Alcaraz. Ball retention machines. Shift McNeil/Dibling out wide. Best option we've got. Although he'll probably just drop McNeil in there.

Dibling for me not McNeil, what’s the point in McNeil when Dibbo needs game time.

Aye. He has great ball retention so he’s not a possession risk, let him play and grow into the team.

Wonder if Coleman or Patto will be dropped into right back.

Garner is, for better or worse, the best right back we have at the moment. Leave him there, solid defensively and transforms us going forward. Jake is a centre-half, play him there.

I think that midfield is even more of a disaster than JOB at RB tbh.

KDH did well sitting deeper on Tuesday, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with him or Alcaraz playing as the actual DM. It's horribly weak and positionally awful, and although I love Grealish he's not going to off the same protection KDH or Alcaraz do as the 10.

JOB should never play RB again.
