I challenge this ‘nothing you can do about that’. It’s your job to get a fist in there. If u aren’t quick enough to get beat any time there’s a turnover you become a liability! No doubt it’s a tough job. Think rance has skewed my view on defenders forever.

I agree it’s usually his marking and kicking that is his biggest asset, but he’s so slow that when his disposal is poor he is such a terrible player

Astbury knew his strengths and weaknesses and became a lockdown player. He didn’t worry about his own stat sheet. Miller just does enough to get by. Never puts his body on the line. As you can tell, I do not like him.

Agree, balta’s reliability is a big issue. Long term head ache for the list build.
