Has Coady suddenly become Roger Johnson over night.
Memory serves he was MOTM for England in a Back 4, admittedly a poor England Performace.
He reads the game well
Organises well
He handles 1 v 1 well.
Distribution is up their with the best
Struggles with a Big lump up top
Is not fast, but frequently is in the right place at the right time, thats not luck.
He does not attack the ball like a centre half in the air, certainly at set pieces, but wins a fair amount of headers elsewhere.
We have not really seen Coady and Boly together in a 4 for any period of time, how about we do before writing him off.
He has some good attributes, some weaknesses, but there are very few centre backs without weaknesses.
Virgil Van Dyke
Ruben Dias
How much collectively did they cost?
Not many more.
John Stones who I think is worse than Coady looks Immense with Dias.
