I get where you are coming from. I always said with Coady the reason he'd never be a top centre half in a 2 is because he didn't really sense danger, he reacted to it, a defender's instinct if you will, so was half a second behind where he needed to be. Kilman is the same
Not sure about that, I agreed at the time when Coady was with us but hindsight has maybe allowed me to think differently.
We’ve never looked the same defensively without Coady really - if only for his leadership and organisation. I think I underrated him when he was here.
Alongside a quick, top notch centre half (which we’ve been without for years really - maybe Boly?) and a couple of decent defensive full backs, I’m not so sure he couldn’t have survived in a decent back four after all.
