Apologies if mentioned already but - Shepherd

For sure, Helen. The positive thing being it wasn't his defending, aerial ability or positionally where he made the mistakes, it was short, simple passing. So as an outright defender he did nothing wrong (as far as I can remember), which is a good sign, because the playing out from the back can be taught. He can ping a ball a mile away and find a man which is a positive too. I still think Mael should be middle, him on the left & Lopata when returning on the right

 

The lad has a football brain more than most defenders he has more strings to his bow than just being a stopper
