Could have been a great left back under a manager like Pocchetino, Conte. Very clear systems, he played for us under managers who weren't quite on top of that, though they had other strengths. A one man army really, pace, strength, hard to knock off the ball, just needed clear orders from the manager, rather than a pro on the way down like Carra, who he may have not respected enough.
Shame about the injury but that's contact sport for you, he suffered then, Owen before him, Sturridge now.
