Personally, and this is probably an unpopular opinion, I’ve never understood what the fuss has been about over him. He’s terribly slow on the turn going back towards his own goal and got caught out multiple times last season. Always seems to take too long on the ball and either gets caught in possession or immediately looks to go backwards. He has a decent set piece delivery but that’s about it.
Thompson seems the better option going on the 3 games I’ve watched this season. Was surprised he didn’t start last night given he was probably my MOTM vs Rochdale.
