A day out at the Bridge against Hazard, is bound to make the best of right backs look uncomfortable. Personally, I just think Bruno carries himself weirdly, almost like he has arthritic knees. I'd sooner put Cunningham at CB with Morrison if we were going to tinker with the defence, which by the way, I don't think we should. It is what it is, until january let Bruno remain there.
We’ll have to agree to disagree about Manga, as I think it wasn’t just the Chelsea game he was uncomfortable defensively at RB(he got found out in the championship a few times as well) and he adds little when he’s on the ball, I think he has gone backwards at an alarming rate of knots in that respect, in comparison to when he 1st joined us. I think we should play a natural right back, who’s positioning is instinctive there. I don’t think we’ve seen the best of Jazz Richards because of his injury record.

For what it’s worth, the debate is probably immaterial as I think Warnock will revert to type and bring back Bamba and move Bruno across.
