This^^^
A winger with no pace to me is a left back.
Problem is, he is not a left back because he couldn't tackle a good dinner.
Give him the ball wherever on the pitch and he slows it down, looking to commit his man.
Any defender worth his salt will suss him out and many this season have done exactly this.
Must be good though coz he is left footed and wears a headband
Edit:
I should add that he does do the odd thing that many in our squad have not got the nous to do so I can see why EB picks him.
