No shame in that as Zaha has caused many full backs issues this season and gained many penalties along the way as well.

But he is an “old school” full back who doesn’t really get forward which is why I think people have said we need a new right back or wanted to see Jazz Richards get a run in the team ? Manga clearly is better at centre half than full back!!

In the modern game, full backs don’t just defend , they are also expected to get forward at pace to either give the team width or populate areas further up field allowing their teammates more advanced to deploy a high press such as Liverpool or Man City.
