Re: The Official Kyle Naughton Thead
the best left back of all time was right footed.
dvd wasn't the worst either.

Re: The Official Kyle Naughton Thead
I am 100% serious when I say I would. I am a RB and have played and play at a reasonable level. I have also played LB with a complete reliance to do anything technical with my right foot and never struggled like he does. Its alright saying totally different levels but it is more about his overall ability.
Like someone said, looks like someone who won a competition to play for a season at a top club as opposed to a competent professional footballer.

Naughton is a decent right back, it was not his fault that he is being deployed at left back

No that is utter ****e. Try playing Dawson at left back against flying wingers and see how good he looks.

If he is weak on his left foot then blame the person that played him at left back.

Re: The Official Kyle Naughton Thead
I agree with you Naija. He was terrible against Liverpool, but he showed for Norwich that he's at the very least a decent PL fullback that could be useful in our squad if used right.

The mistake at left back was getting rid of Benie and not getting a left footed replacement

Re: The Official Kyle Naughton Thead
That's apples and oranges as Dawson is a CB not a full back. Better off playing Townsend there and perhaps if you are forced into playing a right back at left back instruct a midfield player to help him out. And here's a thought, if your opponents have a speedy winger like, say Raheem 'Baby Maker' Sterling, double up on him!

that includes several managers then, he has played there throughout his career. Maybe he is good in training!?!

Re: The Official Kyle Naughton Thead
Naughton looked fine there against Sunderland. He has also looked ok there against other sides and iirc he played there against Chelsea who are arguably a. Better side than Liverpoo and had a solid game
The problem is he has no left foot other than for standing in and Sterling kept on putting him onto his back foot from the word go. He had a mare and was hounded by our own fans after 11 minutes (I looked at the score board)
He is not the answer long term or even short term but defensively we were down to our bare bones on Sunday. We had Fryers in the bench with his 3 games EPL experience (I'm guessing that number) and he has been far from convincing. If AVB had started him and he started like Naughtin did then imagine the criticism he would have got
He is a half decent right back and at best a solid left back (at best)
He had a **** game but the whole defence had 1 first team player IMO (walker) and that was a massive contributing factor to the defeat

Re: The Official Kyle Naughton Thead
You really wouldn't have.... especially when you consider the fact that he generally had both Sterling and Johnson to deal with.
Am I the only one who noticed Chadli continually fail to track Johnson's runs as he went forward? If I was AVB then I would've taken Chadli off after 15 minutes.

Re: The Official Kyle Naughton Thead
To be fair all of this merely emphasises how badly prepared we were going into the season with only one left back - despite the fact that the manager likes to set his teams up with inverted wingers and width provided by the full backs. This has necessitated playing our best central defender at left back just so that we can have somebody there who has a left foot, but this then weakens the defence overall and also ****es off our best centre half as he doesn't want to play left back.
Naughton should be cover to Walker and last resort cover at centre back (I saw him play there for Norwich and he is 100 times more suited than Capoue is to partnering Dawson as a central defender in a team that wants to play a high line!)

Re: The Official Kyle Naughton Thead
We had a second left back but he was loaned to QPR at the end of the window despite being our best LB and us not having a replacement lined up

Nice to see the lad had a good game today. Looks much more confident when played in his natural position

Re: The Official Kyle Naughton Thead
Yep, looks decent as a cover-right back. No real need to use him at left-back with Rose/Vert/Fryers and BAE potentially to get called back.

Re: The Official Kyle Naughton Thead
This is going to sound harsh. But at this stage in his career and with Walker in front of him. For us and him if he left and Fredericks moved up as Walkers backup that might be a good thing. If a player cant grab a spot after a certain amount of seasons then we need to show the young players they have a path into the first team.
