He really reminds me of Corluka. Very good defensively and quality on the ball. Just lacks pace in his game really but that’s okay.

Up until tonight I didn't think he'd provide enough going forward but that may have been down to his instructions.
He showed tonight he can be good going forward and deliver a good cross. Hopefully he's allowed a more attacking
role going in future, especially if we stick with PEH and Skipp in CM.

Completely. I was thinking that at the weekend too. Our summer transfers were very decent

Interesting take. I've not seen enough of him yet to work it out. While slow as brick, Corluka read the game well and had excellent link-up play with the likes of Kranjcar and whoever else played around him. His partnership with Lennon in particular was brilliant -- really got the best out of them both, with (IIRC) Lennon tailing off noticeably when Hutton and then Walker were playing behind him. Like Neville-Beckham (but not quite as good, obviously), it was a pair of players who complemented each other beautifully.
Of course, modern RBs don't usually have the luxury of a full-time winger in front of them so, if he is indeed the second coming of Corluka, Royal has his work cut out. I do think he's quicker, mind, which is a start, but I don't think we'll see the best of him until we have regular and solid players at RW/RM. Maybe he'll prove an ideal foil for Gil?

But unlike Corluka he can turn and then move which is quite important

Mate, we may have to fall out over this one.

He just couldn’t turn

To be fair, Zoolander was world class at turning right.

Ah but he was one dimensional
And he did googooleyiggoley someone once
True story… I came out of a toilet in NY once and bumped into this relatively short fella so I said sorry… he wasn’t happy and this huge bloke came I’ve to check on him…. Yep it was zoolander himself. He was smaller than I imagined

Knowing Tom Cruise's contractual stipulations, there's probably a box underneath him there.

Biggest farce of the lot when he played Reacher in the films.

The way the team plays he's having a lot of opportunity t show his defensive qualities.

He was a standout today, both at the back and going forward.
Loved his cross to the near pozt in the second half, not the cross per se, although it was good, but the frustrated lambasting he gave to our forwards who didn't make a run.
