I will admit to expressing despair at the sale of AWB and failure to replace in 2 windows with fears of attack after attack at a weakened corner of defence. How wrong I was. 8 years the only surviving ever present since promotion over 200 games quietly reliable and hes still doing it. Good business for £400k.

I do agree, but going forward hes not in the same league as awb, hence we are not scoring as many goals.

We always had strong backup for this position.

He's no Alexander-Arnold in terms of going forward. I remember being quite disappointed with his delivery and dribbling ability.

Agreed, It was a great bit of business selling AWB for that money. Smashing player but there are plenty of flaws in his game. Ward lacks pace but he has been excellent for us all season and we have not missed AWB at all.

I would consider McArthur more of an unsung hero. The bloke has played about 200 games for us in the Premier, hardly ever injured, got a great engine and runs his heart out for the team. He doesn't have many shocking performances if any, normally his performances are a 7 or more, his consistency over the seasons is remarkable.

So few, in fact, that when he does, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Huge asset to us.
