haven’t seen much of their games; how is he defending? The good thing about him is that he can play as an RB also. If he has developed his basic defending skills, he’s enough to walk into the team as the 2 other options have no clue how to defend.I watched Norwich a few times this season and Williams offers nothing much in attacking outlet. They used Aarons more for attack than Williams if we compare both full backs. When Williams tends to have the ball, you often see him play the ball backward. Even when he managed to carry the ball near the corner area, he won't cross it with his left foot but instead pass the ball backward, basically the ball never progress on his side. Could it be a manager/coach instruction? Good assist though.
If anything he's starting because of his defending than his attacking. He offers almost zero in attack. Basically, he's getting better in defense but I see him nothing in attack at Norwich. Playing too many safe passes/options.haven’t seen much of their games; how is he defending? The good thing about him is that he can play as an RB also.

He’s also the emotional type of player. Unlike poker face awb

any possibility he comes back and makes a claim to one of the full back positions? The 4 we currently have are average anywaysNorwichs POTM.Tweet

He’s average too, though isn’t he? He could be a decent squad player but I think you need to get into the habit of selling players on. If you sold him you’d have a decent amount to upgrade with.any possibility he comes back and makes a claim to one of the full back positions? The 4 we currently have are average anyways
What’s another average player...any possibility he comes back and makes a claim to one of the full back positions? The 4 we currently have are average anyways
He’s a right fullback and we played him mostly on the left, plus he’s still young: I won’t write him off just yet.He’s average too, though isn’t he?

He's a left-back.He’s a right fullback and we played him mostly on the left, plus he’s still young: I won’t write him off just yet.
Fair enough. wouldn't it be better to just sell him with a buy-back?He’s a right fullback and we played him mostly on the left, plus he’s still young: I won’t write him off just yet.
Yeah I think I got that backwards.He's a left-back.

My understanding is that he was a rightback when he was younger, but had to move over to the left when Laird came along and was simply better. I wonder which side he'd actually be better at if he were given a run on the right now.He's a left-back.
Your understanding would be wrong then. Laird came along when he was 8 years old, so unless you put all your worth into what position Williams played at 7 years old (an age group which doesn't play 11 aside so there are no fullbacks anyway) then Williams has at no point ever been a RB.My understanding is that he was a rightback when he was younger, but had to move over to the left when Laird came along and was simply better.

Laird is a year younger so they wouldn't have been in the same squad until they started getting into the teenage years, which is about when I thought he made that transition.Your understanding would be wrong then.

He's better at LB and has said he prefers LB.
In a nutshell, yes.He’s sort of player Liverpool would cash in on after a good loan spell and invest money in first team. Sort of player we bring back, never play, give a bigger contract to and then spend years not knowing what to do with before selling for a small fee.
Bingo. This is our plan for him. Be a really highly paid squad player until he gets sick of it and leaves on a low low fee. Now is the time to sell while he’s winning admirers. He’s got potential to be a good player but he’s not going to get the minutes to develop here and he’s not good enough to start every week for us.He’s sort of player Liverpool would cash in on after a good loan spell and invest money in first team.

In theory he could tuck in central more like Cancelo and other Pep fullbacks do, with a winger high and wide up on the left, maybe even a left-footer. Like let's say Everton do brilliantly but this summer have to sell Richarlison and they buy, VDB, Dwight Mcneil and Brandon Williams.What's the point of a left back with no left foot for a top team?
Remember Irwin and Lahm?What's the point of a left back with no left foot for a top team?
Cancelo. Arguably the best left back in the league right now.Remember Irwin and Lahm?

Those guys had/have a very strong left foot though and weren't afraid to use it. Williams is like Dirk Kuyt when he played LWB for Holland under LvG, he might have a left foot but you never, ever, see him use it!Cancelo. Arguably the best left back in the league right now.
6 Premier Leagues, 3 FA Cups and a Champions League.Williams is an average player who’ll have a Phil Nevilleesque career. Really should just sell him and let him fly.
Do your research on Phil Neville mate as most professional players would take his medal tally and international caps in a heartbeat.Williams is an average player who’ll have a Phil Nevilleesque career. Really should just sell him and let him fly.
