Why do people keep suggesting this? He's slow and physicality over matched as a CB, so why would he succeed in a position where covering ground and tackling in space in paramount?He would be best employed as a DM in front of a back four. It’s too chaotic to tell what’s going on with the defence right now
The only way he can do this role, is if he's playing in a double pivot next to a physical defensive monster.
Part of the reason he's struggling right now is because him and DeLigt are quite similar in a way. Both front foot aggressive centre backs that are slow on the turn. What they need is a physical athlete to read and react to the space they leave behind. Yoro is a better partner for them than they are for each other. I suspect this why Ineos wanted Branthwaite.
