He has looked poor defensively this season, even when given great protection. His marking ability is low and he always seems slow to react. Relies too much on pace, which won't bail you out when defending deep. I think the idea that Brady, a left winger, has easily displaced him and shown a superior reading of the game, is worrying.
Ideally Brady plays further forward, but I'm not sure we can afford to buy another left back. Brady and Jarvis did play very well together before Jarvis was injured, so there is hope in that left flank partnership.
