Our whole group of players in the CB position are far from stable.
The current partnership is there to be got at by various styles of play. Pace takes it apart, pressure makes them have daft mistakes fairly regularly which of course not all lead to goals which papers the cracks for alot of people.
The difference for me is, whilst Katic has errors in him aswell, you know what you are getting. Absolute commitment, concentration levels and determination to get better. He has all the promising attributes of a young defender you could ask for. His distribution is far from as bad as places like this forum would have you believe. Especially when it's people defending the current partnership and use his distribution as his weakness. Irony.
If you asked me who I wanted to lead us into the biggest battle of the season, he'd be in there everytime. We're witnessing a talented young player who looks to me to be progressing well, waste a chunk of his most important age as a player on the bench.
He should ask for a loan move or a transfer if this keeps up. Not that i'd like that to happen.
