That dribble, though. Must have thought he was playing with the reserves. :rofl:
Nice game overall

He's like a boxer that takes a few rounds to figure out his opponent
What I noticed is that in the first half just before their goal he was attacking, lost the ball and they broke. He didn't even run back. Not as much as a jog back. As a right wing back if you lose the ball you have to sprint back,even if it is just to cover your central defender while he has moved out to cover you and maybe slow the counter attack up.
There's not a chance if that is Andy Robertson he is doing that. He is sprinting back whether there's no point or not.
AMN is not a fullback, or a wingback. Clearly lacks some basics for that position, like the one you just mentioned.
why even compare him to a fullback to make any point
Because regardless of your best position you have to fulfil the roles you are and have been doing for the last 3-4 months.
And losing the ball and running back in position to try and retrieve it isn't a skill set solely for one position. It's a basic requirement of any player.
Lose the ball run to win it back.
don't agree cause you are talking perfect world here.
first of all as a wingback you have extra cover behind and they should be dealing with that properly, as playing wingback means you need to offer more offensively then a fullback in 4 man D. that alone makes comparison to Robertson not really relevant.
2nd of all, Niles is not a up and down the flank player, he does have concentration problems and once again, is not natural there. yes, he keeps doing similar mistakes game in game out and could have learned from it surely, but not everyone is the same, our form/tactics/players missed/out of form, are not of help either.
my main concern about your initial post was that you compared what would a in form fullback in a in form club do, against not so in form club, not so in form player in a different system playing out of position do. unrealistic in a first place
