As an Englishman, it makes me immensely proud to know that a no-nonsense 21-year old from Barnsley could become the most expensive defender of all time.
He's been pretty awful all season. The tactics of Martinez aren't helping but he has definitely gone backwards this season. Perhaps listening to his hype.
Like any defender he will have lapses but disappointing to see such poor judgement from him at such a crucial juncture in the match - had no reason to lunge relying on the courage of the ref to make the call at Goodison in the dying seconds...Good on the ref for making the right call but jeez, some terrible defending on both ends...Some well taken goals and opportunities in the match but how some keystone cop defending
Now consider the bid Everton turned down for him from Chelsea, it boggles the mind...Of course, another English club (United?) will still pay a pretty penny in the end

How much have you seen him this season? Because these lapses have been happening in just about every match.
Again, good on the ball, but awful at the job that should be his main, namely actually defending.
Well, maybe you should have sold him.
So much hyperbole here. He is not an "awful" defender by any stretch of the imagination.
