As you say, defensive deficiencies, but his pace and strength often allowed him to recover. There was even talk of him as an England international and some clamour for him to make the Euro 2020 squad.
Then he got COVID, was out for a while, weaker and slower, plus got the ankle injury…the lot just did for him. Absolute shite after that.
The drop off from his ‘peak’ was significant.

Masked his defensive deficiencies by flying into tackles.
losing just a little more faith every day, and credibility too apparently
