Only saw the highlights so can't say much about his performance ( other than the mistake for their first goal), but sounds like it wasn't good.
I wouldn't be digging him out on the basis of one bad game though. He is inexperienced and you have to expect it ( it's not like Moreno over on the other flank where we have had 3 or 4 years of watching him f**k up.)
I disagree that he is not a natural RB. I think he could be a good one, it's just too early to be sure. At any rate I think he is a more natural RB than Gomez ( who has also made plenty of mistakes this season, again cos he is still pretty inexperienced.)
If TAA does not look ready yet to be our first choice RB ( with Clyne out), then to me the best solution would be to play Milner there. it's not ideal, cos he's not the quickest, but he is solid and reads the game well. I will have no problems if Jürgen continues to give TAA games though.
(Obviously we need to get Clyne sorted out one way or another though. Unusual for a back injury to keep somebody out this long.)
