Yup I think keeping in mind his age is crucial when you analyse him because its easy to fall into the trap of expecting amazing performances week-in week-out wither its because of our recent run of form or because we all have the VVD-Gomez partnership in mind as closest comparison.
He's young (I would say super young for a CB)
He's just playing his first games in arguably the best league in the world
He's not coming from playing some great football with a team competing for a CL spot in the bundesliga
He's been given like 3 or 4 different CB partners so far all while he's supposed to be adapting to the PL
My point is there's a lot going on at the same time here and a lot of it is nothing to make his life easier. Despite that. I think an honest look at the kid points in the direction of very decent potential (not saying he's the next VVD but he's definitely a good looking project)
