With TAA gone until after the International break I expect Connor to start minimum of 4 of the next 7 games and see where he is at performance wise until start worrying about who is first choice.
Agreed. No need to be making definite statements about a player with not even a handful of games under his belt, take your anxiety pills, wait, and just be grateful we have some good players in the squad - different ones, mind.
Personally I have no problem with an attacking right back who might be a bit suspect defensively, it's just the nature of the job - no one is hardly ever perfect at both ends of the pitch. Even the likes of Roberto Carlos, who now he's retired people speak of as some sort of deity of the fullback position, were harshly criticised for their defending back in the day. And the idea that a fullback must "defend first" is idiotic - he must do what works best for the team, and that's what TAA, a Liverpool legend at 25, has been doing for years.
