Been a harsh critic (deservedly so in my opinion) but credit where it’s due - good game today
Put himself about and won a few tackles but also some really intelligent passes and took up good positions when out of possession
Fair play
Close to MoM but that’s Saito for me |  |

Best Game for us yet.
I have a feeling that last season he just couldn't get to grips with the pace of the game in the Championship, and was having difficulty 'learning on the job'.
This had several results:
1) he was never really where he should be in order to receive the ball, making it look like he was hiding a lot of the time
2) Didn't trust himself to tackle because he new he was fractionally off with his timing due to the speed that the game was being played at.
3) he often looked like he was in no mans's land defensively, as believing he was a liability in the tackle, would try to mark space but was again off the pace.
The pick up in his performances towards the end of last season, and the last three games have shown, not only has he got his timing in synch with the rhythm of championship pace, but he's really been working on the defensive side of his game. Some of his tackles yesterday were very much like some of Varan's, and showed impeccable timing, and it looks like he's also been working with Field on his heading.
Its still early days but yesterday's performance shows he pretty much has everything he needs to become a top player if he continues to improve on these aspects of the game to augment what is a fantastic passing game. |  | | |

Yup. I'll buy that. | | | |

Not going to be an elbow poster and hide etc.
Didn’t see the game, read everything before this which is fair enough. Lots of analysis coming out the ears.
Let’s just see how he comes along during the season. Good, poor or indifferent. No agenda.
Ps. My Stoke mate originally from there now in Kansas City won’t text me back.
