Watched Hector in full games 8 times now (the last 4 from midfield the end of the season when they started integrating their new LB), and he's been pretty useful supporting the attack and putting in some great crosses. Typically German, he's very disciplined and picks and choses when he supports. But when he does, he's very comfortable on the ball and intelligent with it and I've yet to see him get caught out of position. And although not the free kick threat Rodriguez, he's whipped in some great inswinging corners from the right with his left which has been interesting to see.
Just want a FB that can just do their job and defend first and foremost yer know? We've got into a cycle, both sides, of a must have attacking FB and very few of them have been able to do the main thing. ****** defend.
Be nice to have both sides boxed off with solid defenders after Clyne's great first year.
Maybe defensive security behind him helps Coutinho flourish too like we know he can?
