People calling him shite 🤣

2 games now against Bournemouth and Forest tonight in his rightful position as a CB and he's done brilliant.

Hopefully he remains there now.

JOB and Garner were the standouts tonight. Once we have a right back, the battle for starting centre back spots will commence!

Really good again at CB, just feels much calmer with him in there

Be harsh on Keane as he’s hardly put a foot wrong but we seemed much more solid at the back tonight

Harsh yes, but you keep your shirt if you’re performing.

Yeah think Keane's had a good season but also Jake's really put a strong case forward for starting at CB and I don't think Keano could complain too much if that happened.

Not sure if it was the plan to take Patterson off after 70 minutes or so or whether it was because he got absolutely rinsed just before it but I wouldn't be surprised if Moyes reverted to JOB at RB, I still don't think he rates Patto.

Fine but who you putting at RB ? Garner ? When we have no other midfield option atm. ?

I've never thought he was shite, just absolutely not a RB.

It's a tough call now for moyes.
Two great performances off jake when he's been in the middle and Keane hasn't done a lot wrong either
If he really doesn't fancy Patterson does he put jake back to right back, as good as he is in the middle i don't want to see him on the flank.
After tonight would it be criminal to drop garner back there?
Or are we going to actually get a right back in

Think that is the obvious decision now, a decent right back as priority sorts a lot of problems.

Patterson did well there and as I said in the match thread he made a massive difference in having the right body shape to release the ball forwards quickly.

No more Jake at right back now. Let him earn his place at centre half which he is fully on his way to doing.

Brilliant again, yet to concede a goal when he’s played there.
