I’d never seen him play alongside two centre backs as a left back before, only alongside three and as a wing back a little further up the pitch.
He was superb in this new position for him.
[Albion] Solly March, local lad and Premier League star, is f***ing brilliant

Spot on- I was saying this at the Marseille game when folk were moaning we didn’t have a back up left back
Arteta says Saka won’t be available for England
Do the right thing, Southgate

Exactly this - we dont need a new LWB - Solly played there brilliantly under Potter

He’s dong a reverse Bale. An excellent modern fullback.

It is easy to forget that prior to signing Cucurella that Solly played quite a number of games at left back/wing back.
On the radio in the build up they kept on suggesting Gross would play there, which was worrying my Dad, I instantly pointed out that March would be playing there - especially given both Adingra and Mitoma we're starting.

On the concourse, I saw the SKy bizarre line up, only saw it briefly, think it was 4 - 1 - 2- 3 with Gross at right back, Velts at Left back.
Presumably Pedro and Adingra in midfield.
I thought "Nope, that aint it"

IIRC he's played there numerous times (as well as LWB) beginning all the way back under Chris Hughton
Yep. Agree.
Find it amusing that Salah made it into Garth Crook's team of the week when Solly had him more or unless under control. One penalty and your teammate giving you a gimme does not make a stellar performance Garth.

Your support is not that great
For a player that most of us used to think just lacked a bit of confidence at times, Solly has become one of the most assured players in our squad over the past year.
Just gets stuck in all the time, head never goes down, never knows when he's beaten, fights for the ball in the tightest of spaces and against any calibre of opponent. Crosses and dead balls have become much better and he also knows where the goal is.
We've all watched this lad develop and improve since he was really just a kid and now he's one of our most solid performers. Couldn't be happier for him.

Yes he should be an automatic starter. Southgate is clueless.
One of the greatest improved players in all of football.

Get better soon Solly, we need you mate. Really hope it’s not as bad as it looks. Guess we’ll know on Wednesday at RDZ’s presser

Think the best we can hope for is that he’s back before the end of the season. Gutting

Roberto has just said the following, via our website:
“This is the worst news today. I think we will lose Solly March for a long time and Danny Welbeck has a muscular problem.”
I think the phrase rhymes with clucking bell.
