The goal adds the gloss, but he's clearly too good to be sitting on our bench. If the only position in the team for him is at left back, then so be it. We have no-one better in that position than him.

Even though it was down t'other end I was at the perfect angle to see the header, the ball trajectory, and the vacant top corner.

Poetry in motion.

And while he was there, I wish Cattlin had had a word in Calderon's ear about how to defend as a right-back.

He isn't better than Painter at left back, because Painter is actually a left back and Vincelot isn't.

Completely agree. I thought he was superb today defending and going forward

Yes, he is. He was very accomplished and stylish against Liverpool and even more so today. He doesn't get caught out by pace, he gets on the ball higher up the pitch and he doesn't give it away half as often. His best position is in midfield, but he's much better at left back than Painter.

Think Tano is better tbh

Yep.
Other than the great goal, I thought Vincelot gave the ball away repeatedly, and their right wide men got unchallenged crosses in on many occasions.

Best full backs for me are Jara & Tano. Don't rate the others at this level, unfortunately, at their defensive duties.

I think he is much better than Painter at left-back even though it's Painter's specialist position.
