Even if Robbo couldn’t defend (and I think he actually is the better of the two full backs and far better than people give him credit) he would still be miles better than Moreno.
People often said he could go forward but not to any level we see from our two fullbacks today.
That happened on a relative blank slate for our fans so it was the hope they hung to in trying to convince themselves he wasnt that bad - “He could play left wing as he’s good going forward. Remember that goal against Spurs?”
If it would have happened at the end of his final season it would have been seen as the same as Dosenna’s against Utd - “fuck they’re really shit. Even our LB scored.”
