Aaron Wan-Bissaka - The Misunderstood

Facts:

- His crosses are poor
- He rarely shoots, and his last attempt was so off-target it might have ended up in the throw-in
- He struggles with aerial balls (but which fullback excels in the air?)

Also facts:

- He's one of the best defenders you need in big games, even outperforming Kyle Walker in high-stakes matches
- Kyle Walker is considered the best right-back in the league, yet he plays for attacking Manchester City and may go the entire season without a goal or assist, but still receives praise for his defensive work
- Wan-Bissaka is criticized for similar contributions, despite doing them better

Wan-Bissaka may not deliver great crosses, but he:

- Consistently moves the ball forward
- Plays with attackers and holds possession
- Rarely loses possession
- Makes runs that drag opposition players out of position, freeing up space for other attackers

Example: Manchester United's second goal vs Manchester City in the FA Cup final - Wan-Bissaka's run dragged two City players away from Fernandes, allowing him to play a perfect pass for Kobbie Mainoo to score

Don't soil Wan-Bissaka's name just because he doesn't fit the modern full-back mold. He might not be your starter, and Manchester United might sell him, but recognize his strengths. And give him his flowers.
