He has done well in that role so far, averaging one chance created and three crosses in the attack, along with 2.5 tackles and 1.5 clearances in the defense. The defender should remain in this role, discounting any injuries, as he has started in all but two matches this season for West Ham, only missing two contests in the UEL.
