We conceded goals from fucking everywhere last year. Show me the stats which prove we let in more goals from the left when Morgan was playing. Otherwise I can't help but chalk this up to confirmation bias.
I don't care that Morgan is Canadian or an academy player, I care about his game. And I've seen enough of his game to know he's good enough to start for us, and will only improve if he keeps getting minutes.
I'd rather have Morgan pass backwards all day than boot long balls up the field to nobody, which Eckersley did multiple times today... but since you didn't see any of the multiple tackles Morgan put in today I'm guessing you missed Ecks' punts to the Columbus back line as well. If Morgan's final ball is so terrible you must think Eckersley is useless going forward given that Morgan has had more assists than him the last two years (making special note of the 0 assists in 23 games Eckersley tallied in 2011 - all played at RB). And yes, Eckersley can put a tackle in, but he can also be pretty reckless. He's been among our leaders in fouls committed the past two years, both years over a foul a game on average (Morgan remaining under a foul a game both years).
Eckersley sometimes tries to do too much. When things get hectic in the back he can be caught chasing/watching the ball, trying to make that tackle or intercept that pass, but losing his man in the process. Off the top of my head,
here he is completely forgetting about his man the instant Henry touches the ball in the box. Now please don't find a similar clip of Morgan because I'm well aware they exist. My point is Morgan's a capable player and to suggest otherwise is unfair... and to suggest he's garbage, like you are, is flat out ridiculous.
Also, I want to be clear: I like Eckersley. A lot, in fact. He's our best 1v1 defender, his work rate is phenomenal, his passing is good enough and he gets involved in the attack well (though his crossing needs a ton of work). The only reason it looks like I'm picking on him is because you're comparing Morgan to him as if Eckersley does no wrong and Morgan does no right. They both have strengths and weaknesses. You're ignoring both Eckersley's weaknesses and Morgan's strengths.
And for the record, I couldn't possibly give less of a shit about how much football you've played or how much you claim to know about the game. It's irrelevant to me and only serves to make you look arrogant by bringing it up. I'm confident in my ability to understand the game and accurately assess the players who play it.
