Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has taken aim at Manchester United fullback Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
While Souness admitted Wan-Bissaka is a good defender, he fears his anticipation will never be good enough, forcing him to make rash, last-ditch lunges.
Writing for The Times, Souness claimed: "The stats say that Aaron Wan-Bissaka is one of the Premier League's top tacklers.
"But should he not be a bit more than that for £50million?
"Should he not be the complete package as a right back at that price?
"He's good defensively and one-on-one, but it's the other end of the game, which is so important for a full back now, that he's not so good at.
"Especially getting into the last third and delivering the right ball."
Souness continued: "I'd also like to see him stay on his feet more, rather than lunging into last-minute challenges.
"I'd rather have a defender who anticipates danger and deals with it without having to go on their backside all the time, which tells me you're not reading the game, than the top tackler.
"The minute you go to ground today, fouls will be given against you.
"Tackling is basically not allowed any more, it's discouraged in modern football and that trend is only going to continue."
