    He absolutely can. Starfelt was good defensively, as is Scales, and had some very dodgy moments in games.

    If Starfelt was asked to be as progressive on the ball as Scales is, everyone would slaughter him. Ange system made it easier for the defenders to find a pass than it is under Rodgers. Those dodgy blind back passes gave me nightmares and I was a fan of his overall.

    Starfelt was faster but that's about it.

    He can't. Starfelt and CCV as a partnership barely lost a game together, and Starfelt had far less poor moments than Scales.

    Disagree with the poor moments. Starfelt had plenty of dodgy moments.

    Also Scales has lost just 1 of his last 40 domestic games, regardless of partner, so his record holds up.

    He's definitely been our best player this season. Certainly most consistent.

    Agreed he has played better recently but he still has nightmare passes in him.

    Done well with his battle with Bowie today. Happy to take the booking, but the guy was a handful for CCV as well.

    You know its been a poor start to the season when Scales is comfortably our best player.

    I don't know if it's me, but I just don't get the hype with him at all. Easily rolled by some strikers, caught out of position often, cannot pass a ball 10 yards.
    Effort is not in question, but we could do a helluva lot better.

    The fact that he tried to get touch tight to Bowie twice within the space of 5 mins and got rolled both times was slightly alarming but generally solid again.

    Thought Bowie was a handful for both Scales and CCV tbh.

    Didn’t think it was his best game, but it’s another clean sheet. Least of our worries at the moment.

    Scales is our best defender. Becoming just as solid as ccv. Amazing to see because of where he started. Shows what developing a player by playing them can do.
