I actually said he'd developed this part of his game.
I also said his attack is as good if not better than anyone.
So to use your oft used phrase, maybe you should go back and reread my post.
Saying that, my point is, improving your line management in the championship is great, but it isn't SL.
I'm sure he will develop further under Powell but I see this as an area he has to show his improvement this year.
For England, he doesn't really have a lot of competition as most teams have an overseas full back.
Welsby, Evalds, Hardaker at a push and Eckersley at Wigan as an outsider.
Fair enough, ultimately how Max gets percieved will come down a lot to how the team performs as a whole.
If we have a solid season and can get on the front foot enough to show some attacking plays and his skills then it will only help his cause.
England full backs as you say are a rarity anyway so that only improves his chances. Sometimes luck or lack of it can play a part in players getting caps.
