"And they're ongoing. [LNB]"I was delighted with Kieran last season, and the way he played at left-back. [LNB]"I think he's got his head around it now (playing at left-back) and he's OK. But of course he also can play in midfield and I'm not ruling that out. He's another player we have who can play in midfield."
