The Elliott to Deano's Charlotte maybe back on the cards

Can someone explain this for me please
"Dean Smith sees Harvey Elliott as a right half-space receiver, connecting underlaps and pinning the last line. Charlotte should set up a 3+2 rest defence behind him. On loan at Villa from Liverpool, using a DP slot is a tidy bit of business."
Fuck knows what right half space receiver is but Designated Player (DP) in the MLS is a player whose high salary and acquisition costs are largely exempt from the league's salary cap.
Well, I’d take the “right” in “right half-space receiver” as being the same kind of phrase as right in “he’s a right idiot” or “he’s a right twat”, so it’s clearly not complimentary as “right” before anything (“you’re a right jellyfish”) is insulting.
So it’s just down to what a half-space receiver means, although we know it’s not complimentary. I reckon half-space probably means something similar to dimwit. You know, a sandwich short of a picnic. 3 cans short of a six pack. A half-space.
“Receiver” probably just means that he orders loads shit off the internet, so he’s constantly getting packages that he’s having to sign for.
It’s the only logical conclusion to that phrase.
