Danny Simpson (now retired)


Recommended Posts

I think he's a 4-4-2 rb, in sense he will stay back and expect rw to attack and he waited around admiring his tattoos on the half way line. Him and obertan had a good partnership down the right, Expecting him to bomb on and be like a right wing back just isn't his game and is where he falls (massively) short. Same as Williamson, he's not a cb that can play ball out from the back and when they ask him to it massively exposes their limitations! Back to partnerships their is none in the team and it shows. Last season we had Simeon and obertan for a spell, jonas with santon/taylor, colo and taylor, tiote/cabaye, best/ba - this year we'r losing as individuals and I think injuries are just a part of it.

 

I think in a well drilled back 4 Simpson will be fine, a spell last season when he performed well and we kept a load of clean sheets was an example of that! We rarely have this and our game has changed so he's no longer the rb we need, no hard feelings and never give him abuse he's one of the players that got us promoted and secure in prem (sort of) playing with knocks along the way.
