The College Dropout Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Should've defended both goals better. He should have also reacted after the initial header for the second goal like Saylor instead of being a statue, might've prevented the goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I thought he was mint. It's brilliant having players with a first touch like his. Proper velvet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Defensively a bit iffy today IMO, not his best game from that perspective though against two of the best wingers in the league for me. Lush as ever going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Arguably worse than Simpson defensively today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I thought he played really well, he certainly wasn't at fault on the goal, if anybody was it was Simpson for letting the cross in. Lennon certainly did skin him once, but he'll go past most players once he's in the box at speed, trying to tackle him will always likely to result in a penalty.

Froggy Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Shocked to see negative criticism of Santon in here. Watched the game as a neutral and he was my man of the match until Ben Arfa won and converted the penalty. Top class performance IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 The problem was that he rarely plays against players who are quicker than him but he had two yesterday in Lennon and Walker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson gets beaten by Lennon for the goal and he receives criticism, Santon gets beaten by Lennon and Bale hits the post and nothing is said. I think he actually won the header at the far post for the goal but she should definitely have reacted the same way Defoe & Saylor did, instead he stood still. He won't get better if we don't mention the weaknesses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest frazernufc Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I cant be the only one thinking that If Santon is ever converted to RB, he'll leave us exposed without the help of Jonas shifting back when Santon goes forward and helping him. With HBA not a defensive player and is the one sort of given the free role in our midfield, I reckon Santon will be wanting to get forward whenever he sees that space infront of him. Just think it could cause us problems defensively, but on the other hand the thought of Santon and HBA attacking down the right makes me drool Hopefully the idea of this will be pointless at the end of the window though if we manage to get you know who.

ATB Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I´m disappointed with his start of the season. He hasn´t been good at all. Neither offensively or defensively. I´m not doubting his capacity. But he hasn´t started well (like many others) And what is this myth that he must have Jonas in front of him? If he played at the right with HBA in front of him. On of our midfielders could fill in, or one of the center backs with a midfielder to drop back. It could be solved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TurboTrev Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 IMHO Santon is a very average defender who sometimes looks good going forward - for me we need new right and left backs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
