Kanj Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 He needs to start cutting in earlier if I'm honest. He tends to get sussed out easiest when he runs down the left, tries to cut in then gets tackled. His best runs seem to be when he's in a diagonal and there is some overlapping or movement (some...little...) in front of him for him to open up for a shot or pass. He's got a pretty good right foot on him too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tollemache Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Yeah I like it when he drives in towards goal. Let Jonas make space for him and then cover the counterattack Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
basjen Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 If we get Haidara and he can handle PL now, I hope Davide get some games in a more offensive role. Even though he can't cross to save his life, he is great 1v1, and he might be defensive enough for Pardew as well, so Jonas could be benched. He would be a much better option than Jonas further up the wing, that's for sure. I really hope we are bringing the other lad in just for competition and not replacement as would be good to have a options in both full back positions with Santon capable of playing both sides if issues with Debuchy. Totally the end of Simpson, be surprised if he is here at end of month like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Still a promising but raw talent. Potential is obviously there but his form has dipped unsurprisingly since he's been playing alongside weaker players. Think he'll be an excellent full back in time just like Enrique. Maybe just needs more time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 He's almost brilliant now, he'll be brilliant in the future. He would benefit from playing with a winger who can go outside and provide space, but that's about it IMO. Otherwise just play him and enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Good attacker, utterly hopeless at defending unless with ultra cover. Ball watcher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Good attacker, utterly hopeless at defending unless with ultra cover. Ball watcher. he's a good defender but he needs cover/support for when he's pushed up. i think the couple of occasions recently of him getting caught out with the ball inside him are naivety.

I think personally he's just on the wrong side, hinders him going forward and defensively. Imo would make a blinding right fullback or potentially as he's so good going forward a right winger. Just cause he's played at leftback for us and in the end for inter doesn't mean hes a full back, he was a left winger when Mourinho converted him to a leftback.

Unlucky Luque Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 It seems every single shot he has had at goal has been on target since he's joined us. Only a matter of time before one goes in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I thought he looked more like his old self yesterday. Still can't cross from wide positions but he brought the ball forward well and linked well with the midfield when he cut inside, especially in the first half.

Norseman Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 He's a great player and in 10 or 15 years when he becomes the new Maldini or Facchetti, with 200 or 300 Inter games under his belt, in that moment I'll remember his debut," Mourinho says. "In my view Santon is a right-back who can also play in midfield, principally in the position currently taken by Javier Zanetti. His versatility will be very important in his career. For example, Beppe Bergomi played as a centre-back, on the right or left and now Zanetti can play pretty much anywhere. All this is because they have character and confidence". Mourinho on Santon. Probably been posted before but I just feel its worth reminding ourselves of the potential he still has. http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/29037782.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubbish, he's performed well without Jonas and performed poorly without Jonas, the main reason he performed poorly was playing basically 3 games in a week. No coincidence he's been better since he's gone back to playing just once a week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
