The College Dropout Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Horrible at fullback today. In the 3-5-2 with less defensive duties looked much better. He literally goes missing at FB. Worried if you thought we went 3-5-2, but as a wide player in 4-3-2-1 we switch to he did play well. Looked to me we went 3-5-2 when Shola went on.... Perch-Taylor-Yanga Santon Jonas Tiote-Marv-Siss With Santon at least pushing forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then had Toite, Sissoko and Santon right out wide right. Then stuck Cisse and Marv in behind Shola.....as lobsided as you can get.

Ronaldo Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I've always defended him on here but his defending recently has been dreadful. Hope this goal gives him a lift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the hope it might make him actually clear a ball when it gets to him in the area, he's absymal at being alert and positioned to clear balls. Hope you're right but his defending is the pits.

Dave Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Still think putting him at RB is stupid, even if it should work. Looks significantly less comfortable there to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Aye this isn't new. Has been horrible defensively all season. Aye when he was our best defender and one of our best players for the first 6 months he was s**** then too or it just didn't happen and we all imagined it Apart from the Southampton game( not including today and Haidara was just as to blame) he's been fine since the new signings, he's just the next in line of players to scapegoat. Funny how Haidara was poor defensively before his injury and against Anzhi but its never mentioned because he's the new boy ( best wishes to him in his recovery btw) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachikoma Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Maybe we can Balerise him. yeah I can see him performing better as a winger. I think he's our best RW right now, given that Marveaux and Sissoko don't fancy the position, but I don't think I can handle Simpson starting for us regularly again (if Debuchy is out).

I've thought he's been poor defensively all season, we all know this. It's not uncommon for the opposition to sling the ball to their LW area and Santon isn't there. 5 seconds later, he's still not there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Playing him further forward isn't even an option now after we've lost both Debuchy and Haidara. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icemanblue Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Great finish. Chuffed he got his goal, hopefully it'll restore some of his confidence from the start of the season. He's not Hitler, he's just been in bad form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Playing him further forward isn't even an option now after we've lost both Debuchy and Haidara. Amazing how we finally get a proper RB and cover at LB which also helps to get Santon some rest then fates proceeds to screw us up with 2 injuries to our winter signings in one match. This season...

Sammys_Tekkers Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Think we need to push him further forward next season, may mean we need to buy another LB sadly though if Haidara is out for a while, the finish today was brilliant, shame that we couldn't get something from the game.

Jordan Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Did look much better as an attacker today. Think when everyone's fit () he should be given a chance as a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
