AlanSkÃrare Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Feel sorry for him. Seems like such a likeable guy and really likes the club. Than pass last night was criminal and really cost us. Hope he rediscovers his early season form and doesn't lose all confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 The amount we pass back to our keeper, I am surprised it's taken this long for this to happen! We actually have quite decent possession stats in Europe. But about 90% of it seems to be in our half. 10 passes along the back 4, lay it back to the keeper, hoooooof. Rinse and repeat.

Ronaldo Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Unfortunately in the last 2 seasons we've facilitated his learning curve as a defender and at times it's really cost us. Just hope he learns and we reap the benefit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope he learns and we reap the benfit. I shudder to think how many chances and as a result goals he has (in)directly cost us this season.

Dokko Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Might be alone, but I feel sorry for him. He looks so fucking burnt out, and has done for three/four months. Looks a little disinterested when he's in our half. Hope we can claw our way to safety, and he can have a restful summer. Such a talent. If Haidara gets back to fitness, I'd definitely play Santon further up. Hasn't got his head on straight enough atm to be in a back four. The backheel-on-the-post the other day and today are costly mistakes for us which we can't afford going forward until May. At least if he does something daft on the wing, there's still a back four behind him. Agree with all that, he looks knackered. Huge mistake last night, unfortunately I can't see him coming back from it with a great performance, he's hanging on in there as it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Such an uncharacteristic mistake from him as well. His strength is his dribbling and his passing. If someone in my Sunday League side made a pass like that I'd be fucking livid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Most of his mistakes are due to poor judgment, tbh. As was last night's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 He doesn't reacts like a defender for me, usually when the ball is put into the back post from the opposite side to him, he is re-active not pro-active as proper defender would be.

Scotty66 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Not writing him off,and wouldn't want him to leave. But if Milan and Anzi start chucking silly money offers at us,which they're both more than capable of doing,I'd definitely have to consider it.

Nah Milan aren't in fact no Italian club at the moment is, they are just not capable of it. Anzhi might do though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 No way would I sell him, He was easily our standout player in the early parts of the season, and this team has been utter dog s*** all season. I'd sooner get rid of the manager Not to mention you'd have to change your name and avatar. Fuck that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I wouldn't look to sell any player we don't know to be outright shit until we sort ourselves out anyway. There's been a lot of dodgy performances this season and as a whole we just haven't looked comfortable on a football pitch at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been a lot of dodgy performances this season and as a whole we just haven't looked comfortable on a football pitch at all. I agree and I've been one of the more critical players of Santon since he joined. Some of those comments about him not being a natural defender I agree with and he appears to be very much a confidence player too and one who maybe struggles under pressure a little bit. Thankfully all of these can be worked on, whether we have the coaching staff to do so...I'm not so sure. Would still in the long term prefer a leftie at LB though if we going to persist with inverted widemen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep Santon is a player who this season has been involved in some of the good stuff, but also as much with the bad stuff too. He has the tools and definitely the potential to be a great player, but he needs to sort out his defensive side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering this i would like to see a natural left winger purchased, Santon comes inside and he the player in question goes outside while on the other side Hatem comes inside (when he's actually bloody fit) and Debuchy goes outside.

But there's potential for a class player there imo. Selling him would be stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
