Skirge Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Perfectly fine to have that opinion, but to just say he's shit and always has been is garbage IMO. as it is fine for you to have that opinion, he has only ever looked half decent against teams that offered little threat.

ben-nufc Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 As awful as santon has been I think Debuchy has been as bad. Johnson and borini have taken the p*ss out of them both. I'd have to watch the game to make a judgement. Pardew has gone for a new formation and that might have everyone confused. Debuchy was arguably better going forward, but defensively Borini has having his pants down. Skinned him time and time again. Both fullbacks were a shambles.

Guest alijmitchell Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 His performances basically do not reflect the potential he has. Another player that is regressing here, and I f he had any sense should leave. His positional sense is poor, and his attempted clearance for goal 2 was indefensible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 His performances are made to look worse because he's now the go-to set piece man despite the fact that he can't cross and can't shoot. Who the fuck has made that decision? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 He's not even a good left back. Of the 'first eleven' he's the first I'd get rid of. Dummett is pathetic too, we need a left back. I'd even go with Mbiwa there once Col's back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest palnese Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 As mentioned, I really like him as a footballer, but I'm starting to doubt if he's a fullback. Would like to see him in a midfield three just for the hell of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dummett will go the way of Edgar, Huntington, Pattison, etc. Least he would have if we hadn't given him a mental contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got nothing to lose by giving him a few games now and seeing if he can adapt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 The only defence is that he's 'young'. Actually, you're age doesnt matter. It's all about experience, he's played 128 times at the top level, he's an experienced defender and that renders his age irrelevant. He's crap, he wont improve. Offers the grand total of fuck all going forward and is poor defensively, thats not even considering the lapses in concentration. Somehow, Santon has avoided much of the flak in his time here, hopefully folk will start to wake up and realise hes a fraud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I don't know why people rate him. I've never seen him have a good game for us, the same can be applied to Debuchy as well to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 He was poor today and I would have taken him off at half time for Haidara, bringing on Dummett to replace him was laughable and a waste of a substitution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all well and good getting forward but when your primary job is to defend and to stop crosses from coming in and you can't do that then whats the point? Simply by being rated he's over rated.

Stifler Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I think some of the mistakes Santon made today, I'd be looking at the coaching staff to rectify. He was constantly out of positions, either up away where Sammy should be or in the centre. If Sunderland's winger had any sense he would have been right over where Santon should have been and exploiting the gap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attackers are approaching him a different way and he has been given little guidance on it imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
