The College Dropout Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 He doesn't have the personality for CM. Like a Jermaine Jenas he has a lot of qualities but no steel or determination. You need characters in CM, someone to take the game by the scruff of the neck. To stand his ground, he can't even put a foot in at LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 so he made one mistake playing in a role he's never played in,against arguably the best MD in the country. So now he's s***? madness in this thread. EVERY goal is a mistake from someone, should we sell tiote when he doesn't track, cabaye? Anita? Well, tbf, i don't think he's much of a LB.

The College Dropout Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 he should have tracked Hazard for the first. Actually think he just got caught flat footed. Coupled with his non existent recovery pace i think it made it look like he'd f**ked worse than he had. Justa bad body position to start with. Would be due to being unfamiliar in the role i would think. It's not recovery pace, he just can't be arsed. Has no urgency to his game whatsoever. He's not in Italy anymore man. He's been here for a good while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 When you consider he gives up too easily, doesn't put a foot in, doesn't seem like a determined lad. I reckon his issue with running towards goal is more mental than physical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I like him and have high hopes for him here, but you see clear as day one of the replay angles from above that he's jogging back casually, ignoring Hazard who wants it more and ends up with a free shot at goal, and Santon isn't there to block it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Definitely seems to be a confidence type player. Some of his worst performances for the club always seem to be when his confidence is shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Definitely seems to be a confidence type player. Some of his worst performances for the club always seem to be when his confidence is shot. Think that was pretty much what happened at Inter. He had a promising start to his career, got injured and lost form coming back, was sent on loan, failed to make an impression and was sold to us.

Kanj Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 He was very good when he played RM a half last season. Think he scored that game too Which game? The Wigan away match that was a complete shambles of a match. Also the same match Debuchy got hurt, then Haidara came on for him and Santon switched to the right, and then finally Haidara's leg was nearly taken off by Callum Macca.

Can't remember any impressive performance from our players in that match. All I could remember vividly when Santon played on the right was him cutting back and then crossing with his left foot.
