LRD 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. Ah. 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.

Just remember around that time Callum McManaman played like Gillespie on steroids. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that happened. Many, many matches last season were some of the worst I've ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going forward yes, defensively it was absymal and if you're playing as a DM that's a major part of job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensively he's abysmal anywhere you play him, i just can't help but still really like him I'd still have him on my team sheet every week. Still young and learning the game.

Guest reefatoon Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Bit of a quandary here. I need my naked eye to look at those stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Means fuck all. How much pressure did we put Chelsea under really? Apart from the odd counter we were well and truely getting bossed out there so ofcourse their defenders won't have made as many tackles etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I know we hate stats, (me included) but he bettered Matic in terms of his defensive contribution. I thought he did alright. I posted the stats on the other page but: http://i62.tinypic.com/2wdr8dg.png http://i61.tinypic.com/dnm5g2.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/15nve6e.png Would have loved it if Pardew popped that line in as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Stats mean shit, they can only tell a fraction of what goes on. Santon is a good footballer but a terrible defender at the moment. Nobody with half a brain wouldn't see it, know it and wouldn't be fooled by a thick as fuck idiot like Pardew.

BrettNUFC Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I thought he did alright, if it was a new signing and not Santon who people are starting deliver a bit of abuse to for his performances this season, i don't think they would be saying too much about the performance. Was his first game there for us there against the strongest home side in the league and i thought he did a decent job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I honest to God thought he played well just watching it, I feel like he's catching far too much hate. Mourinho also said the same as Pardew tbh. I'm only really posting the stats to back up what I felt I watched from him. Had Moussa been able to take a halfway decent first touch he'd have an assist. Thought exactly the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 He was ok but just lacks that bit of urgency and desire to put in a last ditch tackle or block. Also there's no heading stat which would be useful defending against a team using a lot of long balls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
