AlanSkÃrare Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Don´t understand why he always runs into players really starts to be quite annoying. How you can call anything annoying is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I often find with end product as far as fullbacks go at least that it's the last thing to improve in their development. Take Baines for example, at Wigan he was a good player but his end product is no where close like it is now. The more experienced Santon gets and the more confidence he gets from playing every week is likely when things like end product will come. But the rest of his game is coming along fantastically and surely won't be too long before he starts to get international recognition. He's always had a wand of a left foot though so that was always going to come. Yeah agree, pretty sure he was banging in free kicks for Wigan.

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 When i said end product i meant from open play and overall decision making in and around the box, Baines has significantly improved in that regard in last few years. Santon seems to struggle in that regard at the moment but i'm sure it will come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 He's never gonna be like Baines other than them both being attacking fullbacks. If he would cut in more and have some shots or look to slip passes in behind the defence for the strikers it would make up for his inability to cross the ball with his left foot.

Not saying that just using an example that Baines also took a while to improve his end product i would like/think Santon has a similar development.

durhamunigeordie Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Exactly, in isolation Santon is probably better on the left, but a Santon - Fergie combo is preferable to a Simpson - Santon one for me. That said, Simpson did somehow manage to look like a competent defender against the mackems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Simpson always looks a competent defender man, that's not the problem we have with him its his link up play and attacking threat is the issue with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Looked abit lost when comming to that final third part. Also looked out of his comfortzone when he couldn't cut inside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i felt he looked more comfortable on the left i can see what he's on about in the interview where he talks about Pardew seeing him as a LB.

Pata Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 He should just simply use his left foot more. He put one lovely first touch cross in against some team which clearly showed he's left isn't as poor as everyone thinks. 21 ffs, can't wait to see him in couple of years.

The College Dropout Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 He needs to develop some proper attacking "moves" if that makes sense. Whether it's a favourite pass, a shot, something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Think it takes Fergie 20 minutes to get himself into the game. Which isnt good enough for premier league level yet. Needs to be ready from the get go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Yeah. I do like him, his pace is a threat and he's improved defensively, but i'm yet to see him play a killer ball or deliver a cross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
