Davide Santon (now retired)

Great finish. Chuffed he got his goal, hopefully it'll restore some of his confidence from the start of the season. He's not Hitler, he's just been in bad form.

Playing him further forward isn't even an option now after we've lost both Debuchy and Haidara.

 

Amazing how we finally get a proper RB and cover at LB which also helps to get Santon some rest then fates proceeds to screw us up with 2 injuries to our winter signings in one match.

 

This season... :anguish:

Horrible at fullback today. In the 3-5-2 with less defensive duties looked much better.

 

 

He literally goes missing at FB.

 

Worried if you thought we went 3-5-2, but as a wide player in 4-3-2-1 we switch to he did play well.

 

Looked to me we went 3-5-2 when Shola went on....

 

                  Perch-Taylor-Yanga

  Santon                                    Jonas

                      Tiote-Marv-Siss

 

 

With Santon at least pushing forward.

 

Nah, he kept the back four with Perch, Saylor, Mapou and Jonas.

 

Then had Toite, Sissoko and Santon right out wide right.

 

Then stuck Cisse and Marv in behind Shola.....as lobsided as you can get.

 

Great management like :(

 

 

Nope we definitely had a back 3.

 

 

Would you like me to take pictures?

We did , 3 centre halves Perch, Taylor and Mapou with Santon and Jonas pushed into midfield.

Santon was outstanding (relatively speaking of course) defensively in the first three months of the season.

 

That's because jonas helped him out most of the time.

So, I see he scored his first goal for the club from right back  :naughty:

 

I was convinced he was going to score a screamer in the derby. I'll still let him, though.

We're short on natural width in midfield too, which makes Haidara's injury that much more galling. Wouldn't have minded seeing us having the option of a Debuchy-Santon right flank with a Haidara-HBA left flank (should we ever revert to the madness that is 4-4-2 :laugh:)

Dreaming of next season/a world free of injures^ - robust on paper :lol:

 

Presumably Colo will be off in the summer.

 

Well, a guy can dream.

:lol: Get in

 

Haha, really? I missed the last half hour. I should've left the right wing bit in my sig!

 

I thought you were on the wind up :lol:

 

He looked to me to be operating as a right midfielder for a lot of the second half.
