Guest antz1uk Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I actually think our answer here is to play MYM at RB with Taylor at CB with Colo and Santon/Dummett/Haidara fight it out for LB with Santon clearly in the lead. I think this allows MYM to continue to adapt to the league, he's got much more recovery pace, he's probably better at positioning and won't be caught too far up the pitch. didnt MYM finish the season playing a few games at LB last season and looked really good? or have i imagined that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Think Debuchy is bloody good at heading for a full back. Gets a great leap considering his size. The difference between him and Danny 'ball just occasionally hits my face' Simpson in this aspect is staggering. Agree with this he's handy in the air for his position. For some reason teams target him aerially too.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Did MYM play LB against City? He was hopeless. Think it's RB if he's not to play at CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did look bad at Man City, but I believe everyone looked bad that night. Did MYM play LB against City? He was hopeless. Think it's RB if he's not to play at CB. I honestly think the best way to use him until he adapts to the league's physicality and speed is to play RB behind Ben Arfa. He'll not need as much help, he'll be less caught-out, he's faster than Debuchy, everytime he's crossed the ball in attacking positions or gone forward he's looked dangerous (I don't see him lofting 1 single cross that is for sure) and he'll be able to contest aerial balls with not as physical wide players. Sides we play against target Debuchy for his lack of pace and always being out of position, this basically solves that, while fixing our lack of physicality at CB with Taylor/Willo pairing with Captain Colo.

Ronaldo Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I don't like him much but he's a far better defender now than he was at when he broke through 9 years ago. Never had a game in his career as bad as Debuchy's against Hull, fwiw. Alkamaar Away Absolute nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 More faith in him coming good for us than Santon, he is used to the league and seems to be making no progress at all. Word fail me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Anyone else a member of the get Santon on the right fan club? Sick of having a full back that cuts in, particularly when the player playing wide left is already looking to cut in. Can we please develop Santon on the right. Thanks.

Tiresias Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 We've seen Santon on the right and he cuts in just as much and is less effective at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Too many people are concerned far too much about a fullbacks ability to attack or support when really one on each side who can defend would be far more effective to the team overall.

Optimistic Nut Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 We've seen Santon on the right and he cuts in just as much and is less effective at it. Yep. I just don't think he's confident in his crossing and his natural instinct is to cut in and either shoot or lay it off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that. I'm desperate for Santon to succeed though, think he's a beautiful footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 A good coach would have him stopping behind after training working on his left/crossing everyday. Potential is all there but he's stagnating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
