He's been fine apart from the penalty, harsh lesson but he's also tracked Hazard well and kept him relatively quiet. He's a good player and it's not been a mess of a debut.

 

One assist, one goal in one half  :lol:

 

An assist being a simple pass and the goal being a penalty? He's had the odd moment in the half but he's hardly shredded us to pieces like some are suggesting.

 

If its a simple pass then surely he should have it covered, and it was a pen he gave away. He was canny shit in that spell, but im not going to lose sight in that its his debut, against a good side with unknown attacking quality and he had 90mins in mad heat 48 hours ago.

 

I don't think anyone is assigning him to the scrap heap after one game, but you can only comment on what you've seen. There's nothing wrong with tbh

Why should he be covering the pass when Hazard was with the 2 centre backs on the edge of the box? Also being 'kept quiet' refers to open play not penalties, a spot kick that Hazard didn't win I might add. He nicked it off him a good 4 or 5 times and tracked him endlessly, to put it simply he did the majority of his role well and wasn't disastrous at all.

He'll come good, learnt a lesson today. Cabaye gave a pen away in one of his first games last season aswell or a backpass that lead to one anyway. Cant remember.

 

Spurs at home and Chelsea at home :)

Lets not be stupid here, it was you who said he did a good job on Hazard not me. The pen is still his fault whichever way your try to gloss it.

So Anita should have been tracking Hazard on the edge of the the box while a CB was already marking him? That would have left us with a bit of a numerical disadvantage. Whatever way you try to gloss it, Hazard scoring a penalty has no relation at all with Anita keeping him fairly quiet in open play for large parts of the game, this isn't particularly difficult to comprehend.

Give this lad another 10 games under his belt and he'll start to shine.

 

Problem with our midfield compared to the top 4 sides is how solid they are at the back. Our players are often restricted because they know they've got to double up quickly to help out an average right and left back.

 

Get some real quailty and we'll see our midfield pushing that bit further forward.

without the penalty I'd have said he'd done ok but was obviously a little caught out by the pace of the game and a little fatigued from thursday. Saying that though, I can't stand seeing penalty's like that, Torres 100% playing for it and worst of all he was about to run straight into colo. :( shame but onwards and upwards.
