U2 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thread title had me for a split of a split second Not much play went down his side, so that helped him look better today than against Southampton where he was battered all game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thread title had me for a split of a split second Same! much improved today. You can clearly see he was out to the wide positions trying to block the crosses in at least. Perez gave him a lot of help though it must be said.

joeyt Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Maybe we were too harsh on him after Southampton because Obertan gave him no protection whatsoever (same today but on the other side) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Maybe we were too harsh on him after Southampton because Obertan gave him no protection whatsoever (same today but on the other side) perez covered like a lunatic today and haidara didn't look as exposed imagine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 His final ball is still a bit iffy IMO, but much better today overall definitely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 His final ball is still a bit iffy IMO, but much better today overall definitely. Aye, needs to deliver quicker and be with better quality but he looked a fret. Was much better defensively today but Mata isn't the type to whip in crosses at RM which helped Haidara. Ayoze was great on Darmian. Better game from Haidara and a good performance, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Maybe we were too harsh on him after Southampton because Obertan gave him no protection whatsoever (same today but on the other side) Obertan was doing the same today, making a token effort to track back but basically just letting their wide players do what they wanted once he'd done that.

ponsaelius Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 He was far better with a footballer ahead of him. Incredible how much Obertan just stands around like a cunt when he hasn't got the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Hopefully McClaren realised today that having an actual player with intelligence and heart covering your left back, leads to your left back actually looking like a left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 He was far better with a footballer ahead of him. Incredible how much Obertan just stands around like a c*** when he hasn't got the ball. Obertan loves leaving overlapping fullbacks too. Imbecile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 got a soft yellow today, yet the manure players were getting away with worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Soft doesn't begin to cover it. I was honestly fuming about that yellow card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Much improved, amusing at how much more cover he gets from that beast of a hard working english defensive winger a technical spanish tiny no 10 than from fucking Obertan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 He's not a defender, that's why. Another player scraping around in France that 'we' expected to become a PL player through blind optimism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
