Tachikoma Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I didn't mean 4 good CBs, just defenders. Krul Debuchy MYM Colo Santon We've always had a weak link somewhere, but on paper it doesn't look like we have one now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Is this the first time in NUFC history that we've had 4 good defenders at the club? Its definitely the first since I started supporting the club in 2001. Williamson I'd label competent to a point rather than good Think he is referring to our starting back four? I'm not sold on Santon's defensive abilities just yet. Has a lot of development left in him IMO, particularly in respect of his starting positions. Debuchy, I haven't seen enough of, and same for M'Biwa probably. I'm a gloomy misery guts lately though. Could be though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 We all thought Cisse and Ba would be the next Cole and Yorke when Papiss signed but didn't work out. No guarantees Colo and Mapou will complement eachother either but we can hope. Only weakness i can see would be the lack of height for set pieces but then i remember how Williamson was often weak as piss against smaller players anyway.

The difference is that both Mapou and Colo are good all-rounded footballers, while Ba and Papiss are very "specialised" in a sense. Mapou isn't huge but going by youtube, his positioning and timing for defensive headers is amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Unfortunate for Saylor, but he has become a liabilty with injuries. Wont be long until he is whining about not get games again. He should get two games in Europe at least! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnonel Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Assuming Colo doesnt go, i think we are ok now. Need to let kids like Street, Satka, Good develop through as well. If Colo goes, thats a different story Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
