Mole_Toonfan Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 The biggest compliment i can pay him is that Colo's injury has hardly been felt at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Loved it when diarra was running through the middle with pace, Mapou waited and waited then just jumped in shielded the ball and passed it out. Something I've never seen from one of our defenders before but utter class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 The biggest compliment i can pay him is that Colo's injury has hardly been felt at all. Absolutely right. Imagine if we had old Moke strutting his stuff out there last night instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 That pass what was he thinking? As everyone says apart from that he was brilliant, and I like the partnership between him and Taylor. Never ever looks flustered at the back and always looks to win the ball cleanly staying on his feet. Reminds me of prime Ledley King in that regard.

aussiemag Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 There was another time where he gave the ball away , when there was a clear pass on his blind side. They then were in on goal. It was clearly down to miscommunication at the back. Once he learns the language a bit better, He's going to be fucking brilliant, actually he already is fucking brilliant.

AlanSkÃrare Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 With him and Taylor playing like this, we stop teams from winning headers in the box and they struggle to get in behind us because of Mapou's pace. The way he handled Eto'o last night was perfect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he handled Eto'o last night was perfect. Watched the last 5 mins of the match when I got home as the missus recorded it for me, was great to see Eto'o look so frustrated and thoroughly p*ssed off when the ref didn't let them kick off at the end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Having someone at the back with real pace gives us another dimension in defence, great stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimburst Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Aye, I'm pretty sure I saw him struggling with his smoking jacket before he misplaced that pass. Wardrobe malfunctions happen to the best of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 He's absolutely fantastic, someone got laughed at on here for saying he was already better than Colo, I think he is. The fact he's only 23 is frightening, he's so good at so many aspects of defending, and is excellent on the ball too. The sky's the limit with him, I hope he achieves that potential with us.

Wilson Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 The sky's the limit with him, I hope he achieves that potential with us. Think he will if we match his ambition, no reason why we can't with the players we have, especially if we keep up this level of recruitment. Can't believe he plays for us, seemed a pipe dream when we were first linked (admittedly I didn't know much of him then but reading reviews etc and the teams he was linked with had me sure we would never get him) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me Aye, that's right, I couldn't believe the reactions. He does everything Colo does, in terms of reading the game, distribution and intercepting, but actually adds a good degree of physicality and athleticism too. Suits Taylor down to the ground as well, one cool as you like character, one absolute mentalist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the ability to be the main centre back in a title-challenging/winning side, I'm not sure that's an ambition we can match in the next 5 years, even with our excellent recruitment.
