Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa joins AS Roma then Lyon

[Ste]

It'll come with experience. I think he's solid enough and you definitely get the feeling that he will only improve. Both him and Williamson were good, good effort from two lads that have never played together before (I don't think anyways)

[TherealnorthernTOON]

He just came from france, where the play is slower tempowise and the forwards press less then in the EPL. Offcourse it will take some time to get things right in regards of playing in posession. However his defensive play often are very good and will probably be even better with time. Should get a reliable partner for him as Saylor again proves he can't be counted on (allthough I love him to bits).

[AyeDubbleYoo]

He will learn to act slightly quicker for sure, but he will always take some risks because he's a ball player. His YouTube highlights are full of brilliant anticipation and runs out of defence.

[Tooj]

He'll be our greatest ever centre half.

[Dinho lad]

He'll be our greatest ever centre half.

 

if he's here long enough.

[Minhosa]

 

Perfect smiley use. Not sold on him as yet.

[Guest palnese]

Like Sissoko, started out great, but has faded badly.

 

Still think he'll turn out to be better than Colo.

[Jordan]

Really not sure on him. Positionally he's everywhere, the back four has no shape at all.

[Smal]

I think he's been pretty great on the whole, like. Better than our other January signings anyway.

I have personally been impressed with Debuchy the most but other than that he's performed than any of the others.

Oh aye, shit. Forgot Debuchy came in January. He's been the best followed by MYM.

[Skeletor]

Every one of our players are fading. There's a malaise sweeping through this team that doesn't look like it can be stopped.

[Ronaldo]

Physically he doesn't quite look up to this, like. A work in progress.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Agreed. Seemed to struggle with the physical elements today. I imagine he'll beef up a little over the summer, a la Colo a few years ago.

Indeed, got made to look silly a few times by Danny Graham. Without a doubt he will come good, but needs to work on the physical side of his game.

[Skirge]

Before he singed him he looked a strong fast decisive physical defender, one who loved to read the game win defensive battles and burst out from the back with the ball.. where is that player ?

I do not believe for a second that its the league he cannot cope with.

[AY]

Struggles a bit like Colo in his first season, nothing to worry I think. He will come good.

[Jack Flash]

There's been some very worrying lapses in concentration in his time here. Hopefully he'll get up to speed soon 

[Si]

Defo, just needs time.

[Dave]

Thought he was abysmal today tbh.

[Disco]

Absolutely schooled by Graham, things can only get better.

[TRon]

He should have been on Sessegnon for me. Another weird decision.

[joeyt]

It was clear that Mignolet was instructed to aim their goal kicks at MYM

[Andymc1]

Thought he was abysmal today tbh.

 

Totally agree with this. He really was shocking, Graham done him every time which makes me worry for the future.
