Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa joins AS Roma then Lyon

[Mole_Toonfan]

Not denying he wasn't s*** man, but there's a fundamental flaw with how we defend in front of the back 4.

 

Its abysmal and isn't doing the back 4 any favors what so ever whether they are s*** or not.

[Crumpy Gunt]

Utter fucking shit this lad.

 

Is now well behind Williamson in the pecking order.

Agreed. But not competing for headers, running away from the ball and rival players is just terrible.

[Lotus]

Oddly enough, i could still see the logic of starting him against Frazer Campbell.

[Foluwashola]

I've never seen a CB so willing to run away from the ball. Perhaps unfair, but so angry with this lad tonight.

 

Has to put in some graft to make up for that horror show.

[Guest]

We need to sign a CB capable of handling the likes of Lukaku and is young enough to build a great partnership with Mapou.

 

We had one 11 years ago but signed Bramble instead. Distin is still head and shoulders above our centre-backs even at 35.

[Minhosa]

Hope tonight wasn't his Cacapa or Boumsong moment.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

He has to start, all the alternatives are worse. He had a bad night tonight, but he was better than Colo.

[Guest bimpy474]

Making Titus look like Baresi at the moment.

[nufc4eva]

He was utter garbage, rather have willo or Taylor

[Guest neesy111]

Tbf, if anyone is going to be dropped then it should be Colo imo.

[Ronaldo]

The only CB that has to start is Taylor. He's the only one that can compete physically, for a start. Brainless fucking idiot and a detestable cunt for the most part but I'd rather see him in the middle of defence than anyone else.

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Colo, our f***ing captain, was much, much worse tonight.

[Ronaldo]

Colo's about as much a captain as his mate Jonas.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Starting Taylor over him after this would be massive overreaction. We gots to chill. Colo was a lot worse tonight.

[Foluwashola]

Apart from the random 'detestable cunt' bit, I agree. Has become the standard to long for 'ball-playing' defenders but, as always, defending is the most important factor.

 

Colo and Taylor please.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

What happens when Taylor is skinned by someone with pace though, gives away a soft pen, or makes one of his other mental errors?

[Mole_Toonfan]

Taylor can't even compete physically with Aguero.... another classic case of players getting better and better the longer they are out.

 

Taylor wouldn't have done anything different, the end result would have been the same.

 

As i said the problem isn't the back 4, its what happening in front of them until that is fixed we will always be shit defensively even if we get the big, bad and ugly bastard you long for.

[Foluwashola]

Taylor is error prone, no doubt, but Mbiwa at the minute is even more of a liability. Lad hasn't got the physicality or the brain yet for the Premier League. Needs dropping.

[Ronaldo]

It's not random, it's based on 10 years of him simulataneously licking the arses of both the fans and whoever influences his position in the squad instead of showing integrity and willingness to further his place and perception through improvement.

We simple can't afford another performance like that. He's got to sit the next one out. Whether it's for Taylor or Williamson, he simply cannot start the next game.

[Ronaldo]

It's been close to a decade since Taylor defended as bad as Colo and MYM did tonight. There's no excuse for that fucking shit tonight.

 

And Aguero? He's a strong lad and a brilliant footballer with a low centre of gravity, why bring him into it?

And Colo, who was quite a bit worse?

What about Colo or Santon, whose performances were no better?

I wouldn't say he was quite a bit worse, to be honest. As bad, perhaps. He's our captain, and has more experience to bounce back. He's done it before.
