Guest icemanblue Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Love his positioning with an oncoming player. Has absolute confidence he's going to come out with the ball. So quick to recover as well. Really good game from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yanga Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Lad has world class potential. Simply has to start alongside Colo whenever possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 The perfect partner to Colo in games like this where were not under much trouble and he can just mop up with his pace. Away games maybe slightly different, like next game up against Benteke. Still think I'd have him ahead of Taylor everytime though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Not really tbh. But i've seen it in other games. I'm one of the least biased posters on this board. I have no dislike for any players nor any favourites. I just judge them based on what I see and not because they've won a few caps for France. It's a pattern on this board where I point something out and i'm told i'm wrong for weeks. Until the penny finally drops and it's obvious to everyone. Happened with Santon, Colo, Ciise and Sissoko and if Mapou keeps playing like this it won't be long before people actually see what's happening on the pitch. MYM was perfect today but now I feel a bit depressed after just finding out that eventually he'll be s****. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Pacey lil fella, but will most likely still be learning the trade when pressure is upon us... gonna be excellent for the long-term tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 He was comfortable against West Ham as well and they hardly play to his strengths..... I just think not only is this the most talented back 4 we have its also the one with the most understanding and chemistry. Mapou and Debuchy feed off each other very well, as do Colo and Santon ( seeing as they both speak Italian) and obviously for the most part Colo and MYM seem to understand each others strengths and weaknesses very well. That is 3 competitive games together now.... Metalist, West Ham and Fulham and not a single goal conceded, obviously bigger tests are to come but the signs are good.

madras Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 what i mean is they played in front of him, tried to shift ball round him. on the occasions they tried to go over him it was left to colo to stretch (very nearly worked on a couple of occasions) and they didn't really have much pace against him. all reasons why,again, fulham will struggle away this season.

thorin Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Interesting test will be Liverpool, Chelsea and maybe even Spurs. Obv will be nice to see if RVP gets one on him or not too, but Scum doesn't play possession like Pool f. ex. so it doesn't matter. His pace will help him alot if he can just keep up positioning and falling off at the right time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hatem garrincha Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 What a fucking player man. And fucking Deschamps didn't pick him. He gets 2 Koscielny in each leg. And how old is he ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggs Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Brought the ball out quick from defence looking for the midfield ,getting better with each game like Colo did and would be criminal if Taylor got back in now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our centre backs probably won't have an easier afternoon. Fulham only looked dangerous, as you state, with those lofted through balls and even then not really.

Darth Crooks Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 3rd clean sheet in a row. Would be insanity if he's dropped for Taylor next game. Taylor wants a stint in the reserves for week or 2 after that stunt. Brainless tit. I like him but he's got to cut that shite out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
