Weezertron Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I'd like to think he'll still start when taylor's ban ends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Thought he was absolutely ghastly down at Morecambe so relieved to hear he played well today. He's as much a footballing CB as I've ever seen for us, so I guess he suffered from the small pitch in that last game - dodgy passes n that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I'd like to think he'll still start when taylor's ban ends. Has to. I think Pardew will actually see that too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Must have tired arms after all the doors he slammed in Dazza Bent's face Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Very good CB when we play a high line. Don't think i'd fancy him as much if we're defending very deep. Fulham made it easy because they had no penetration whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...
Deuce 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.

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...
madras Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 better today but it was against a team that played to his strengths. good for his confidence anyway. 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...
Optimistic Nut 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
