He does not resemble a footballer atm ,never seen a player look so uncomfortable on a football pitch in many a year .Imho he is getting very little support from anyone in the side or off it but basic control is atrocious and his confidence looks shot.

5 at the back needs exceptional wing backs and tbf I think Debuchy could be good at it - he gets forward a lot for us already! It's just the other side that'd be a problem.

 

Agreed. But I don't feel comfortable at all with a back 3 of Colo - Williamson/Taylor - Mapou.

TBF to him I don't think it's any lack of confidence or talent. It's a complete lack of will. Think he's had enough. Benched while playing well as CB, not dropped when playing badly as RB, it's just like it doesn't really matter.

All you need to do is look at his first few appearances for us + look at him play RB last year + see him play for Montpellier to know that he was once a fully confident young man who was destined and billed to be a long-term CB with Sakho for France.  Fast forward to now, he looks 1/2 the player who was a captain of his club side, played champions league football, won a title and all that. 

 

We should have f***ing hired Rene Girard (his old Montpellier manager) who has proven his ability to get the best out of sides who have spent less money then others, get the most out of their youth products (thanks to managing the French U-21), and plays good football.  Proper football man at that.  Look at where he has Lille in the table when they've been pretty depleted over the past few years.

3 at the back doesn't really work outside of Italy.... even Juventus struggle majorly to translate their dominance at League level to Europe mainly because of the pitfalls surrounding the 352.

 

Basically we are shit and no amount of system change will fix it, just got to hope that one day the two c*nts who are mainly at fault for this mess f*ck off.
