Away Toon Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The fact that Debuchy plays really well for France shows what a good player he is. The fact that he is generally shit playing for us says a lot more about the club than the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Why isn't he their first choice then? The lad's good going forward when he has time and space but he's a poor defender with no recovery pace. It's that simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Even for us, Debuchy has been far too criticised for the level of performance he's delivered IMO. He would get into many PL teams (he says without thinking of their RBs). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would get into many PL teams (he says without thinking of their RBs). I think what you mean to say is that he has put in a few extremely terrible and mentally weak performances that may cloud the opinion of him when he simply has average or solid matches. I would agree with this, but he has still been a poor signing thus far and played well below the standard you would expect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 In defence of Debuchy he has playing with pretty much the worst defence in the league since he joined last January. Defensively we were terrible last season and so far this season only the mackems have conceded more than us. Can't be very good for his confidence.

I like that your defence of Debuchy is to say that he's part of the worst defence in the league (although I get what you're saying, obviously).

Guest Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 The defence is the one area of the team where we've actually spent the going rate on players as well. (just under £30m on the first choice back four) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who suggested that? But let's face it, he isn't a good player. He's a decent footballer who can't defend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben-nufc Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 It's either money not very well spent or the most useless coaching in modern history. 65 international caps between them could suggest it's the latter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 It's effective though, isn't it? Players would shuffle forward previously and can't do so now. It did cross my mind though, have there been any goals directly from FKs yet?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did cross my mind though, have there been any goals directly from FKs yet?! None. I don't think it is an issue to being with, frankly. It is not as if the referee actually takes out his utensils or his laser and measures out exactly ten yards. It has always been the referee just arbitrarily lining the players up and watching that they don't move too much. What will happen if the players are only 9.3 yards away from the ball? Will people die? No. Just line the players up and book them if they move too much. You don't need to leave your rubbish all about the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
