The College Dropout Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Not sure he's a Benitez type fb. But i hope both of them can work well together Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe_next_year Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 absolute shite today, two full backs easily the worst players on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Wish we had another right back so we can bench this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 He's so fucking clumsy at times. Needs to cool down and use his brain, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucaAltieri Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 We're relying on him too heavily to get in behind defenses. We need to work on other options going forward so his role can decrease and he can just focus on his defensive work. When that's sorted maybe then have him contributing more to attacking play. He looks shit because he's on the ball so bloody often, trying to create something and generate some forward momentum. Imagine if Gary Neville at the height of his career had played a similar role with nothing but dross in front of him, little movement from teammates, and the right wing was all his responsibility. He'd have looked equally limited and gash. Neville looked decent because he was involved going forward sparingly and as a third runner - an extra option. He wasn't the primary option of attack.

The College Dropout Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Actually tried to defend today. Got beat a fair few teams but was okay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 He's clearly a RWB in the classic Dutch mould e.g. can't defend much. They say most fullbacks are either failed wingers or failed CB's... definitely failed RM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 He actually got himself into trouble trying to go backwards a few times, which is not like him - think he's been told not to push forward too much and struggled to find the right balance.

TRon Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Quite noticeable that when he lost the ball on his forward forays he sprinted back like a lunatic to try and recover his error. That in itself was a massive improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Was clearly much more disciplined as well, good to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugoinufc Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 im not a fan atm ...he is frustrating to watch. poor decisions! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 They mentioned it on the commentary a few times. Needs to check his run until the midfielder or attacking player in front of him has control of the ball before sprinting down the line to offer wide support. A few times Mitrovic/Shelvey/Wijanldum miscontrolled or were tackled and Janmaat had already been too far up the pitch and had to recover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 One of our most attacking players and yet he is a left (right) back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 He's declined more than any player I can remember. Probably because he actually has standards and gets annoyed at the shit show he's a part of, but still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 It's noticable how Benitez has told him not to get quite so far forward in the last few matches. Problem is that's by far and away the best and most consistent part of his game. The rest fluctuates massively from match to match. Pants today.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Fullbacks need to know their role TBH. When your fullback is your best attackers it's always a worry for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 He needs replacing at the end of this season, no matter what division we're in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachikoma Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Hangs us out to dry when he runs forward. Wouldn't if we had a decent team/set up. But for now he needs to stay in position. Easier said than done, as that's his style...but he needs to. At very least he should bust a gut bombing back. He didn't today. Luckily for us he wasn't punished very much for it, since Sunderland were having too much fun running circles around Colback on the other flank.
