Collage Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Everyone's opinion on Santon, except maybe Ronaldo's, properly does my head in. "Always cuts in", "he's a right back", "play him in midfield", "Left backs should be left footed" I dunno why it's always the same nonsense based on nothing. He's a naturally talented footballer that's defending has deteriorated and most of his game has remained exactly the same. He's still probably our best left back, but is just another example of young talent going absolutely nowhere under NUFC and under Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still probably our best left back, but is just another example of young talent going absolutely nowhere under NUFC and under Pardew. Completely agree. Same nonsense? He has the most predictable and easily defend-able attacking move in our team. He runs up field until he gets caught, then cuts inside. He cuts inside at the expense of attacks, creating space, and tries to compensate for what has to be an incredibly awful left foot as we've barely seen it. Sure his confidence is shot, and I 100% agree with you in regards to our classically stagnating youth development and I'll always () defer blame to Alan Pardew and the shambolic coaching. For the record, I wouldn't advocate this kid to play anywhere but LB or RB (when injury and suspensions) prove it necessary. Having said all that - he's still our best LB. But I still stand by wanting a player with more confidence, a left peg, or one who has more than just a "cut-in" tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does somebody who has played at left back for as long as he has not have a half decent left foot by now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 My reasons for not rating Santon are that he cant defend and his final ball is absolutely shocking. He can run with it really well though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Nothing but an annihilation on the cards here, same problems as last season ie Pardew. He just can't impose himself or a team on a match. Damage limitation from the off which will result in the usual capitulation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 They'll score early on, we'll huff and puff without doing much and City looking comfortable, and they'll kill it off in the last 10 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I think they'll want to put a bit of a marker down straight away. May not be an absolute battering but they'll win without getting out of 2nd gear. They'll coast it imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
