Ikon Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Not as strong, quick or as good in the air as TCD thought he'd be Imo he's exceeded my expectations. Keep it up lad, very good so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Does TCD not reckon he's a brilliant defensive shuttler who's a master of gegenpressing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 He looks a fine footballer to me. And he takes the initiative with the ball which I like. Not sure how good a defender he is. Was very poor for one of the Watford goals and their duo's strength gave him and Colo real problems. Also had a poor headed clearance into the lead u to West Ham's first. But overall he's impressed me most of our new signings. Although I would love for us to sign a CB comfortably over 6 foot with real strength that's actually good. I think Chancel has a lot of the same strengths and weaknesses as Colo. thankfully being turbo slow and looking like he doesn't care aren't two of them.

Kanj Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Mbemba is going to be a class PL CB, he's hit the ground running and has an excellent tackle and recovery speed. He's also really good on the ball and his passing is actually really one of his strengths. Dude ain't 20-21 though, that's for damn sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 If we had the luxury of decent centre backs, would love to see what Mbemba would be like in a defensive midfielder role. Sure he'd be quality, and it would be the end of the great ginger experiment. Oh well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I dont think he should be compared with Colo because he is a lot stronger. In my opinion he should be compared with Woodgate who is a complete defender excelled in all aspect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Mbemba's faster and stronger than Woodgate was. Dont really see any massive weakness in his game. Great in the air despite not being 6 ft Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Mbemba's faster and stronger than Woodgate was. Dont really see any massive weakness in his game. Great in the air despite not being 6 ft This is not correct. At all. Of course it's very early days but Woodgate would've handled the physicality of Deeney/Igahlo much better in his pomp. I remember vividly Deeney bumping Chancel off the ball. I wouldn't say he's great in the air either. Poor header against West Ham. Was it him or Colo comfortably beaten by Pelle for his goal?

Zero Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Its the opposite. He outjumped Pelle and made a crucial clearing header, saved a certain goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hey Zero! He missed a couple of headers, so he clearly sucks in the air okay. End of! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Here is a thought, how about we don't compare Mbemba to anyone? He's a strong, pacy, and comfortable with the ball CB. He looks built for the premiership and hopefully he continues to get even better at his relatively young age () and we get a beast commanding CB to play next to him. Even more of a beast than wee little Chancel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 He's not like any other defender I recall us having anyway. Seems to have it all, just needs to learn the game more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 He's the only one of our signings I'm convinced is a really good player, or at least will be - and I don't think it'll take him long. It's a total cliche but he looks like a good 'footballing' centre-back to me. Wish he had a partner who was consistent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
