Tiresias Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Got potential but not what we need, we needed an experienced defender who could slot right in and shore up the back, not someone still learning on the job. Of course that would cost loads of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 hes a good player but as with everyone else we ruin them and their confidence. This! I saw alot of potential in him but he's gotten worse and worse as expected. Made a mistake coming here... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Think Mbemba and/or any other centre half is gonna struggle when they have to play alongside Coloccini each week. With a better partner, with a bit of leadership, he'd probably flourish. Until the 'club captain' is dropped or sold, then nowts going to change with the defence.

TRon Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I still think there's a good defender in there, just seems to be getting worse with every game as there seems to be no direction and lack of coaching to address the defensive weaknesses in the squad.

Pilko Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I feel sorry for him. How on earth is he supposed to progress when he's playing alongside someone with the pace of an episode of New Tricks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Personally i think he started promisingly and did some very good stuff. If not totally ruined already, he will be soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 He's the best CB we've signed for years TBH, stoked with him. Problem is the people alongside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 He's the best CB we've signed for years TBH, stoked with him. Problem is the people alongside. Agree completely, he's class but keeps getting exposed by Janmaat and Colo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 He's the best CB we've signed for years TBH, stoked with him. Problem is the people alongside. We've only signed him and MYM at centre half for years tbf Not a great achievement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 It's like any tedious opinion on here, the wrong person gets in early then tries to ram it down everyone's throats ad nauseum for months on end while they get excited they might be proven right eventually.

The College Dropout Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Yes, it's laughable that we've signed a CB that hasn't improved us defensively and people are falling over themselves to give him some weird type of praise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hhmmm, in all fairness, he hasn't improved us at all, we are still just as s*** at the back. Worst goal difference in the league is proof that nothing has improved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he hasn't improved us at all to be fair and saying that he is better than Williamson is more to the standard of shit we have at this club than anything else.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Of all our summer signings, Mbemba looks our best buy. That isn't saying much like, but he looks the most capable of performing at this level for us. He is on a hiding to nothing, however, playing in a side that defensively is as bad as it gets, from 'keeper to midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 We've got 3 defenders and 4/5 midfielders performing to absolute s****, Mbemba was far and wide our best defender and looked farmore assured than any of the doylam's who's played at the back for us this season, especially in the earlier games - it's only been the past 4 games he's looked s*** and that's as the rest of the squad has declined, it's not a coincidence. He would be fantastic in an actual football teams defence but because he's surrounded by s*** here who are letting him down time and time again both in defence and midfield the response is "he hasn't improved us at all". Bit difficult to do that when you've got Janmaat nowhere to be seen/captain back off. Sissoko won't cover him so the task falls to Mbemba. Colo couldn't catch a cold, so obviously it falls to Mbemba to cover him - yet another job he has to do. He's practically responsible for 3 defensive positions so to give him any flack over the plight of the team is a joke. So aye, he has improved us but due to the 7 other players in defence and midfield around him he's looked s**** on the goal difference front which is all anybody is looking at when making the statement that he "hasn't improved us at all".

Foluwashola Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 LOL - there's nothing to suggest he's a good PL defender. Really? He's been as shite a everyone else of late but he's shown glimpses of potential. Far too early to go overboard, he's a young centre half being expected to hold together a tragic defence in a vastly superior league. Same goes with Lascelles.
