Papavasiliou Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Mbemba defended okay, but he looks incapable of providing a threat in the final third so I wouldn't want him playing at fullback regularly given that Rafa seemingly wants his fullbacks to help a great deal when attacking in wide areas. We managed alright last season having Dummett never get over the half way line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Manquillo doesn't offer much in the final third from what i've seen He gets in positions but his final ball is poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Manquillo doesn't offer much in the final third from what i've seen He gets in positions but his final ball is poor. Yeah, it's his movement more than anything that trumps what Mbemba can offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Merino was the best player on the pitch, but the Chancellor had a very good game today too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Got rinsed a few times by Antonio but adjusted with the team and had a great game. He's given Rafa a problem now when LeJeune is back. Who gets dropped? Lascelles was also good today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Lascelles has to be dropped, he can't be relied on the same as Clark. Lejeune will come straight back in IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Turned on and missed the teamsheet wondered who the beast was at LB has he bulked up? Looked largely impressive but I say that with absolute bias. Always loved the chancellor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 The irony that people call our LB a centre-back based on a few games there when our CB has been better in a couple of games at LB than our real LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 He's got great technique, he just lacks a left foot. Considering his limitations in the position he did brilliantly today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I love his little deft touches and dinks to get it out of trouble and over to Atsu. Very questionable when defending one on one, but on the ball he's impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Played really well today. He's the best footballer we have in defence. Man City would probably respect him more than our fans tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Quality today but can see why Rafa apparently doesn't fully trust him. Loves trying to take on an opposition player in our own half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Quality today but can see why Rafa apparently doesn't fully trust him. Loves trying to take on an opposition player in our own half He probably takes too many chances for Rafa's liking i'm sure he will improve on that as time goes on though.

sugoinufc Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 So happy to see him play. Hope he will get many games this season...much better player than Lascelles. btw i do not like Lascelles captain role as he properly should be 4th chose CB when all are fit. Could be a problem! Don´t we have better captain material? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
