r0cafella Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Can see why Rafa doesn’t trust him, his decision making is appalling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Nah, it's not like Manquillo's is great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Manquillo is indeed poor but people shouldn’t conflate Mbembas ability either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Mbemba actually had some good games at LB though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Not debating that either, just pointing out some posters tendency to believe a player who isn’t playing is a lot better than the guy who is playing which is a common theme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I still think he is our best defender in the club, he should've done better with their second goal but was quite good throughout the game, some nice tackles. should start every game from now on.

sugoinufc Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 favorite player with Merino. How did Chancel do yesterday? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Manquillo is indeed poor but people shouldn’t conflate Mbembas ability either. Mbemba isn't a LB which doesn't help. Neither is Manquillo for that matter, and it's a reason why we are conceding a lot of goals, although we seem to have as many problems on the other flank at the moment where we have a recognised RB/RM struggling.

steve_69 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 At least Rafa has recognised the problem with Manquillo. He's seen how poor he has been in recent weeks and he's taken action. Mbemba isn't a left-back but he's a lot more solid as a defender than Manquillo so i'd prefer to see him stay there until Dummett is fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dabe Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Thought he was pretty bad last night tbh, lots of crosses softly went past him. Still provides a better option defensively than Manquillo and he's at least comfortable in possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Not having a left footed left back is absolutely killing us going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Pap for the second. So weak again. Barely protested. He, Lejeune & Clark all seem like laid back characters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 One of our better players today, although he should have stood stronger for their goal. It was a push mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 For me.... defenders should be judged moreso on mistakes than anything else. At least at relegation battle level. You can't give away weak goals like that. Do the basics right lad. Win your f***ing headers. It was too easy. A slight push isn't good enough. At least make a big deal about it if it is a foul. He fell in installments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I rate him, he’s quick, athletic and a good footballer. He won quite a bit in the air today and won lots of important interfeptions too. But he had to be stronger for their goal, much stronger, it’s shit defending no doubt about it even if he did get a shove. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 How old do we reckon he really is then? Early 30s? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I've never got the impression that he thinks like a defender. Someone determined to not concede. Might be worth a try in midfield. I don't know. A skilled and capable footballer but a poor defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 The age he is on his birth certificate. You know after he had his actual bones tested I get it with the likes of Doumbia but Mbemba doesn't even look old. He has a good hairline, his face is youthful. There's basically nothing about him that makes him look older than 23. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 He looks old for me. How? There's nothing much about him that makes him look like he's in his 30s. He looks like a 20 odd year old. He just has a weird shaped heed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
