sbnufc Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Pretty annoying that we havent tried him in midfield ahead of colback. Remember on total sport just after the African cup of nations they asked Rafa how he thought Mbemba did in midfield. Rafa replied with something along the lines of "he did well but it's not his position", so I don't think we'll ever see it here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Pretty annoying that we havent tried him in midfield ahead of colback. It's pretty annoying we haven't tried a tortoise in midfield in place of Colback as the tortoise would be more effective Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Remember, remember, Chancel Mbemba He used to play in central defence Rafa turned up, Chancel did not Now he lives in past tense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1988 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Anyone at the game last night care to say how this guy played? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Was decent apart from one air shot and his poor understanding of communication. Can see this being an issue for Rafa like longer term. It's a shame like cause he is probably our best defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Did OK 1st half but tbf we were never under any real pressure. Started panicking towards the end of the match and ended up in a mix up with Darlow. Noticed Rafa lost his temper with him a couple of times near the end.

St1pe Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Anyone at the game last night care to say how this guy played? There's a fair bit in the match thread on this but he did ok. I liked how he nips in front of the striker to pinch the ball and him bringing the ball out from the back a couple of times really relieves pressure - especially when we were kicking it long in the last 5 minutes. He did have a couple of shaky spells. His communication with Darlow seemed poor. At one point he berated Darlow for not coming for a ball then the next time told Darlow to come for it, he did, then Mbemba sort of half cleared it away as he was approaching nearly causing us some problems. We didn't have to do a lot of defending to really judge though it was good to see him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Really hope he can play a part next season, but knowing Rafa he won't take the risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickTop Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I like him. Last night was the first time I've watched him and thought he could be more suited as a DM. Actually has a decent range of passing and looks more comfortable defending higher up the pitch than at CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Made some good interceptions by stepping round his man which has been lacking this season but a couple of times the language rumour was given some proof by seemingly terrible communication.

tom1988 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hopefully he'll spend his summer off at an English school then.. He's too good to move on because of a language barrier, surely it'll click sooner or later Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 First time I can remember him playing as the left centre back. Thought he did alright, especially first half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hopefully he'll spend his summer off at an English school then..

Dr.Spaceman Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I thought he was good. I blamed his shitty flap in the second half on Darlow's inability to come off his line at the right time. Yes he should have been able to hoof it clear it but he was waiting for Darlow to (rightly) come and collect it. For being out of the side for as long as he has he played very well, he didn't even need to use Mitro's excuse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame like cause he is probably our best defender. If he goes we should get decent money for him. Someone will get a good young defender who could do really well outside of England. Personally I still really like him, but if Rafa thinks he's a liability then he must have good reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few occasions last night where he was ushering the ball back, clearly signalling for Darlow to come for it, but for some reason didn't.

tom1988 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I just really hope that if it is only the language barrier that's stopping him from being in the side that they sort that out and give him a chance before getting rid. It was so annoying to see Yanga-Mbiwa get Pardewed and then shipped off so soon when others that maybe listen and communicate better but are distinctly worse players seem to hang around forever.

Minhosa Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 This is the last we'll see of him after that. Can now see why Rafa doesn't rate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
