nemtizz Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 This fella wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for Rondon so I'm pleased he's here with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Thoughts from my Sunderland supporting friend when I asked if he was any good - 'yes, with obvious limitations. He's a archetypal modern full-back, great going forward, can't really defend. He didn't really get into our team until the last 10-15 games but did well.' Asked if he could play on the wing - 'we never played him as a winger but I don't see why not, he's got a decent cross on him.' Sounds fairly promising.

My mate is usually very fair and honest in his assessment, but still good to hear he rates him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Think the 'can't defend' label is applied to fullbacks far too often. A lot of the time it's the gameplan for them to attack, someone else loses the ball unexpectedly and they're caught up the pitch. Yes they have to pick their moments to attack, and that can be coached, but they'll inevitably get out of position a fair bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they have to pick their moments to attack, and that can be coached, but they'll inevitably get out of position a fair bit. Don't think this is true. A lot of modern fullbacks are rather failed Wingers. They legitimately don't know how to defend. The mental aspects, don't see danger developing. Just thinking of Janmaat and Santon in particular - poor, poor defenders at Newcastle. 1v1 defending is probably one of the easiest things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
