ElDiablo Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The right call to put him in given Burnley's love of diagonal punts and Yedlin's positional weakness there. He played well enough too. Need an upgrade on both of them though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Thought he had a monster game today. The opposite to yedlin. Much better in defense which was needed today and gives yedlin a recharge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Terrible left back. Ok right back. Perhaps a decent wing back. Technically he's a sound player but that's close to it. On the right he looks much more comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Was canny tonight, showed strength and made some good headway down the right flank. I think the wing back role suits him a lot better than orthodox right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 It always happens. People judge players on what they see. And Manquillo was shite at left back. He was thrown into the team, out of position, and did his best. And we discovered he wasn't a left back. But in his few appearances at right back he always looked at least semi-decent. Now that he is settling in he is gaining in confidence. His assist for Perez, against Watford last season, should have opened some people's eyes, but people wear blinkers when they've nailed their colours to the mast. He'll be first choice RWB, next season as he is much more rounded than Yedlin. And Spanish. And I have no problem with Rafa picking people who are Spanish. It makes perfect sense to me that people attain higher levels of success when they work with culturally similar people. I honestly think he's another who will overcome this, and become a fan's favourite. Don't think he'll set the world alight, but he'll probably reach Atsu levels of appreciation. Although he has more end product than Atsu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 It's a reasonable comparison with Atsu tbf. I defended Manquillo quite a lot on this thread basically because he did look a technically competent player, carrying the ball reasonably well, and wasn't making glaring errors defensively. The main issue was he wasn't doing either job particularly well either. Him and Atsu look like they should be capable of a lot more, but probably don't have the confidence to produce it.
