Javier Manquillo (now playing for Celta de Vigo)


Recommended Posts

Yea mentioned in the match thread, could easily have given a penalty. Newcastle tv gave him a 9/10 but I thought he had a solid game rather than a brilliant one. Has more composure than Yedlin, when we’re away from home, he could be the better option as he’s certainly the better defender although offers less of a threat going forward.

Would have been seriously pissed off if we had conceded a penalty with that tug of the arm, there was no danger whatsoever from that cross.

 

Other than that a fairly solid showing. Definitely need an upgrade in both full back positions if we are going to kick on next season.

Yedlin is a likeable character and often uses his pace well on the recovery (although maybe that's down to him being out of position in first place), however I think going forward, Manquillo is a better fit for that position in our system.

 

That said, 2 new starting full backs are necessary, but if we were to have one back up on that right side, my pick would be Manquillo.

If we can get £7-8m for Yedlin and buy a new RWB, he’s worthy of sticking around the squad. The penalty against Palace has turned about to be one of the best things to happen to us in the run-in.
