Optimistic Nut Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Had no idea Santon was at Roma until I saw him take a throw in just then. Is he a regular starter? Started 3. 90% pass completion, lush on the ball Liked him but guilty of the worst individual performance I’ve seen for Newcastle. Cacapa likes this. Kenedy also From memory it was on a par if not worse. 0-4 home to Spurs, he was horrific. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder he went out and played like that. :lol: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/feb/12/newcastle-united-tottenham-hotspur-match-report Davide Santon was dubbed the new Paolo Maldini during his Internazionale days but Pardew has rebranded him as "the new Phil Neville".

Guest neesy111 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I was at that 0-4. Marveaux got put right under a double decker bus despite looking our best player when he came on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 He's not very good and is carried by the absolute quality around him. Sub any remotely competent DM for him and fuck all changes. He's not a DM though. He's a good passer of the ball it seems. Off the ball i'm not sure what he offers. he's playing at DM for Arsenal He's playing a deep midfielder role, that doesn't make him a defensive midfielder (I assume this is what you meant). Going on whoscored his only "very good" strength is passing. With long-shots and set-pieces his other strengths. So he can pass and strike / deliver a ball well. You would like to think a DM would be good at interceptions, tackling and concentration. Going on Torreira's page his strengths are what i've listed. Tackling, concentration, interceptions, blocking the ball among others. For me Xhaka is a very good passer at times but not much else. His role is a deep lying playmaker almost. I'm not sure that's enough. He's no Pirlo, he won't control the game from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I reckon Rafa could have worked with Santon like. Nah. The lad couldn't defend at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Santon was shite quite a lot but I always liked him because he could play football Classy on the ball aye. I've never seen a player ball watch as much as Santon. Don't rate him at all. But this is it. Great on the ball ability in terms of short passing and carrying the ball. Good 1v1 but any other type of defending... woeful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 That 0-4 against Spurs is still the worst goalkeeping I've ever seen. I'm sure Krul just palmed it straight to a spurs player for every goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
