Who’s better in central defence in the league? Guehi is a very good passer from there but I can’t think of many players that rival him on the pass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh to single him out. He also scored a screamer the game before to drive us on to beat Wolves. Appreciate you worded your post as a question, not a statement, but with how good he's been for us the past few years I think it's fair to give him the benefit of the doubt. He's only 32, hardly that old for a CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted October 31, 2024 Share Posted October 31, 2024 He's still excellent, but there are occasional signs that he's on the wane a bit. A few times in the last few weeks he's gone haring out wide for a slide tackle and missed it by absolutely miles. You'd like to think Eddie can offer him some advice on how to remain super effective when his legs are starting to go. Botman coming back will probably help to cover some of these issues and we can hopefully continue to enjoy his fantastic distribution and occasional banger goal for a while longer yet.

TRon Posted October 31, 2024 Share Posted October 31, 2024 He might get caught for pace on occasions, but his positional sense is still great. He was in the right place for the last ditch blocks a few times last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted October 31, 2024 Share Posted October 31, 2024 (edited) Yeah last few games, his lack of legs have been massively evident. But it's almost that aging thing where in his head he can still get there but his body is a yard slower. Needs to retreat more and cover the space instead of being as aggressive is the only thing I can think of, unless we can partner him with someone that can cover for this lack of mobility. But that isn't happening with the current personnel available. Like I wonder if we concede that first goal against Chelsea if he just backed off and tried to slow Neto down instead of going all or nothing. Probably still concede as Burn was never catching Jackson either. It's tricky because being aggressive is what actually helps his lack of athleticism normally by not getting turned and running the wrong way and nicking the ball high instead. But just like Trippier, once you lose a bit too much from the legs, those split seconds being late to the tackle cost you massively. Either you get booked for a late tackle or you miss the player completely and they are in behind you. Edited October 31, 2024 by alexf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted October 31, 2024 Share Posted October 31, 2024 Still a wonderful player on the ball, but if he wants more than a one year deal, think it’s time to go our separate ways end of season, as the lack of pace and being late to things only going to get more frequent over time.

huss9 Posted October 31, 2024 Share Posted October 31, 2024 should have been made captain instead of bruno. he's class. on the match cam after the first goal you can see him not getting carried away with the celebrations. he's busy gathering the rest of the players for a quick huddle and team talk.
