Conjo Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 10 hours ago, Lush Vlad said: Still a great defender and he was tireless getting up and down all night. But I think his lack of quality on the ball is starting to become a minor problem. I might be imagining it. But it feels like teams are putting a bit more pressure on him when he is deep in our half. Plus when it is Botman inside on his wrong foot and then Murphy in front, who isn’t the best on the ball. He doesn’t have an easy out ball. The odd dribbling run aside, his quality on the ball has always been his weak point. Don't think its a problem though, just a limiting factor that he can't be used as a playmaking FB like Trippier & Hall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 He is very good in “prepared” 1v1 defensively otherwise not very good. His awareness at times is shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Really poor today. He really needs to work on his crossing too. Had he ever put a good cross in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 First time I've I can remember him looking that poor defensively, just a really poor game from him all round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Worry on top, Trippier was fucking awful too and made no case for his appearances to warrant dropping Tino for a game or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted Saturday at 17:39 Share Posted Saturday at 17:39 His lack of end product is alarming, he's got pretty much everything you need in the defensive part but when we go forward he's so poor, had a chance early in the game from the right and despite having multiple options to cross too he picked out their defender.

It is actually shocking how poor her the with Murphy when they are in possession. Not once has Murphy played him in. Tino never crosses early. It's really weak on that side when we get sustained possession. Very predictable patterns that end in giving the ball away more often than not.

M1tche Posted Saturday at 21:32 Share Posted Saturday at 21:32 (edited) Get him in the Kyle Walker delivery training. If there's no easy cut back, smash it along the edge of the 6 yard box. Edited Saturday at 21:33 by M1tche Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted Sunday at 09:29 Share Posted Sunday at 09:29 I think he's had an OK season to be honest, expected him to flourish a bit more but maybe he's a slow learner. Defensively absolutely fine - attacking wise not great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tearing my hair out at that abysmal cross. I'm not one who is normally too critical of his passing as I think his pace and defensive qualities make up for it, but he was a bit all over the place at times yesterday.

Defensively absolutely fine - attacking wise not great. His runs with the ball out of defence are class. Just needs to work on the final cross and cutback and he will go from being a good fullback to world class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both him and Hall have been guilty of this in recent weeks. I know it’s decades since I played football at any decent level, but when playing as a defender I was always told never let the ball bounce, always head it even if it’s into touch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
