greydos Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Can anyone give a tactical/detailed opinion for why Cacapa impressed on the weekend? I didn't get to see the game as what at an all day Hindu wedding Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Didn't have much time on the pitch, but didn't really put a foot wrong when called upon. Looked very composed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 very composed, made some great tackles look effortless. think he'll do very well for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 One things is for sure. He should not be judged on his performance tonight, nor should Enrique. I'll be happy if they get 80ish minutes and they help keep a clean sheet. Looking forward to seeing a couple more competant defenders at the back, as apposed to the usual laughing stock.

Guest leon b Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 i think the composure of rozy and cacapa will prove invaluable to us over the next couple of seasons, as long as both adapt to the physical nature of the epl. Having calm defenders will allow attacking players to feel alot more comfortable going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Magic Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 My favourite moment of caca's debut was where one of their guys was running at him and he tackled him. It was genius. No running back 10 yards behind the rest of our back four like Taylor. No stupid obvious sliding tackles like Bumble. No letting the guy past and then just pulling his shirt and hoping it all works out alright like Carr. No doing something utterly shit and useless like Ramage. He just took the ball off the guy. More of our defenders should start doing that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Knightrider Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Outstandingly good tonight I thought. Never wasted one ball by my reckoning, never lost a header, never went to ground once, never burst a gut or seemed under any pressure at any stage of the game despite being in the thick of the action. I'm not surprised his Lyon team-mates were gutted to see him leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 when Enrique is fully fit, back 4 would be... Beye Rozehnal Cacapa Enrique especially against the "big 4". Although some claim Cacapa lacks pace, I think his experience (and that of Beye) combined with the calm composure of Rozy will pay dividends. And obviously Enrique picks himself providing he's fit.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'd go with Cacapa & Rozehnal. People will go on about "what about Taylor" etc. but if you look, it wasn't until 3 seasons ago that Terry tied down a regular slot. For Desailly & Leboeuf/Gallas, read Cacapa & Rozehnal.

Guest Knightrider Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Did Enrique look confident? Even if a little bit unfit still.. He started the game slowly and looked out of place but as the game wore on he become more involved and attuned to the match, showing his undoubted class once or twice. Doesn't look fully up to speed but read the game well and looked comfortable on the ball, looks strong too and got forward well. I was impressed. He looks a good player put it that way and his presence in the team with Zoggy back on the flank further up gave us good balance and shape. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Promising.

Cheers mate....Sounds like good enough start to build on from. Getting fitter and getting some time adjusting to a new style and new team mates. Sounds promising.

Rich Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I was really, really, really impressed with Cacapa tonight. The guy seems to be a class act. A cult hero in the making since the day I saw his bearded mug. Looks nowt like a footballer, but looks like he's a fucking player alright. I'm excited about seeing him in the Premiership regularly, if he can stay fit. With Faye incoming we'll have four central defenders who I'd struggle to between pick to start any given match, which is something I'm not sure I've ever been able to say before.
