villan-scott Posted September 29, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 29, 2018 Did anyone else hear the commentators garbage comment last night, stating Tuanzebe claims to be a right back? Pretty sure he’s plucked that completely out of his ar*e!! I don’t think he’s ever proclaimed to be a right back has he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is even remotely true then it makes the signing even more baffling considering we have 54 right-backs on our books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thought he had a good game in the PNE onslaught, good battle with Calum Robinson throughout. Not easy having Bree as a partner but thought he did well in the circumstances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've watched the second half tonight you'll see all our right backs can play anywhere across the back 4 competently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted October 2, 2018 Moderator Share Posted October 2, 2018 I thought he was promising in parts tonight. Having played four games at centre half now in his career, his experience will be massively important for us this month. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows we might get it overturned if we show the ref highlights of the Denmark-Croatia game he obviously didn't watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got infront of Robinson many times when they were both sprinting for the ball and also made a really good tackle on him in the box sometime in the second half. Not amazing but decent enough in the difficult circumstances. Bree was the obvious weak link that PNE were exploiting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good—even with the scoreline. How we haven't been playing him at CB I'll never understand. As for the second half, I find it hard to blame him when the likes of Hutton did their best to pass the ball to Preston at every opportunity and the midfield was all over the place. By the time Preston got to him (over and over again) they'd breezed past half our team. The sub we needed to nullify Johnson came about 40 minutes too late. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted October 3, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 3, 2018 I like Tuanzebe, he really needs games in the same position but his pace is very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) I thought that was his best performance for us to be honest (low bar obviously). He did the stuff he usually does, great recovery pace, strong, decent enough on ball but unusually he also won a few headers and generally looked fairly well positioned which given what we've been watching with Jedinak was actually nice to see. My main disappointment with him from last night though was I really wanted to see him take charge and grow in stature when Chester went off. He should have been screaming at Bree all the time and making sure that everything that came in the box was his. It didn't happen at all. He's still way too inexperienced and doesn't look to have the temperament where he is going to thrive when under pressure. He might make a decent player but its going to take a while and be a real project. Edited October 3, 2018 by villaglint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
