I worry about this heading into the season. Not massively out of the ordinary, but he's been shaky in possession in both games and the errors are always of his own making. Trying to appear composed and ambitious before he's even controlled the ball properly. Can't be certain he'll react well to DC being the main distributor from the back. If he gets his head down and concentrates on his defending he could be massive, if he's worried he's being overshadowed things could get ugly. He's near on undroppable until we get a bit more height in the side I would think. He's huge for us defending corners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how he plays for England and why he has been so solid for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 He didn't look good at all. Even simple things like passing it to Konsa, trapping the ball.. he looked way off it. Competition is high for those two defensive positions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-AVFC Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 One thing that does wind me up a bit is whenever he plays square balls to the other CB he almost always passes slightly behind them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 The long ball pass wasn’t good from the clip I saw online. Hopefully a blip, he’s normally very good at starting counters that way. Everyone has off days. Better go get it out of your system in pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a slippery pitch but he just seemed to slip more than everyone else. Either he's being too casual or needs new boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the losing possession when we already comfortably have it that kills me. It's consistent and it's totally avoidable. He loses the ball trying to show off now composed he is. If he gets his head down, just defends and plays simple he can be a huge positive for us this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 What surprises me most is how weak he has become. The number of times he let's the ball bounce and then tries to shield the ball but loses it is incredible. Same again today, fortunately he tracked back and made the recovery but it all came from him losing the aerial ball near the half way line. Based on preseason alone, which is obviously ridiculous really, but I'd put him as our weakest CB as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few gaffs in the PL and he's in trouble though. Really pleased with how Carlos shows how simple it is to play L/R centre half. This was never an issue until about 3 years ago when some started squawking how everyone must have left and right footer. Two of either is absolutely fine.
