I mean lets be fair here.....one of the centre backs is a CATastrophe. That's the beauty of stats. They don't care about opinions or people half watching the game or watching with pre conceived notions about players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is part of the problem I guess. He's come here huge pay rise he hasn't earned the starting spot he doesn't really need to fight for his spot and he's been absolutely awful. Bone idle and really really poor quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Southampton didn't have a proper winger to run at Young. They had Armstrong who is their version of Ramsey and then a full-back that was pushed up. It played into Young's hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted March 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2022 It also helped that young played well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Young did well yesterday but I’d hope Digne is fit to come back in be Leeds as I feel they’ll run at Young more. However, it’ll depend on when he tested positive. Pretty sure he was splashed all over the OS in a big interview midweek so you’d presume after that. If the club are sticking to 5 days isolation then negative tests on days 5 and 6 then he’ll do well to be ready for Leeds on Thursday, as not everyone gets their negative tests that soon (I’m on Day 4 today and expecting another positive). edit: and he’d have to be fit enough to play too which would depend on what the Covid has been like for him!

Since he signed Cash has actually got better attacking stats Of the 3 that have played this season of Digne, Cash and Targett then Digne has the worst attacking stats Depends how you look at it. He's got the worst attacking output, he hasn't got the worst attacking stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stevo985 Posted March 7, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2022 I'm not sure what Digne has done to get on people's bad side. He's been fine since he came. He's only played 6 games so he's probably still settling as well. He's a clear upgrade on Targett 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasnt helped that Targett has gone to Newcastle and seems to have added 10% to his game that wasnt there this season for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you've been dead against this signing since the start so you'll be trying very hard to discredit him, but his stats are fine but I'd expect them to get better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digne literally only has 1 GCA so far for us. SCA would be better. SCA per 90 Cash 1.61 Digne 2.54 Targett 1.70 fbref doesn't record cross completion stats, but whoscored does.
