ChesterDad Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 To be fair - Digne has played really well this season - but has had his worst game, probably at the most in opportune moment for him imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 No excuse for the really poor defensive work. He did score a great goal today. We win and lose as a team. That highline with a second string defence was utterly exposed when we have a distinct lack of pace across the back line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as if Warsaw was peppering the goal but they recognized when they had numbers at the back and ran at that shoddy back line relentlessly when they did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantholtgolazo Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I’ve defended him many times on here & even would say his defending hasn’t been as bad as some made out- but that was abysmal, first goal should never happen like that-so bad. Entire defensive unit was poor but Digne was asleep at the wheel for their first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably all knew it was only a matter of time. Still good to have around as back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Usual mixed bag from Digne, good going forwards, nice goal but a bit rubbish defensively. But he is only back up to Moreno, who I'm sure will be in the first team again in the next week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I think he was okayish. Yeah, the first goal he let him through but why did Lenglet vacate the penalty spot? Went right into the space where he thought Lenglet was. Wouldn't say the weakest link in a weak chain, but I don't think he's the player to solidify the defense when they're shaky like tonight.

The last few games we’ve given away some utterly stupid goals because our centre backs are giving the opposition strikers more space to attack than when Moses parted the seas. It’s totally unacceptable. It’s not just a Digne issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) His lack of pace exposed today, but he quite literally bled for the shirt and was unlucky not to score. Edited September 24, 2023 by The_Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
