Tom13 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 You just know he's highly unlikely to lose any duel and will give absolutely everything to stop the ball going in our net. Makes us feel secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 And yeah, after Pau, he's our second best CB on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted October 9, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 9, 2023 I like Carlos more than ever. Very good against wolves. Big man with skill moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 He is hard as nails. Not nasty. But hard. When players come up against him in either box his strength will knock players out of the way. You forget he is only 6ft dead. It is a shame that Mings is out for the season as those 2 would have been a brick wall in certain games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Bump for the absolute pings he threaded from the back line to our forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 The area of his game that he needs to work on is his decision-making when he's on the ball. He put Kamara under pressure several times playing the ball to him when he shouldn't have. He's a good defender but passing it around and out the back is an important requirement for our CBs.

I do think he thinks everyone is as comfortable with the ball under intense pressure as he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 It’s amazing to have a player of Diego Carlos’ quality ‘in reserve’. With him, Lenglet, Torres and Konsa, we have four players who are all very capable of picking passes and progressing the ball forward quickly. They won’t always come off, just like some of Carlos’ passes last night, but when they do it makes us a very dangerous side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Honestly I was getting quite irritated with some of his long forward passing in the first half last night - thought he gave away possession quite a lot. I put this down to ring rustiness though as he clearly has the ability to deliver a mean long ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of the time I think he was just getting the weight of the passes wrong more than anything else. He has this lovely technique where he absolutely whips the ball into the midfielder, but as much as aesthetically it looks great it also made it unnecessarily difficult to receive properly for Kamara etc. Think it's something that'll come with the more minutes he plays though, he's still played well any time he's had a chance but it's still crazy that the amount of competitive minutes he's played since signing amounts to around 8 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, for sure - if he's got the capacity to improve then Unai will get it out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 His recovery to get at their striker when he blazed over was the reason he missed IMO. Great pace and determination. Could have been a different game if that went in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
