Lerner's Driver Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Not the first time he has been too casual. Looks great when it comes off and **** pathetic when the opposition scores. He's a good player, but too prone to thinking he's just having a kick about with his mates on the copacabana. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Out ran, out muscled and was terrible on the ball. Not a great night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Gave it away for the first one, deflected the second in (although can't lay too much blame on him for that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Can he play RB? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's poor in possession and nearly always gets way too tight to his man, usually ending up giving away a foul. Another slippy G mistake.

Konsa is a must have at CB to steady the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me there's a huge hole in our squad that wasn't addressed in the summer. Hopefully it will be in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quazzie goat Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I thought he was very solid first half but being so casual at that stage in the match, lazily passing to Luiz when United are building momentum is naive and not something you’d expect from an experienced centre back.

Tbf we did need more passes (completed) like that to try and get more control, but yeah...wasn't great. Edited December 26, 2023 by Tom13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 So casual and can't really tackle, just wrestles players to the floor. I thought that was his worst performance for us yet. Konsa should be filling that position with a right back next to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wezbid Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 A stinker from him tonight. It's an exception to the rule though. Nothing wrong with calling out a poor game but let's not start turning on players after a few duff results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing that twice in 5 games or so doesn’t exactly bode well. Want to like him but struggling atm. Just looks too casual and has a mistake in him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolteExile Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 At his age he's not going to get a whole lot better. Wonder if we might be able to trade him to a Spanish club, still has a decent reputation there. Hasn't been up to the pace of the English game, for the most part.

Risso Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I thought there were signs of him getting to grips with the English game, but that was as poor a defensive display as you're ever going to see. I'll probably calm down tomorrow and remember his good showings against Man City and Arsenal, but tonight the useless shit bastard can be fired into the sun for all I care.

As he's got pace, and strength, and potentially less of a liability there. A weird one, because I thought he started well, but then slowly descended into clangers as the game went on.

Vive_La_Villa Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I personally think we lost the game in midfield. They got no protection from Donk and Luiz second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 He seems a bit like pre-re renaissance Tyrone. But older. Not really convinced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet he started against wins over city and Arsenal. He’s a bit rash but he’s still a decent defender. Needs Pau next to him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
