WooJung Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Just cross it between him and cash and it's a fee header. Carbon copy of Chelsea's second goal. Pathetic 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pregra Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 What is his strengths really? Every time someone runs at him, he backs off into his own goal. For a dude his size (and percieved strength) he is nothing special defending crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero7 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Not good enough for their second goal. But our midfield let two of their players run straight through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 He didn't do anything wrong today. Made a couple of important blocks and his passing into Watkins was very good. How he's being blamed for the winner I don't understand. He can't magically grow 5 inches to header it clear. McTominay was Cash's man and he got bullied by him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Didn’t do too much wrong but we have better players in his position coming back from injury soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Garnacho attacks the back post as he should Cash is effectively marking 2 people. His passing was terrible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic Carlos and Lenglet are o.k CBs (I mean we can hardly complain we have reserve CBs who've played for Barca and won europa league when you think of some of the dross we've had in last 15 years in that area) but it's just so unconvincing as a partnership imo. Do they ever talk to anyone around them? Neville called it after 10 minutes on comms that Maguire was getting the better of Kamara so we need one of the CBs to wander into that area. Instead we do nothing and concede five minutes later from him winning the header. We just look vulnerable in that position against decent attackers who can cross. Surely Pau has to start at Fulham?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Id say he's the worst centre back we have, nothing against him hes not the worst four choice or even fifth but when chasing top four I'm desperately hoping Pau and Konsa are back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Great cross for the goal. Not his fault. His passing from defence is very good, made no mistakes ,the latest scapegoat obviously 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes us feel secure. On 09/10/2023 at 13:17, Tom13 said: And yeah, after Pau, he's our second best CB on the ball. On 09/10/2023 at 17:33, AVTuco said: I like Carlos more than ever. Very good against wolves. Big man with skill moves. On 09/10/2023 at 20:22, MWARLEY2 said: 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.

On 27/10/2023 at 07:44, It's Your Round said: 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.

Farlz Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I thought he was fine as well. Not keen on them as a pair but overall don't think him or Lenglet done much wrong really? Obviously we lost so probably won't be as appreciated but he's definitely our 2nd best ball playing defender. Some of his passes straight through the middle of the pitch were great and got us up the pitch. I prefer him to Lenglet but that probably isn't saying much. I'd feel better with Carlos partnering Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
