We've lost a ton of that with Buendia and Mings out for the season, and Ramsey out too meant we were soft as shit against Newcastle. I completely agree. Just my point that Acuna has 360 degrees of tenacity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Digne is good at both defending and attacking but I don’t think he’s brilliant at either, whereas I think that Acuna would be great when we need to defend down that side, Moreno is great when we play against a team that we can really attack down that side. I also feel like Acuna would have the edge as he seems very competitive and tenacious and would push the others to be better, something we need now that Mings is out for most / all of the season.

GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I think if you asked me where on the pitch I would want ‘aggressive’ players, fullback would not be it. Can see him being skinned by PL wingers and lashing out, resulting in a red card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 In all honesty all I know of this guy is from ultimate team. He's always highly rated 80+ and always gets an out of position card, Sevilla fans seemed to joke that he doesn't have a position similar to Kostic, he just plays "left" and if you need a CM, CB, LW, LB LM etc then he can fill in there. I'd say he's a good replacement for Young in terms of fitting in anywhere on the pitch but I don't know if he's got close to the same of pitch qualities that Young had. I'll be happy with the signing for sure. Be sad to see Digne go, he was one of my favourite left backs in the league when he was at Everton and I was sure he would be a huge success here.

Another player with positional flexibility like Zaniolo. Similar targets for the squad with injuries and rotation likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
