thunderball Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Good outing, didn’t look out of place, good range of passing and looked safe. If he is available for £15m as suggested we should buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 He did alright. Not sure if Archer was his man or not but in general play he was o.k although dosen't look the quickest so get the feeling if he starts at Old Trafford and we park 40 yards up the pitch we might get caught out. Or we bring Carlos back in and go 3 at the back perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Thought he was fine. Not a starter but excellent squad player if he’s happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Not bad at all, didn't look out of place. The disappointing result wasn't any of his doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is available for £15m as suggested we should buy the problem with Lenglet isnt the fee i would say, its his wages, the guy is one of our top earners, and thats with us only paying half his wages or something. i think we are paying him c. 125k a week, im sure i read somewhere thats he's on 250k a week. no way is it worth paying a backup CB that, well......not for where we are right now anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Mings back, not sure many teams (in the world) could boast a stronger CD squad of Mings, Konsa, Torres, Carlos, and Lenglet to rotate from? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Digne was very quiet, I wonder if that was because Lenglet can't see a pass like Pau. Can't say I was impressed. Know hew a left sided player but don't get why he played ahead of Carlos who has Bern great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share Posted December 23, 2023 Thought he was fine, but he did let Archer get away from him for the goal. Anyone expecting his passing to be anywhere near Pau's level was always going to be left disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I thought everyone let everyone go for the goal, surprisingly poor shape from us, cash wants to cover the wide man but isn't actually out there, mcginn should track the run behind him or if cash isn't wide then he needs to know that run is there, konsa covers the front post rather than Archer and lenglet doesn't do much of anything It was poor all round, completely switched off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcKenna Posted December 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 23, 2023 In a game where we had record possession, it was hard to judge Lenglet. However, as someone else has said, the end result wasn’t down to him. The goal caught all our defence flat-footed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenglet did alright I think (to stay in topic) As for Diego coming back in, almost certain he will as Cash is suspended so Konsa at rb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
