mikeyp102 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) He scares me, Everytime anyone runs at him. He’s an ok backup, but the sooner Torres is fully fit the better Edited December 30, 2023 by mikeyp102 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 A couple of occasions he's let players through by not being strong enough. A situation where you simply do not lose the duel at any costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macandally Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 He didn’t cover himself in glory today, but to be fair, any Defense worth its salt should deal with a direct long ball being flicked on. The fact we didn’t says more about defensive shape than anyone in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDVILLAIN Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Lenglet and Carlos are just not suited together..our defence looks weak and nervy when they play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Slow as molasses. How did Barcelona ever think he was champions League quality. Great b/u to Pau for this season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t rate Lenglet, but maybe that’s more a case our expectations. I mean, when your 5th choice centre half is on loan from Barca and wanted by AC Milan, you know you’ve probably got a bit of depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue he's 4th choice as we knew Mings would be out for the season when we signed him and he wouldn't be here if Mings was fit. I do however agree that he's a good standard back up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 He has some fantastic passes. Long range switch right to feet etc He makes me nervous with his defending though. He will go back to the bench when others are fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted December 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2023 he had a tough afternoon, no question. but for a loan he's been fine for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newry_Villan Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I think he has been decent overall. A good loan signing for me. He hasn't been immense but he also hasn't let himself down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Thought he was OK today, has some good range of passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) We did really well to sign a player of his experience as a 4th/5th choice to cover for mings injury. Has been pretty good in all of the european games he played for us and has been ok in these few league games. Carlos is starting to worry me more as he should be a key player for us.

DakotaVilla Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Great passing range but the man runs in slow motion. He’s playing an important squad role so much needed for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
