Absolutely horrible.

 

[.Rossi]

A pointless footballer

Blind left Rondon free.

Blind left Rondon free.

Rojo stands and watches him.

Rojo stands and watches him.

Blind had no interest in marking Rondon, I don't know what he's doing this game he has been very erratic. Think it's harsh to blame Rojo.

He went to try and cover space. It was a mistake but he tried something. Rojo can see all that happening and Rondon in front of him and just stands and watches.

 

[Nighteyes]

He's quite possibly the worst defender I've seen at the club.

 

[thegregster]

Dont really need him. Sell him in the summer. Shaw and CBJ are the future.

 

[Lawman]

If Rojo was right sided he'd struggle to get a game in the premiership

 

[shamans]

Never rated him. Just an annoying player.

 

[BlahRules]

i really don't understand how a player, who is a centre back by trade be so useless defensively.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Does he realise smashing it 30 yards up the pitch every time when martial is 3v1 doesn't work ? You would think after doing it 20 times the penny would have dropped.

His crosses today were ridiculous too, floating them 30 yards in the air instead of drilling them low.

What? Since when has "space" scored a goal?!

That goal is completely on Blind.

Having said that Rojo was/is crap.

 

[Devil may care]

Well I actually didn't think he was as bad as many others today, still crap but at least he looks arsed.

I'm only saying what happened. I also said it was a mistake. He anticipated the ball going somewhere and it didn't. Rojo seen all this and decided he'd just stand and watch it.

Went to cover what space? Blind left his man again, did the same against chelsea

He moved to the six yard box presumably thinking that's where the cross was going. How many times do I have to say the same thing?

Same. He did as well as can be expected considering he isn't really a LB. Blind had a shocker today.

I said this in a long post a while back... but you can do this a lot more often when you're a midfielder than when you're a CB... But then, Daley Blind is a midfielder.

It's the definition for insanity, its a process, its LVG philosophy.

For what? To hide behind Smalling, he's at fault for the goal not Rojo

Exactly. The position isn't that natural to him. When it works it looks great but it's too dangerous. It was poor defending but he was at least trying. Rojo stands and watches it.

I've said more than once it was a mistake. It was poor defending. I'm talking about Rojo watching it happen and doing feck all.

 

[Ludens the Red]

Funny player. Can anyone explain to me what he is? like what does he do? what are his attributes? why was he signed?

Posted in here a few weeks back that I forgot he existed and today reminded me why.

Yeah I've had this for a while now... what is Rojo actually really good at? Like, what skills / facets of his game does he excel in?

 

[Hed Zitin]

Such a mid table player.

He's pointless. Never understood why we signed him in the first place.

 

[reddevilz007]

not even

 

[NoPace]

I'm not really a fan but I think he'd do okay on the left of a 3 man backline where his physical qualities would be useful. Couldn't be a team playing for Guardiola-y possession, though. Not sure who fits that bill.

As for us, we should probably sell him - assuming Shaw will be back good as now - since Blind and CBJ are also around and basically as good at LB, and I think we could get a decent fee for Rojo just by virtue of him being well known, 25, versatile and a starter for the Argies.

I really don't trust him at CB. I think we suddenly look really disorganized when Jones or Rojo are in there. Smalling, Blind, summer signing and Fosu-Mensah is perfectly cromulent foursome, though with our injury record we probably need to keep one of Jones or Rojo around to have 5 guys to cover those 2 spots.

 

[Sultan]

Signed due to him being left-footed.

 

[rpitchfo]

Just not very good

 

[Lawman]

Signed due to him being left-footed.

Unbelievable but true

 

[MAME DIOUF 32]

Was it £16m plus a year of Nani's wages (something like £6m)? Wow.

Anyway, he's being played out of position basically because Blind is too slow to get up and down the left. Until he gets a run of games at centre back it's hard to judge him properly but I'm not seeing anything that makes me think he'd be pulling up trees.

 

[Brophs]

Just another bad decision in a long line.

There is no way he'd be here if not for LVG wanting to implement the 3-5-2 at the start of 14/15, him being the left footed centre back.

Yeah I've had this for a while now... what is Rojo actually really good at? Like, what skills / facets of his game does he excel in?

Hes quick, strong, a good tackler and a good passer. Hes not world class but he is good in all the fundamentals of being a defender. His weakness is his penchant for a brainfart, but when youre competing for a position against Phil Jones you're always winning that one.

Booting the ball to the other team.

I wouldnt' say he's that quick... he's certainly nowhere near as fast as Smalling for a start. He's not even that strong... he's strong for his build (as he's fairly slight) but again, he's not as strong as Jones or Smalling or anything.

Sometimes he's decent(ish) at tackling... but then other times he's rash and lunges in/makes daft fouls... so I wouldn't say thats one of his stronger facets... and if he wasn't prome to aimless long balls, I'd say he was a decent passer.

 

[Nighteyes]

He's rash, very error prone, inept with his positioning and when he isn't hoofing balls up he's playing risky passes trough the middle (Which often get cut off) for no apparent reason. He seems a nice guy and all that but he's a bit shite at football on the evidence so far.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Not too sure why we bought this guy. He really isn't very good at all.
