Yes, that's something he needs to learn or at least get more communication from Varane. It didn't help that the gap between midfield especially when Mainoo was playing further up was exploited like 10-15 times though.
Yeah, he usually blasts them, he has the technique in spades and this one was perfect. Let's hope he makes it a feature of his game.
Sarcasm or not, how can you defend that ball ? It was in swinging, he knew there is a man behind and so can't leave it , he was off balance and he tried his best.
Seems logical that an attacking right back needs to be good at crossing doesn’t it.
I think it has been for most of his time since coming back from his loan in Italy, its just that when you're constantly compared to a fullback who is a specialist at tackling and one on one defending nobody else is going to seem that good at it. But when compared with other fullbacks he was/is
Not necessarily, he has other strengths which make him useful to the team but if he can add consistent high quality crosses then he could be world class.
He had an immense engine, and I’d argue only Walker is a faster fullback in the league. He id also good at taking on a defender. Cutting out some of his defensive blunders, albeit one time today. Great potential and good player.
Maybe I'm being harsh but I thought he could've adjusted his body and avoided kicking it back into the danger zone. Bruno was free on the wing.
No way. I am a right back myself . You are off balance , trying to jump to cover the back post header but the ball dipped and he had to put his leg on.
He made many high intensity sprints to get back goalside and then also to provide Garnacho with the overlap. Hopefully the one game a week will give him enough rest because I recall last season thinking he was getting tired the initial pre-World Cup form.
I remember when he first arrived and put in a cross similar to that, and I was shocked and happy that we finally had a fullback who could whip in a decent cross.
It's taken a long time until we've seen that again from him, but I'll take it.
I remember in that same game he had some other chances to cross and so while the posts were all about how we now have a rightback with great crossing, I felt like he can still improve on it despite the really good one. Then in all the time since then there have been more and more negative posts about him and I'v tried to remember that cross, and some of his really nice goals for Portugal etc. and defend him. After a lot of duff ones... Yes great cross and again showing that he can do it.Tweet
