I dont even think he played that badly. You werent getting past him and he held his position well.This place really can be a cesspool of mentalists sometimes. This kid is still only 22 and people expect a mixture of Cafu and Thuram.
If he was a LB he'd be in our team already, he's just seriously unlucky coming through at the same time as RJ and while Azpi is still quality.Is he good at football? If he is he'd be an upgrade...
I don't mean to do AWB dirty like that I'm just pissed. He needs to improve massively on the ball.
Maybe going for Alonso rather than James (who is much quicker and stronger).I dont even think he played that badly. You werent getting past him and he held his position well.
I just dont understand why we keep passing to him deep. He isn't going to Iniesta it up the field and it puts him under unnecessary pressure.
We can play it out from the back, I just dont understand why its always down the right hand side where we try to create the extra man when our left is so much better
But its every game. Shaw plays off Rashford really well but its give and go with Raahford playing him in most times.Maybe going for Alonso rather than James (who is much quicker and stronger).
Yeah I've been saying all season, as much as I like him defensively, we won't win a league title with him in the team. Even the likes of Gallas, Ferreira and Ivanovic for Jose seemed to offer more going forward. His overall technical ability on the ball is just criminally low for this level. He is up there with the best in the world in terms of one on one defending, but there's too many deficiencies in his game to call him one of the best right backs in the world (as many have) in my opinion.If he was a LB he'd be in our team already, he's just seriously unlucky coming through at the same time as RJ and while Azpi is still quality.
I like AWB a lot defensively but unfortunately for him modern fullbacks need to offer a lot more in terms of all round play, born in the wrong era (a 00s Jose team where he's the fullback who stays back while the other one bombed forward would have suited him perfectly).
Would be happy enough with someone who can control a ball, and not let it regularly run out for throws or pass it out for a throw in.This place really can be a cesspool of mentalists sometimes. This kid is still only 22 and people expect a mixture of Cafu and Thuram.
Any chance you could convert him into a CB or a DM?Yeah I've been saying all season, as much as I like him defensively, we won't win a league title with him in the team.
