He was low money risk. Didn't pay off. Sell him this summer.
It wasn't that much, thankfully. Cheap punt that doesn't look like it'll come off. Not a big deal.What a waste of money. Even in games he’s played well, he’s been average in a good team. He and Antony have been really poor buys. Antony looks like he could do something 2nd season but this lad of absolutely garbage.
It can be a big deal if manager sticks with him thoughIt wasn't that much, thankfully. Cheap punt that doesn't look like it'll come off. Not a big deal.
I can't imagine he'd be playing much without significantly improving. He's seemingly slipped to 3rd choice already.It can be a big deal if manager sticks with him though
And his clear limitations in that area become even clearer due to ETH’s tactic of getting our fullbacks to take up advanced central attacking positions when we’re attacking down the opposite wing - something that they’re all terrible at, tbf0 assists. 0 big chances created. 0 through balls.

Offers nothing in attack.
Think this is a fairly true take. Not exactly a youngster either.He was low money risk. Didn't pay off. Sell him this summer.
I have been unable to find words to describe him. I think it's why it's taken so long for his inability to truly show.Just a mind boggling signing. Wtf was EtH thinking? He has great attitude, yes, but in every other department he’s barely Championship level.
Yea, it's shocking, isn't it?Why are 90% of our signings so bad? All the money we waste on players and we can't afford to buy some decent fecking scouts? Boggles the mind
Yeah I absolutely don't get this at all, we seem to be actively asking our most limited players to get into positions they're not capable of exploiting meaning we're not maximising attacks. Simultaneously when we lose the ball they're not completely out of position and we're exposed to a counter.And his clear limitations in that area become even clearer due to ETH’s tactic of getting our fullbacks to take up advanced central attacking positions when we’re attacking down the opposite wing - something that they’re all terrible at, tbf
Because we give 100% transfer control to manager. That can't work. No matter is it Klopp, Pep, Eth or Moyes in question.Why are 90% of our signings so bad? All the money we waste on players and we can't afford to buy some decent fecking scouts? Boggles the mind
Don't think he's good enough for the top of the premier league honestly. I fully expected him to sign for Lyon last summer which is probably about his plateau. I admit he nearly convinced me he could adept after those first few games, but alas.Yeah I absolutely don't get this at all, we seem to be actively asking our most limited players to get into positions they're not capable of exploiting meaning we're not maximising attacks.

More generally I'm hoping Malacia is just going through a blip atm and he's got time to grow into a squad player. At the very least he seems to work hard but agree he does seem quite limited although I reckon if our more experienced players were playing more maturely and he was being asked to defend/cover primarily he'd probably be ok.
You said to me (when we signed him) that his best trait is attacking play. He is opposite to that ffsDon't think he's good enough for the top of the premier league honestly.

Oh yeah don't get me wrong, I think he has a lot to prove still and I'm not convinced either but I also think if our more experienced players and attack sorted themselves out we could get by with him as a back up i.e. bigger issues than him right now.Don't think he's good enough for the top of the premier league honestly.

He looked quite threatening in our league against FC Emmen and stuff. Well and against us if Im honest.You said to me (when we signed him) that his best trait is attacking play. He is opposite to that ffs
Such an excellent point you and the other post made. It doesn't compute why some things they cannot do, are asked of footballers. Just why ???Yeah I absolutely don't get this at all, we seem to be actively asking our most limited players to get into positions they're not capable of exploiting meaning we're not maximising attacks.

He makes Bissaka look like prime Alves next to himContinues to offer absolutely nothing in attack. Just like AWB, I don't think he fits an attacking proactive team. Big question why Ten Hag wanted him, but he cost next to nothing at least.
I put him more in the young and learnin' category. Will need another year or two to mature, just as Paddy Evra did from season one to two.He really is dumb as a player isn't he ?
You'd be a better diplomat than me that's for sure. All the needless fouls far from any threatening positions really do piss me offI put him more in the young and learnin' category. Will need another year or two to mature, just as Paddy Evra did from season one to two.
I think all our defenders are looking a bit worse than they actually are because Martinez and Varane are out. The moment the back loses its most influential player, the rest of them appear far less effective than usual. See the first Liverpool game this year. Malacia was far more effective than his more recent performances.You'd be a better diplomat than me that's for sure. All the needless fouls far from any threatening positions really do piss me off
Yeah plenty to improve on when it comes to reading the game, positional awareness etc.He gets caught out defensively way too much. I’m not a massive fan of his.
