This back 3 is pretty decent looking. They all look solid. Slight misjudgment from Rojo but Lindelof startingnto look like the player from Benfica and that’s 3 good performances on the bounce for us.

Give him some time. He’s improving.
If there's any part of defending to be sub par at, that's a good one. That skill can be taught.
he's been good the past week but still looks weak when someone runs at him, i'll wait till hes come up against sanchez and sane,
Every defender gets beaten 1 on 1 once in a while. He's had almost a perfect half in my eyes.
I always say this but I need to remember to take my own advice sometimes too. Jesse and young looking good too after getting consecutive matches and having trust placed in them. Suprise suprise. It's hard to just step into a team that's having wobbly form and play your best game
He wouldn't turn our other centre halves so easily from a standing start. They're all very athletic and rarely lose out 1 vs 1.
There was a goal during pre season which initially highlighted this as a problem. Then the Mooy goal at Huddersfield. Then tonight (even during a pretty good game) he is easily turned inside out when on the back foot. It's happened in other games not leading to goals, too.
It's a significant weakness in his game and it will likely be highlighted again in the near future. He's played pretty well but the wider concerns with some of his defending still exist, to be honest.
It’s amazing what a little bit of confidence can do. Victor is a pro active defender. Take away his confidence and all his good attributes will disappear. His best mode is positive aggression when he take a step against the opponents.
Let’s hope he will continue like this another 45 minuets. He needs to build credit around himself so he can do some mistakes without getting slaughtered.
Been class so far. Happy for him. Hopefully we keep the clean sheet as that would do wonders for his confidence I think, though he's been steadily improving anyway.
Early days, but very promising.
looking better game by game
I think an eventual back three of Lindelof, Rojo and Bailly is inevitable.
Will make a few look stupid.
We got ourselfs one hell of a player.
Looks like he suits a back 3 well, not surprising since he's looked more like a hybrid mdifielder to me. Still not sure about him in a back two as I feel he'll have more defensive mistakes in him.
Rojo just got turned and in the box too.
From dreadful player needs to be sold to top class defender in what, 3 weeks? Surely a record?
Improving game after game. Finally looks so much more confident in everything he does.
Good lad. When we learn to give these players time to settle eh?
Been class tonight!
Us fans are clueless
His best performance yet
Yeah, it's both depressing and hilarious.
Wonder where the "he's obviously got nothing about him to suggest that he's good enough, what were the scouts/manager thinking"-brigade are, and if they'll return?
Great performance tonight, he's growing in confidence by the minute.
Huge improvement, looking like a player now, still got done one v one but if he keeps improving he may start looking like a £37m defender.....
Still plenty of people around who'll hop the chance to remind us all that 'he should be sold' and that they 'knew it since day one'. Very solid game again, couple of unnecessary fouls in the second half but I thought that our lack of pressing in the second half played a great part in that.
Easily 8/10 game from him.
I have him as 6.3 in his total average, maybe because I just gave him a 4 vs Huddersfield. Those 1 and 2 are pointless imo.

Gtfo.
You lack basic knowledge of football.Like another poster stated, defenders doesn't win every 1 on 1. If you think otherwise, go watch Rojo again and embrace your stupidity.
I guess we could keep him for now.
Not half bad, is he? You melts.
didn't think he played well. got turned too easily at times and seemed slow reaction wise, far from his worst performance though
Lindelof was absolute class tonight!
Two games on the spin where he hasn’t been a liability. Easily his best game for us, well done to him.
That's one hell of a back 3.
Calm and composed Swede and crazy Argentinian and Ivorian.
He played well. First half was great.
Very good today. Nice to see him getting into good form!
Excellent again. He's getting his form and looks more confident, challenging every ball and his heading has improved.
Keep on.
Keep on.
And this people, is what the average, clueless and drunken supporter sounds like. No clue at all what's going on.
