Harry Bamba

Haha this hangover is crazy,  thought this was a thread comparing Harry Maguire and Sol Bamba.

Its good to see a new signing well supported, he's hit the ground running in many regards and if he carries on in the same vein it'll be hard to keep him.

 

All that said though his forays up-field rarely yield, his approaches create space as midfielders/defenders come out to confront him but he usually runs down an alley to lay it off to someone 5 yards away or much less so loses it. Every now and then it will create a chance or two but you could say the same the opposite way, he lost the ball at least a couple of times yesterday and teams on better form than Chelsea will punish us for it. You could add that his passing when he does get up the field would be better from the feet of one of our midfielders.

 

 

His focus on further development needs to be specifically defensive, he's good but not the finished article there.

Sol Bamba was a real ROLLS ROYCE DEFENDER

Ndidi has clearly been told about Maguire. Whenever Maguire goes forward, Ndidi immediately drops in behind. 

 

Not worried.
