Popular Post Nicolo Barella Posted 27 September 2020 Popular Post Posted 27 September 2020 To play well against Man City, after a 2 year absence from professional football... Incredible. 18 1
Facecloth Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Feel like I've been suggesting playing him at centre back for years, who knew it'd work eh 2
Foxin_Mad Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 He is a great squad player to have I think. If he is content to be in the squad then he is useful to have.
baldeagle Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Clearly his best position is CB . Thought he was very good today not outstanding . What is impressive though was the fact he’s been out for around 2 years and played as well as he did deffo keep . .
majaco Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Makes our centre back issues look less pressing
lgfualol Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Noticed he pushed high up the pitch to win headers and won pretty much all of them which lead to attacks. Thought he was solid today. Very pleased to see he chopped off that random bit of long hair that was flying around vs Arsenal too. 1

If he recovers his form he'll be a useful squad member this season. Hate to say I told you so but I told you so. Let's have some respect for this man now. 6

He’s just another player where people just go over the top with criticism, see Mendy also. Yeah he can have shockers and can take time to bed in. But generally when he got a run people started praising him and saying he was going well. Then it seems to get forgotten. 5

Fox92 Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 (edited) Superb. Aside from when he lost the man once (from a set piece - not the goal) I thought he was outstanding. Edited 27 September 2020 by Fox92 Clarification - not the goal

If you watch it I think he is actually with his man (Rodri), and Ake is actually Maddisons man initially at the edge of the box, Maddison doesn't track Ake as the ball comes in then Cags misses the header as well

It was either the one that didn't count or one that Kasper saved. Ake runs of Maddison I think. I will clarify my initial post though. Edited 27 September 2020 by Fox92
sdb Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Brilliant second half when he appeared to have been instructed to be more aggressive. He tends to look a little nervy, defensive, passive to me, but that was a big improvement.
Lambert09 Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Great option at cb for a 3. I personally think he’d struggle as part of a 2 though. He was good playing as the stopper and coming out early. 1
thegaffa Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 He was excellent today considering how little competitive football at this level that he has played in the last 2 years. looks good in a back 3 but would he be as comfortable as a 2 pairing cb, hope so.
Aesc Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 I'm chuffed for him. Will do his confidence the world of good.
Wolfox Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 He was as good today as he was bad Wednesday He seems like a lovely chap and I’m happy for him and delighted that he appears to be a CB option for us
Popular Post Bert Posted 27 September 2020 Popular Post Posted 27 September 2020 @Col city fan is absolutely fuming that he’s played really well today 1 7
Guest Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Big performance. I bet everyone in the dressing room is absolutely made up for him as well.
ealingfox Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Don't know if anyone's mentioned this but he's played CB for Ghana.
foxinsocks Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Big dan is in our starting 11. Fofana and puel can do one
RowlattsFox Posted 27 September 2020 Posted 27 September 2020 Back 3 seemed to suit him. Lost Fernandinho fornhsi header which would have been game over but had a good overall game. He's great when he keep things simple, after all he's been through you have to be pleased for him. Still think we need a centre back but he's definitely done enough to keep him around.
