jacksonho Posted Wednesday at 22:05 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:05 I thought his handball today was critical, Bayern would have been straight in a 2 on 1 situation if he let it past. Worth picking up a yellow for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted Wednesday at 22:09 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:09 22 minutes ago, Wezbid said: It depends on what the criticism is. If it's just mindless insults, then I concur but seeing errors/lack of concentration/poor positional play is not finding a scapegoat. It's talking about things that have happened in a game Some of the comments over time have been way ott in my opinion but it's been hard to defend him at times lately. At the same time, he should be rightly applauded for tonight. Most people will be happy to give praise when it's due. Those who can't are either trolls or obnoxiously stubborn. Well put point mate. My issue was him being blamed on Sunday for the 2nd goal. As I said at the time, if our player scored that, we'd have been saying what a turn, what a finish. But Konsa hung him out to dry and Diego copped the flak. I'm not proclaiming him to be Maldini or Baresi but he's a lot better than some think on this forum and tonight quietened a few critics.

Zatman Posted Wednesday at 22:51 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:51 Was terrible last week but very good today. Kane didnt have a touch vs him Its like he is up for the big games and has no interest vs smaller teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted Wednesday at 22:54 Share Posted Wednesday at 22:54 Someone on Twitter said that no player reflects the quality of the opposition quite like Diego Carlos. So true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted Thursday at 02:52 Share Posted Thursday at 02:52 So his best 3 performances since he has been here are against Man City, Arsenal and Bayern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJG23 Posted Thursday at 07:12 Share Posted Thursday at 07:12 (edited) Stood tall last night. Given some of the apprehension about him pre-match, he really did turn in a great performance. A real asset if he can produce that type of performance on a consistent basis. Edited Thursday at 09:53 by AJG23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted Thursday at 09:44 Share Posted Thursday at 09:44 He's a proper defender. His strengths are apparent when we have to defend, which generally happens against top teams who we'll give up possession to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we’re defending against strong teams the back line is superb at keeping its shape and defending as a unit and that’s where he’s at his best. Same as city and Arsenal last year. He comes unstuck when he’s left exposed because the RB and midfield are in the opposition half like against Ipswich, or when he’s under pressure to break their press quickly which is generally against smaller teams and we’ve only 2-3 at the back when they attack. It’s why Emery played Konsa at CB in those games and Cash at RB. We don’t have that option at the moment. It doesn’t mean he’ not interested.

Unfortunately now we play a possession based game this is where he looks not as good. Ask him to defend..he will do it. Ask him to play...he struggles. Perfect game for him last night...he played really well and the handball...definitely took one for the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
