TheMightyVillans Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I think if Digne was fit we would have seen Moreno and Digne on the left together in the 2nd half similar to cash and young on the other side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 Better than Digne going forward but defensively he looked a bit shaky at times today. Exactly what I expected when we signed him to be honest. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Needs to strengthen up physically for me but that's expected. Lot more to come from him for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolta Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I thought he looked good. Sometimes it feels as if one individual less good thing overrides everything else when I read these reactions. No player is going to be 100% perfect in any game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 For someone who has been in the country since last week Wednesday he’s been very good in the two performances he’s had for us. Once he’s used to the speed and physicality he’s going to be an absolute cracker the gorgeous dreamboat. Ahhh wub…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Definitely helped with our shape in possession. He’s basically the left winger in the final third. Has some adapting to do understandably, didn’t helped that the ref let more run than usual either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I like him. Commits a bit early sometimes and gets done that way but has the pace and athleticism to try recover. Only 2 games but I think we’ve got a good left back here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Good pace, needs some time to gel with the link up play going forward but crucially can pass AND dribble. Targett and Digne could only do one or the other. Not too worried about him defensively. He will probably get skinned at some point but that is the life of a fullback. His positioning is innately good and balances staying wide and knowing when to narrow the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes to nick the ball from in front of the opponent. Which is great if it works but if it doesnt we can be exposed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 A little bit herky jerky on the ball, it doesn’t seem to be sitting down for him and it’s obviously a step up pace wise. Impressed with the forward positions he gets into and his low crosses into the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted January 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2023 Thought he was gonna pull the wingers pants down when he broke free, took a yellow for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t look like someone that only arrived about 10 days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I know that’s his first start and there’s a lot of acclimatising to be done… But he was a defensive liability I thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Looks good progressing up the pitch. Would've had a really nice assist if Bailey hadn't slipped. In defence, he just needs to get better a dealing with physical moments (either buying a FK or positioning himself better) but I thought he was generally good in that area too.

VillaParkAvenue Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 He’ll most likely improve after only being in the country for a week, but he really had a hard time defensively in the second half today. I know Digne isn’t popular these days but for me he could still be first choice. Oh well, we’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
