Adam2003 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Came on here to say what everyone else is - error aside, I felt more comfortable with him on the right alongside Pau than I have with him on the left alongside anyone else. Which also speaks to how good Pau is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Thought the passing was much better from the back two today. Makes a huge difference to our play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he didn’t then it’s absolutely Lenglet’s error. But I thought Lenglet was great today. He and Pau is such a classy partnership. They lack pace, but in possession we look great with them Edited February 17 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I thought Lenglet was great today. He and Pau is such a classy partnership. They lack pace, but in possession we look great with them Emi 100% called for it. That's why he came out to collect it. Yeah Lenglet looks way more comfortable on the ball than Carlos. Happy Cash stayed back. Maybe Konsa- Lenglet-Pau- Moreno is the answer in the remaining games Edited February 17 by Pongo Waring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Waiting for MOTD so haven’t seen it yet, but some on the match thread were brave enough to call EMI out for the error others seem unable to believe this and blame Lenglet totally. Looking forward to seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing it. As above it’s completely dependent on whether Emi called for it. If Emi has called that it’s his ball then Lenglet is blameless. If your keeper shouts for it then you have to leave it. If there’s no shout then it’s on Lenglet. You can’t assume your keeper is getting there. So the split in opinion is understandable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all on Emi, for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all on Emi, for me. Yes he can. If he doesn’t call for it then the defender deals with it. It’s basically the first lesson of goalkeeper/defending communication. Never assume your keeper is getting it. He always has to call for it. If he doesn’t then get rid of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smg Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 From what I saw (they only showed it twice) Martinez should have taken control and collected the ball . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 He was excellent, the only reason he doesn’t always stand out is that he’s competing with Pau and Konsa for attention. As loan signings go he’s up there as one of the best we’ve had. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 It's crazy how things have opened up for him. Has turned into ab important signing given all our injuries. Looked at one point like Conference League games would be his only outings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The interception of that cross he made was exceptional. Prevented a guaranteed goal. The error for the goal may or may not have been him, but one of those things that's much easier to judge in hindsight. Could have done more to prevent the striker getting the ball, whether Emi called for it or not, so holds a share if the blame regardless of whether Emi called for it. But the rest of the match he was very good and gives me a bit more confidence for the time we face without Konsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wont be signing him unless he takes a massive pay cut like dropping 250k a week from his wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
