Tells you everything about him really. We don't want him and neither does anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I would trust him taking our set-pieces since they have been complete shit for the last 5 years that he cant do any worse. He seems a good footballer with a good left foot but weak defender that I still think he could do a job left midfield 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did however like Lowton. Would've been better if we'd just loaned him out last season as he proved his quality at Burnley so would've been a good option this year. Selling Lowton was a mistake.

Not so sure, say one of them is out with injury for 5 months again? Could also feasibly play Amavi further up in a more attacking role with Bennett or Aly behind.

I don't rate Aly at all. Offers nothing going forward and is a liability defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Tbh I have always thought Aly is pretty solid defensively - at least compared to others in our defense. But as you say offers very little at all going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I used to think that as well until last season. He looked as shoddy as the rest of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPAngel Posted July 11, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2016 There's a reason Liverpool fans think Cissokho is a joke of a football player and that no one has been tempted to pick him up from us since relegation. Physically he's immense in terms of stature, but he's clumsy in defense and just cannot run forward with the ball, let alone put a decent cross in. He'll run a lot during the game but not for any real purpose. Combo that with Hutton on the other side who is pretty similar and you've got a recipe for disaster again.

But as you say offers very little at all going forward. He wasn't solid defensively towards the end of least season, or arguably previous to being sent out on loan. He's been a bit pants for us full stop and I get the feeling his reputation for being solid defensively is based on reputation and the fact that he's utterly dogshit going forward, giving the impression he must have value defensively. I too would like to see Bennett given another chance. Not least because I've always maintained that there's a decent player in there and whilst he struggled as a young man in the premier league that's not reason to write a player off completely. He's got a wonderful left peg. That he's also 10/10 WB is irrelevant. Honest. Edited July 11, 2016 by dont_do_it_doug. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is a solid lb but going forward he is absolutely shocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
