Unicorn.

Best player at the club this season.

Still has aspects of his defending he needs to improve but he’s only 22.

 

[.db.]

player of the season i've been told

Easily. It’s not even close to be honest.

Easily. It’s not even close to be honest.

From the end, maybe. Been one of our worst.

 

[Dax777]

He is a left back. he's just bad at it. Whenever he plays CB he's been even worse.


Well, a month ago I said savinho but he's fallen off a cliff, so honestly the answer right now is no one. Gun to my head i would still say savinho, but it's a very underwhelming POTS.

He is a fantastic left back.

 

[robbieh]

The poor kid's been run into the ground the 2 seasons he's been with us.

Also Pep's ridiculous use of Lewis means Khusanov moves to the right to cover as do Dias and Josko, leaving inviting spaces down our left.

 

[chris85mcfc]

Not surprised a few mistakes have started to creep in, when he's playing alongside a different centre half every week, and his options in midfield have gone from the best player in the world, to Gundogan, Rico and Kovacic.

 

[WallyA]

He hasnt been allowed to be a natural attacking leftback, whenever he has, he looks amazing.

Pep has for some reason made him play deeper as a wide CB, which I think is a blunder.

Same for RB, play Nunes wide as well. Let the wingers drift centrally and the attack thrives again with more link up between attackers.

 

[mcfcphil]

Any chance we can lock player threads during international break?

In fairness there's a huge lack of footballing talent across the entire globe right now.

Go back 15 years... 10 years even.
Look at some of the players and compare to now.
Even English players.

He was good tonight (Croatia 2 - France 0), proper Sparta.

It did help that Modric was containing Mbappe.

That’d be far too entertaining and logical.

The overall quality is horrendous isn’t it - we managed to acquire a lot of genuinely world class talent like Tevez, Toure and Aguero because they were either surplus at or not needed by the established elite teams at the time.

joško was subbed off due to injury.

That's not good. Were you watching? What was the injury?

 

[vanchi]

i saw him talking to the medical team and he was subbed off soon after. the head coach confirmed it in the post match interview but didn’t give details. hope it’s not serious.

Thanks. Let's hope it's minor.

 

[Apex82]

Didn’t think he looked like he was moving well for the first half for extra time before being taken off. Hope he is ok. Great block he made in the second half, looked like a certain goal!

 

[Longballutd]

Any idea of injury and expected time out?

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

At this rate Erling will be playing left back for the rest of the season
