45 | Abdukodir Khusanov - 2025/26

[pride in battle]

Whilst I broadly agree it was Walker at RB who we used to cover for the lack of pace elsewhere in the defence.

We’ve never been blessed with fast CB’s for a while now, Akanji I guess.

We also need defenders who can actually DEFEND !

 

[Bigga]

If it wasn’t for Nunes stupidly throwing his arms in the air then none of us would even remember it.

Thank you!!

Reading some of the stupid comments about it has me in despair!

Maybe if Khusanov combed his hair differently, Nunes might have kept his arm down!!

Good lord, there are some crazy posters on here!

 

[skillman]

I really hope this nonsense of the tackle leading to the penalty is rubbished as I read on. They are two separate incidents. Khusanov could have won the tackle, the ball still go out to their player leading to the same situation.

NOBODY forced Nunes to angle his arm up TWICE.

Correct. But regardless, it was a silly challenge. Both poor mistakes.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Anyone know if he's likely to be involved tomorrow?

 

[Stelea]

If fit he needs to play in a back 4 of him, Stones (if fit) Dias & Gvardiol (if fit). Gvardiol given free reign down the left and hopefully Doku not in front of him

 

[Lowtower]

We need this nutter tomorrow, can do one of his two footed lunges on Rat ****

because we'll play better with 10 men?

Mate, its the rags

We dont need 11 men

This boy is our RB. I do not want to see either of our clowns play there again over him.

 

[Chorlton_NZ]

Id love to know how quick he really is. Seems to smoke any opponent in a foot race and never seems to be out of third gear.

 

[01cravend]

The argument was always hes not good enough on the ball to play RB for us...
Yet not a single attack came down his side. Give me that over inverted tika taka everyday of the week.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

100%. He has to be considered our RB and the other two for when he needs a rest. I don’t want to see rotation.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Brilliant today. Shut everything down from his side and covered the centre as well.

Not sure why it’s taken so long to get him in the side at right back, but I’m very glad that he’s there now.

 

[WallyA]

If we let the LB do all the attacking (RAN or O Reilly) then it's better to have a more defensive RB like Khus to balance it.

He is just too good defensively, those supposed on the ball problems are way over blown.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

He was great today, maybe the solution to the right back conundrum

 

[HelloCity]

Brillliant.

Our new right back.

 

[Blu1]

Plays every game for me. Class

 

[Chak19]

Yeah don't want to see Lewis or Nunes again, Khus can become the new Walker, Ait Nouri and Nico will give us the creativity on the other side.

 

[lightning Rodri]

Hope Pep persists with him at RB.

 

[bluethai]

Now I can be assured of no nonsense on the right side.
