Vinny's done it, Fern's done it, Eddie's done it, even Raheem often looks for an extra touch.I still see him farting about at Wolves by the dead ball line. What top class pro would fuck up like that?
All players have the occasional brain fart.
Angelino is not a LB, his defending is appalling, we need a top class LB with Mendy as back up.is Angelino good enough to be our first choice LB?
I’m not sure he is and that’s the type of player we need to bring in, someone who can challenge Mendy.

not many outstanding LBs in the game that are attainable tbh.
I’d take Digne, think he could be a good signing.
I agree there are not, but it would not take much to be a major upgrade on what we have.not many outstanding LBs in the game that are attainable tbh.

Can't see us signing a LB as well as all the other positions we need. Which I don't necessarily agree with but I've watched a lot of Angelino since he went back to RB L and been really impressed.
However, Zinchenko needs to go IMO. Angelino to fight it out with Mendy.
In an ideal world though we would sell Zinchenko and Mendy and have a solid LB and then Angelino as understudy. But it seems a big ask when the season starts in 4 weeks.

imo, definitely not.
He is great going forward, but the man cannot defend for his life. We need strong and physical fullbacks, Angelino is not the answer.
If all the leftback had to do was whip a cross in, we could go for any player with a good left foot. We need a realiable defender, but also someone who can cross a ball and get forward.
Despite two hard knee-injuries for Mendy, I still trust the man better than any of Zinch or Angelino. Zero doubt, but this upcoming season is make or break for Mendy. If he’s not showing the man from Monaco, Pep wil definitely get rid of him.

What attainable LB is in the market that would be? That’s the dilemma the club have at the moment.
Personally don’t feel there are any players available at a reasonable price that would be significantly better than what Angelino would offer us and he’s free, home grown, club trained and has already spent time in Pep’s system.
If Angelino wasn’t a City player, rather a fully fledged Leipzig player, this forum would be filled with people saying the club should sign him based off of his recent performances.

Why Aouar when we have Bernardo and Foden who are better players?Exactly we had/played the wrong players for it to work
-------------------------------Ederson---------------------------
------------Koulibaly-----Laporte-----Ake----------------
Cancelo‐----‐-----------------------------------------Angelino
----------------KDB---------Rodri--------Aouar--------------

They are better players than Gundogan too but who does Pep play in that midfield spot?
Is Angelino that bad at defending ? Yes he is better going forward but he has not had a problem in Germany defending nor did he get many chances here. How many mistakes has he made ? people point to I think United and Liverpool games but they are the better opposition and not sure of the specific mistakes he made. Our problems this year have been lack of people in defensive areas rather than specific individual errors tho they have happened Mendy has made a few individual errors walker to they are in fact more obvious than Angelinos errors. Others have said he is not big and strong but could he not bulk up ? and does it really matter we have always gone for technical ability of over strength

I’ve said in the past he’s not good enough but he has to be a better option than zinchenko. zinchenko is more versatile but he’s never playing in any position other than left back for us so that’s kind of pointless. Angelino is probably better defensively, certainly no worse, has more pace and is infinitely better going forward. Would work well in a 3 if Pep goes down that route although I pray he doesn’t and all with the incredibly valuable bonus of being club trained which essentially makes him a free player. We would be mad to sell him. Sell zinchenko, bring back angelino, we’re at the absolute minimum no worse off and we get a free squad place to allocate elsewhere.

Yes.
He is bad at defending & far too slow & we need another one like a hole in the head.
(That's another thing he can't do: head the ball).
Fine going forward.

I'd much rather keep Angelino than Zinchenko, simply because Angelino is a better footballer.
But I think if you played Raheem Sterling there, or Bernardo Silva, you would have an equally shit fullback, miles better going forward.
Let's just end this kind of crap & have players fit for purpose.

Don’t understand this quick going forward slow going back thing
