Danilo 2018/19 Performances

[TonyM]

Walker is not crap by any means and has plenty of good games. I just think that with Danilo instead you don’t loose much defensively but you gain a lot offensively. Not just himself but how others come into the game. Eg Sterling+Danilo > Sterling+Walker.

Very impressed yesterday and Walker does not have a guaranteed first team slot if Danilo continues with these type of performances.

Against Bournemouth, there were some lapses on defense down our right flank.

For example, at one point the Bournemouth winger (or whomever was attacking on their far left at the time) was left wide open - maybe 15 yards or so to our nearest defender - deep in our territory with all the time in the world to do whatever he wanted.

Maybe this was due to a miscommunication between Otters and Danilo- maybe Danilo dropped his man intentionally expecting Otters to pick up.

Whatever the case - I'm far more confident when Walker starts - this sort of error doesn't seem to happen when Walker plays; as of late, Walker may be out-of-position a bit or prone to an errant pass - but I still trust him on defense far more than I trust Danilo.

Going forward, Danilo is the better option (by a bit - Danilo isn't world class going forward) - but for me, this does not outweigh Walker's defensive contribution.

Does anyone know how long he’s likely to be out for?

 

[HenryNacho]

Damn I was thinking a good game from him today and he might get his chance at being our first choice right back. Hopefully he is back in time for those post Christmas fixtures.

 

[Cobwebcat]

What’s up with him this time?

Can’t catch a break.

The Brazilian Stefan Jovetic

 

[RandomJ]

The Brazilian Roque Santa Cruz

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Looks like he is back in training which will be a big help over the next few weeks if he stays fit

The Brazilian Stefan Jovetic

Check out Carlos Kaizer a Brazilian who made a career from football without actually playing. He was signed by about 10 clubs over a ten year period

Such an all round good defender. Shame he has had so many injuries because without them I think he'd be our No.1 right back.

 

[Delphinho]

Much better than Walker offensively

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Hes currently the best full back at the club. I know that’s hardly a glowing recommendation at the moment but he is the best nonetheless.

 

[TCIB]

I think we are very lucky with this fella. He is imo a top level player, especially given a run in the team. He never seems to moan whilst waiting for his chance either. I think Pep looks at him and thinks "yeah this man is what i want in my team". He has a granite hard mentality.

 

[Trojan1962]

Much better footballer than Walker and drives forward, I’d start him any day over Walker

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Best game for the club , didnt shirk any tackles and was neat & tidy with the ball ,maybe Walker needs time out of the team because his mistakes are becoming costly a few weeks on the bench wont do him any harm and get him back to form for the Champs league.

 

[kaz7]

Very good RB,i hope he stays there for the next game

 

[purplenose]

Thought he was good today and did enough to stay ahead of Walker.

 

[manimanc]

Very underated footballer but gives it his all. Being Brazilian puts extra pressure on him but he always plays well when he comes in.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Solid RB. Obviously being very fresh helps him, but thats what we need right now. Walker should play in the cups for now.
