Diego Carlos

[KennyG]

Better than Koulibaly everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. Playing in a proper league. Hope to hear that Utd have contacted Napoli and we can get this show on the road.

Otamendi normally goes to ground trying to make a tackle 30 yards out, misses because he's already 2 yards behind, and then just watches as the goal gets scored.

Do people not remember the press conferences in 2016/17 when Pep was just completely despairing at how Otamendi would take himself out of the game so high up the pitch?

First rule of defending coached into me, don't go to ground, stay on your feet and that was at Junior School decades ago we're talking about a pro here at one of Europe's best clubs under one of the Worlds best coaches. Maybe Ota has a learning issue . The mind boggles.

Bobby Moore had it off to a tee ;-)

 

[Silva_Spell]

His pace would have been mighty helpful tonight... Neither of Lyon's first 2 goals happen with big d Diego on the scene

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Does it matter who we get with Rodri and Gundo to protect the back 4? We need a prime Fernandinho on the central midfield more than anything.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Can he stand on two legs, & run ?

Get him in.

 

[davek1808]

We need pace at the back AND in midfield.

[decmancity]

Will fit right in with those sort of tackles.

 

[RayCTID]

Thanks but no thanks

 

[willipp]

2 games I’ve seen him in and 2 pens for rash tackles. We don’t need another liability at the back.

 

[mccity]

At this rate the only defender left for us to sign that will be univerally loved is Sir Jonny Evans.

Lets bring JFE home

Lets bring JFE home

You're on a hot streak fella ;)

 

[dubblue]

That’s not a penalty. You see that kind of situation in every game where a player gets a shot off and is then hit by a defender. Joke of a decision.

Spoilsport.

Oh go on.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

He just looks like he'd add to our list of brainless defenders.

 

[Neville Kneville]

He's clearly got all the ability required to be brilliant, but does speed.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Are there any top quality centre backs out there?

 

[zepenedo]

A poor man's Marquinhos. Brazil always produces this kind of CBs. Fast, good on the ball, but absolutely brainless like David Luiz OR excessively aggressive ones like Thiago Silva. Diego Carlos seems like a mix of both. Marquinhos did improve a lot in the past couple seasons and seems to be an exception to this rule. I wonder how much he'd cost to sign?
