Player Topic: Bacary Sagna (2015/16)

[FredTilson]

You don't go and spunk a lot of money on a 3rd choice full back just incase both are out injured for a few weeks.

I hope Sagna makes it but if he doesn't then we could play Otamendi there(although we won't get much going forward and it'll be a big ask to have him start his first game in a new country out of poistion and up against a speed demon in Zaha) or Maffaeo or at a push Navas.

Otamendi played RB against Germany in the 2010 WC and was absolutely positively shite there.

Watch this 1:40 onwards:

3-5-2, unless we step Maffeo up.

Get sagna ready for juve and give maffeo a go! Will probably have to play navas in front for extra cover!

 

[mardon85]

They didn't take him off even though he was limping AND it was a friendly. FFS!

 

[George Hannah]

Otamendi must be in line for a start on Saturday if Sagna's injury last night is serious - if he gets back from Dallas in time that is.

Seem to remember some posters saying that they'd seen Mangala play full back position competently — although presumably that was on the left?

 

[whp.blue]

has he even got his work permit yet?

 

[DMA's]

Palace main threat comes from out wide. Without a rb we could be in trouble here. Fucking France.

 

[Ric]

Huge blow if he is ruled out. Playing either Maffeo or Otamendi at right back against Bolasie wouldn't be ideal.

 

[mancity dan]

has he even got his work permit yet?

It was confirmed a couple of days ago.
