Re: Mangala

Mangala showed the lad wide, he shouldn't have been able to score from there. Poor from Caballero.

If Mangala had closed him down, the kid would have cut inside an had a much easier chance.

Re: Mangala

Hope it's just the league adjustment. He doesn't look half as good as Lescott at the moment.

Re: Mangala

Fucking hell, you know someone is becoming a scapegoat if people blame him for that goal. Shit from Fernandinho, Mangala covers for him well, stays on his feet, forces the man out wide and leaves the rapid winger has no choice but to shoot from a very narrow angle, only for Willy to let the weak shot go straight through him. Fuck all wrong with what Mangala did.

Re: Mangala

He should have put a challenge in for the goal and what he was doing at that corner I don't know.

He is a mile of it at the moment and needs leaving out.

Kompany and Demichellis now for a few games.

Re: Mangala

Give the lad a break ffs. He's only 23 and will make mistakes, haven't we all done the same? He is on a learning curve here and playing alongside people like Kompany will turn him good. Name me a single buyable defender in Europe that should be playing alongside Kompany who can guarantee perfection. You could say Hummels or someone like that but Dortmund are 15th and have lost 4 in a row... It isn't as cut and dry as that so lets just give the lad time.

Re: Mangala

Willy and Fernandinho has to take the blame for the goal, not Mangala's fault but his heading today has been awful and his defending the corner for the Dummett chance was schoolboy like, arm round the neck, pulled him to the ground then moved on to MDM's man?! Terrible stuff he doesn't need to do that, he is great in the air and strong as a bull. Just needs to relax and concentrate on his defensive duties think he is trying too hard to justify his price tag at times.

No but what do we do? Mangala looks an accident waiting to happen at times.

Add to that the shit that is Kolorov and clichy and our left side is so exposed its laughable.
