2017/18 Cuco Martina

[madkiwi]

After he was left on his arse again in the second half, the commentator said Schneiderlin was having a right go at him. The cameras then went to Williams picking him up, and having an encouraging word, which by the gestures he was making seemed to be a mix of be stronger, and keep your head up. Thought it an interesting set of interactions between three of the most criticised squad members.

Who else exactly do you expect to play at left back?

I think Jags played left back at Blades in his younger day.

Not ideal by a long, long shot but blimey....better than Cuco.

Jagielka at left back???? Good god no.

I think Robles would be a better bet than Jags!

Have you ever seen him doing keep ups and playing long passes at half time? I’d have him in centre mid.

 

[hullefc]

He’s the worst footballer I’ve ever seen. Ever.

You obviously never saw Bernie Wright. Martina is not very good to say the least, can see Allardyce getting a proper left back in January. Odd really, but at times Martina's clumsiness/awkwardness actually helped him against Salah on Sunday.

Garbutt cannot play Wednesday- Koeman never regestered him for the first team squad!

..I thought that only applied to the Europa League.

Not a great footballer by any means but I didn't think he was as bad at Anfield as people are making out. He was playing out of position against one of the most in form players in the world.

Yes, he was beaten once and they scored from it but Gueye is even more at fault for that in my opinion.

If Salah was on the other wing and Baines was right back out of position, he'd have probably scored more.

I would have liked to have seen their second stream full back Andy Robertson in blue from the start of the season.
Missed a good opportunity there. The world and it's wife could see Baines was on the decline.

Looks a player alright. Cant imagine how Moreno plays ahead of him. Long may it continue

 

[little elfin]

I think he plays left back better than right back defensively. lol

no, because of his age he needed to be registered in the 1st team squad. obviously the 2 clowns koeman and walsh didnt bother their arses

 

[Carlito]

The way he collapses like Tower 7 makes me laugh.

You're on to something there , put Robles in goal and Jordan at left back , he's left footed and can certainly move the ball.
