Finished.

Surprised to hear you say this, you're his number one fan as I recall.

 

[arch stanton]

Finished, WTF has he done wrong?? Different planet you lad

 

[ToffeeTim]

Been our better full back by a country mile.

Not been done once even though he has zero pace these days. Model professional

 

[rochdaleblue]

Finished.

Sidibe hasn’t even started today in comparison.

He offers nothing.

I watched him stand off an Arsenal player in the box there 5 yards off him as he got a shot off...and he does his same old trick: turns his back when the shot does come.

He offers nothing going forward. Not now.

Ergo: 'he's finished'.

Sidibe hasn’t even started today in comparison.

How is that a defence of Baines?

He’s been far worse then Baines.

This game.

 

[rochdaleblue]

This game.

Yes. Baines hasn’t offered much going forward but has been ok defensively, Sidibe is all over the place defensively and has been for most of the season.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

He's been perfectly fine first half. It's Sidibe being constantly caught out of position which is the concern.

 

[andy4efc]

Their second. Such simple defending done wrong. Sidibe should be 5 yards to the left to stop exactly that. Force Aubemayang to stay wide and let your midfielders drop on.

Like, so basic.

Baines, while not perfect tends to sit more central and stops it. Pace doesn’t really come into it that much.

 

[Walken]

been fine

 

[TrixyStevens]

Not put a foot wrong. Sidibe on the other hand is not a defender.

 

[Bebeto]

Not put a foot wrong. Sidibe on the other hand is not a defender.

Unfair on sidibe...baines get protection from both sigurdsson and delph....on the other hand sidibe get no protection at all...
