2020/21 Lucas Digne

[blue61]

He's surprisingly good in the air I agree with that

Just like his great grandad Dixie.

 

[LABlue2]

He’s not perfect but he’s no worse defensively than the rest of our back line... and he can actually move the football forward and pick out a teammate. One of our best players easily.

He's lost some of his luster after he returned from his injury but he's still one of favorites, pretty reliable we just haven't set up properly to utilize his strengths

 

[Carlito]

It never gets mentioned, but seeing as there's a lot of conversation about this in the Max Aarons thread, Digne hardly ever gets beat in the air either. He sometimes struggles against raw pace, but no full back always comes out on top.

His defending really isn't an issue. But I do think the speed at which he came back from his injury has probably caught up with him a bit.

He'll commit himself against quick / tricky wingers, but he's not the kind of full-back who doesn't take his defending seriously.

Attacking-wise, I think he just needs someone to combine with down the left.

A consistent, legitimate threat down the right side would also help, as defenses wouldn't be able to cheat over to contain him.

I think this is more of the problem. Teams overload the left side and he’s left in one on one matchups (which are not his strongsuit). He is essentially man marked. If Digne has space, he will make you pay. We need a competent right hand side (or at least a runner in behind like Walcott but better).

 

[Charles Plastusz]

Every time he gets the ball all our players just turn their backs and run away from him, he’s obviously a fantastic crosser but a little variation would really help. It’s actually comical at times watching our attackers just turn and sprint towards the six yard box

I'd also like to see him cut in, run at goal and have a go himself once in a while, if for no other reason than to make the attack less predictable.

He's a very good crosser but it's obvious what he's going to do because he always does it. He does it even when DCL isn't there to get on the end of it. Mix it up, man.

He can link up at a high level too but our players just try to play a one two with him every time so he can cross.

 

[DaChunk]

He has the quality to do well in any team.

Excuse me! Have you been drinking?

 

[Bullens Rd]

Must be frustrating for him to never see anybody on the left wing, like, ever. What kind of weird tactic is that?

 

[LABlue2]

Excuse me! Have you been drinking?

Have you?

 

[Bluebonic]

Imagine him with a pienaar type ahead of him!
