2020/21 Niels Nkounkou

[Barnfred 55]

He's like one of those cheat players on Champ Man no ones heard of that you bring in on a free who has -9 potential.

I haven't got a 'kin clue what you're on about mate. But I'm assuming it's meant as a compliment

 

[Ruairi77]

Hope he plays against West Ham, I'm sure he will. It will be interesting to see how he is defensively against a stronger team.
Looks excellent going forward and I really like how he sprinted back in to position after an attack broke down.
Full of energy and skill!

Digne did set us up with the game winner against Spurs and set up Keane with a sitter in game 2. It’s actually a huge advantage to have two of the best set piece takers in the league on the field at the same time. Both have very different deliveries.

Digne's assist against Spurs was superb, and in general his delivery is good.

I think James shades him on corners tho, every one he put in against West Brom looked dangerous; pinpoint and whipped in with pace. Whereas Digne from corners has a tendency to hit the first man at times

I think it’s a matter of Lucas trying to be precise as possible. Because when he misses the first man, it’s almost always a sitter for one of our lads. We were the king of corners last year for a reason

 

[Barnfred 55]

He is insane. But I think people are forgetting Digne is too

Not many in fairness. Most are just trying to figure out how to get them both on the pitch at the same time.

Digne has started the season fantastically.

I think it would be realistic to start either player further upfield and swap Gomes out. It may also be a situation though where Carlo doesn’t want to feed his ego too much at such a young age. All I know is we are super secure at LB

Gives me the creeps this does, it use to be my favourite movie, now I can’t watch it. But, I can watch Niels all day long.

 

[UptheTofees]

How versatile is he?

Can he play RB? Left midfield?

 

[John from Bootle]

Small amount of footage of him for us, and Marseille kids by the looks of it....

 

[TheSouthernBlue]

How the hell have we ended up with 2 very very decent left backs? Gone of the days of Pistone slotting in.

This lad certainly is a player, but so is Digne. I wouldn’t be surprised if City come sniffing for either given their attacking strengths.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I’m in agreement with others. I wonder how the hell he slipped through everyone’s radar. And why the hell Marseille let him go

2 amazing left-backs, 0 decent right-backs.

Proper Everton.

Ah now, Coleman is at the very least a decent RB. But we are dangerously short there, no doubt

Does decent mean 'can defend'?

 

[Prevenger17]

Does decent mean 'can defend'?

Yes. Among other things. Coleman is a good RB, I think we take him for granted when we see what we have on the other side
