2020/21 Niels Nkounkou

[Eggs]

The situation hasn't necessarily demanded it for the entire length of Digne's injury though. It was more of the same.

....sorry, I thought you were talking solely about Nkounkou not coming on for him today.

 

[DOMNOLAN]

Finally given a go AFTER Digne is fit. Not going to play for us, get him out on loan sharpish.

 

[paulbefc]

Not a great test of his ability there really as they pretty much threw the towel in in extra time. We already knew he was quick and could put a cross in. Obviously Ancelotti thinks he's missing something. Perhaps game intelligence/discipline. There's time for that though.

Just another example for me. Circumstances have changed a bunch of times but he handles it the same every time.

That's fine. It still is Carlo going to Godfrey first.

It is possible to;
1) Acknowledge that Godfrey has done well at left back and was a good solution by the manager
2) Acknowledge that Nkounkou did well when he came on today. I like him.

I thought Godfrey was poor today on the whole. I'd have to go back and check to see if all the bad stuff was before he moved positions.

He's quick, puts a decent cross in, but, he needs experience. If Carlo won't play him, and it very much looks as of he won't, then he needs to go on loan. I'm not a lover of sending players on loan but, this kid has all the tools to be player, but he needs game time.

He's still a bit passive for me. He will get better and has great attributes too. I thought he and the team improved when he played full back. Their right back was a pain all game before that.

Watched a different game to me I thought Godfrey was one of the plus points in an abysmal team performance.

 

[Eggs]

...looks a Rolls Royce this lad and decent enough on the ball. Massive move and step up for him but he looks a player of great promise.

....oh dear, I gave Godfrey MoM.

 

[MACCA75]

Quick and puts a decent ball into the box. The two things we have sorely lacked recently. Should have come on v West Ham.

 

[irishblue11]

from the short time he was on, i thought he was decent and put in a a couple of dangerous crosses. would like to see more chances for him, couldve done with him maybe v west ham.

Amazed at that. I thought Godfrey was one of our better players out there. Defensively he was solid and covered extremely well using his pace at times. Was tidy and positive in possession too, while the majority of our team couldn't find their men.

Nkoukou had some lovely moments today. Contributed to two decent chances almost as soon as he came on. I can only guess that the defensive side of his game is pretty poor if he's not getting more minutes. Hopefully Carlo and Bainesy can get him up to speed because he'll be a real force.

 

[TrixyStevens]

There is a player there. He needs minutes, I think he could build his profile greatly in the championship or league 1.
