I agree with that- but why would that mean Spence can't get some minutes at either RB or LB though? Surely Udogie and Porro were worthy of being subbed off vs Ipswich, no?
Look i don't disagree, and I'm hoping now fit that Djed will get his chances.
The RWB/LWB role under Ange, is the most physically demanding of all the positions imo. I like the way both Porro and Udogie push up and in plus overlap but I'd like to see us invest in another top flight left back come January and have 2 pairs, Porro/Udogie. Spence/? and rotate the pairs every couple of games. Recently both Udogie and Porro look dead on their feet to me.
Myth. He’s really tightened up imo, unlike the hapless udogie
He was on the bench last game.
Ange incredibly only used 3/5 subs.
Disagree. Porro is afraid to make an aerial challenge, generally. You have to be at least willing to try as an FB.
He’s been at this club over 2 years, do you really think he wouldn’t have shown enough to get ahead of an 18 year old playing out of position, if he was actually really good?
He’s a good example of people imagining he’s a great player in hiding because that’s what they wish to believe.
Yeah that’s a weaker area - I was thinking more 1 vs 1 where he is good but even then I think he’s better aerially than Udogie
Sure buddy- I'm interested to hear his scoring rate per 90' versus Porro and Udogie. I hear they scored so much in their magical inverted fullback roles that it's made up for them almost not playing any defense at all. You shouldn't have to spend too much time proving how far superior they are offensively and defensively.
What the fuck has Spence done now? Porro was abysmal and running on fumes, surely Spence would have been more productive?
It was never lack of ability with Spence originally it was Cunte being a dick club signing and then his attitude came into play but he has knuckled down according to Hercules.Shown glimpses of being good but circumstances have fucked him.
but seriously, getting GLC treatment from last season all over again.
What is the opposite of "seal of quality"? Because that's what the phrase "according to Hercules" is.
I feel a bit for Lankshere should of got a bit longer today.
