Lets see how he does against opposition that is not Southampton.

And strong too refusing to be shaken off as he made the run that resulted in our first goal!
Providing he gets the chance

We have a bit of cover at full back, well that’s news to me
Unbelievable comments- does he really think we are so stupid as to believe that? Or is he really so stupid as to believe it?
I don’t think that he gives a fuck!
It’s Ange’s way or the highway!
Lol ya sorry was just playing a little bit of devil's advocate with the OP

Absolutely!
Except it was 12M for Djed and it was two years ago so 40% has already been written off through amortisation so book value is now 7.2M. So more 40:7.2 means game time priority 5.6 to 1.
Archie so far 963 minutes, Djed 186, ratio 5.2:1, pretty close.
All firmly tongue in cheek.

There was a foul he committed early on where he was a bit lucky not to be cautioned ( he was late and stomped on the players foot). Other than he had a good game.
Said the same with him in the back line and VDV you have two players who can get back and cover. Porro doesn’t have the pace and destiny the awareness.
Cover! Where? If he means gray then he’s talking BS! Gray is CM by trade. He could have put him on v bmouth instead of Porro but chose not to. You never know he may have a made a diff with bursting run down the right. All on Ange.
Total BS from Ange there in that quote.
He doesn’t believe it. All managers talk shit in press conferences, no idea why people take it as face value. Clearly there’s an issue with Spence (not a footballing / ability issue).
I watched the interview and it sounded like he meant it.
Telling for me is that he only mentioned cover at RB, which is true. I think Gray started RB in the City league cup win so Gray was behind and waiting then.
Tells me that he doesn’t really see him as LB cover even if the club didn’t get him cover for Destiny and VDV. But he’s probably played more minutes at LB than RB this season.
He’s obv better at RB but I think he’s skilful enough to still adapt to LB. He is well balanced and is not rigid so can open his body and play balls down the line. Does my head in that Udogie is an auto cert
Looked decent at LB vs Saints.
Bit shakey in pre season at LB vs Bayern but it was pre-season. Plus he's half a season of coaching in the system further on. I'm expecting him to get another start at LB vs UTD and then Udogie is back for Liverpool.

He has better raw physical attributes than any of our other fullbacks. And it's not like Udogie or Porro have been that great overall, so I think Djed has shown enough that he should be starting more games.
He should at minimum be used to rotate with either of those two.
Udogie and Porro are being run into the ground. So giving them some extra minutes to rest should hopefully lead to their performance levels going up as well.
You could argue that there is a minimal difference in quality between Bayern and Southampton.
Good option depending what opponents wide attackers are like and whether home or away.
You could try and argue that...
