2017/18 Cuco Martina

[DualityNSNO]

He was poor yesterday.
Didn't do much, if anything, wrong defensively, but his delivery going forward was Hibberteseque and never really troubled their defence.

But people were okay with Hibbert playing because he put on pretty much the same thing forward every game and it was fine, why is it not for Martina?

Is he Lahm? No.
Is he a decent stop gap (and we don't know if Kenny won't start featuring more down the line anyway)? Sure.

Sod Martina. Kenny every time until Coleman returns. Close thread.

Sorry mate, I normally agree with you on virtually everything, but he's a total liability.

The rest of the defence don't trust him at all and get themselves pulled out of position all the time, trying to anticipate when and where he's gonna lose the ball.

Hibbert knew his limitations and generally didn't go past the halfway line.

My eleven year old, has more positional sense than him.

Honoured like.

My only problem with Kenny playing regularly is that he's a local lad and that blinds people to a lot of things, really. Rather he's eased in (as it is right now).

I don't like throwing kids right into starting every match but with Coleman out and Cuco being turrible he needs to start at least >50% of them.

I thought Martina as a placeholder until someone better comes along...yes?

It is entirely laughable that Kenny is not starting until Coleman reclaims his post. Why it's not fine for Martina is that Kenny is a better back, end of.

Difference is that Hibbert was actually boss defensively, Cuco is gash when it comes to defending mate.

 

[brigadier]

he was brought in as back up and not a first team player, failed gamble, time give Kenny a good run.

Boss is pushing it....

He was solid enough generally.

I just like saying boss for everything mate, my missus just asked if my coffee was ok, I replied...........boss.

He is not boss at 40k per week when not needed we needed left back cover!
Not Southamptons 3 rd choice right back !

I was on about Hibbert being boss defensively Joey, not Cuco, he's gash.

Nothing more than a stop gap. Kenny needs to push him out.
