2017/18 Cuco Martina

[Joey66]

He's not really very good is he?

He's looks okish in possession, and can whip a good cross in , that is where it ends as a player - it was him in the injury time who in a passing triangle gave a needless ball away for them to nearly score thanks to pickfords great save!
he balanced the team out , but Holgate or John Joe Kenny could have done it better !

Your songs are as bad as CoCo!lol

thank you Joey...your kind words lend me fibre.
But weren't we a better team in the second half?...Cuco might be a polarising figure, but he's got x factor...

Completely agree.

I'm ok with him as a squad player really. He is positive in attack and is very decent at crossing. He makes the average tasks look very difficult though. It's clear you will have to take the good with the bad with him

 

[ilikecheese]

He's better than Pacman Jones @pgheverton.

 

[Connor]

Get him released ffs.

Like a fish out of water. OK'ish in the opposition's half but a mistake waiting to happen in his own defensive half. Always with his head down over the ball, under hit passes, poor decision making, average 1-on-1 defending. He also added a foul throw to his 'rap sheet' which got Stoke up the pitch when we were under the pump. Hope he improves.

Barrett could defend but couldn't go past the half way line and was rubbish on the ball.

Martina can use the ball put cant defend.

How are they similar?

From what I've seen so far, I'd say Barrett was a better defender, which is hardly a compliment tbh

Like a lot of you, I thought Cuco lent us much greater RHS freedom.
He's grown on me a lot over the past wee while and I suspect, that whilst he'll always be a polarising figure, he's cultivating quite a few admirers from what was initially a sceptical fan-base.

He wasn't that bad. He made a couple of mistakes, but he looks like a solid signing and doesn't look out of place. Game changed when he came on and they went to a back four. I think he was ok. Not great but ok.
