2017/18 Cuco Martina

[granter79]

He can't be doing too bad we've let in 1 goal in 4 games since Baines has been injured. I'm by no means saying he's the answer but as he's all we've got till January!

Tested yesterday properly and was an absolute shocking display you would not see on a park on a sunday morning. was embarrassing and im hoping it didn't go unnoticed by the mgmt. Rather see JJ there and lennon at RB till January

Huh?

Is he not dutch ? I thought he was

Is he not dutch ? I thought he was

Well, I suppose technically he is, represents Curacao internationally though.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

I seems a decent enough guy, but a disgrace that he was brought to this club by Koeman. Now our third choice right back is our first choice left back - with nobody to compete with him currently for the spot. Says it all about how unlucky we've been with injuries!

Is that sarcasm BFS? Only needed one injury to our 33 year old left back (Happy Birthday Leighton) for us to be in this mess.

 

[Brendan Janus]

He's no Dave Jones

The thing that stood out wasn't even his shocking defending, it was how slow he chased the attackers or getting back into position. I've never seen so little effort in a defender in a long time. We must have better options at left back.

Connolly is a better footballer than this guy but Koeman didn’t want to know younger players and sent him on loan again.

The one and only good thing about Martina, is that it gives me an enormous sense of well being coming in here at least once a day, to slag him off.

For that I am eternally grateful to him

Bit like McCarthy isn't technically Irish.

 

[davids]

While he's at the club he'll always be a monument to Koemans ineptitude.

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Seriously out of his depth.

 

[MikeH72]

Honestly believe literally any player in the squad could have a go at left back and not do any worse than him.

Its annoying as he is a good athlete who seems to have a load of pace when he can be bothered.

He seems to lose his head too easily.

That said somehow he has been in a back four who has conceded one goal in 3 games.

 

[Ricochet]

He is scary/shocking to watch and very lucky those pokes with the outside of his boot against Salah didn't cost us more goals. I think Salah actually had an off game not to smoke Cuco for more than one goal. Speaking of that, you let a little guy bump you and you fall down. Come on man!
