2018/19 Lucas Digne

[buededw1]

Blown away by his attacking game P.

He was dreadful at Barca and Roma going forward but it was clear to see he was solid at the back.

Now, he looks quality going forward.

He was dreadful at Barca and Roma going forward????? did you see him play? he wasn't dreadful at all!! How do you progress to Barca in the first place if your dreadful

Yes mate, I did. That’s why I said it.

C said he was dreadful going forward (not dreadful in his all-round game).

When did he do this?

A EL tie when working as a pundit for Channel 5.

I’m not saying he’s a legend but he clearly wasn’t alone in his thinking at the time.

Also there’s something to be said for speaking your mind when you feel strongly about something rather than the old RS trick of brainwashing everyone. Remember when Emile Heskey was previewing a Spurs v Leicester game and was asked who will win? His reply? Liverpool.

I’m assuming Kevin Ratcliffe, who is undoubtedly a bona fide EFC legend, is equally as unpopular with you due to him also not giving us constant glowing reviews on screen?

I beieve we should see collective responsibility. A player sitting above the pitch in a tv studio telling the watching public that he dodn't know what his team mates out on the pitch were trying to achieve is a self-serving rat.

Now, he looks quality going forward.

He didn’t have to defend much at Barca, he was a virtual winger and did well, but at Roma he was pretty well balanced if I recall. Seemed pretty obvious to me he was good going forward.

That being said, I think part of the issue was that Baines was SO TERRIBLE the last could years, it makes Digne look even better than he really is. I said it at the time, but I think he’s still a bit better than Tierney.

 

[sageyefc]

Don't want to big the lad up unnecessarily, but he's the best leftback in the league.

Again, you miss the point here (you and the others, btw) by a country mile.

Not arsed about assists for the purpose of my question. I'm talking about a cross laid on the head of a player specifically picked out.

The majority of times crossing the ball is not about picking out players, the game happens so fast and the crosser has enough to worry about that they have to trust their teammates to be in the right place.

All a crosser needs to do, as I said, on the majority of occasions, is get it in the right areas. If you do that then you are a good crosser of the ball and that is exactly what Baines gave us, quality balls in the right area.

At this time I do not see any difference in what Digne is doing, getting the ball in the right areas, a few occasions he has swung it around the edge of the 6 yard box trusting the attacking players to be attacking the right area.

 

[everton fan number one]

Feel like I should visit this page every so often to say he's awesome...

I know it’s not Barca but Royston somehow managed to get to Real Madrid .

 

[FTY]

Brilliant signing

Top lad top player

 

[buededw1]

Some achievement for go from dreadful to the standard he is at now. I wo

C said he was dreadful going forward (not dreadful in his all-round game).

I didn't mention his all round game, i was referring to his Att comment. One will be more specific moving forward.

 

[buededw1]

Yes mate, I did. That’s why I said it.

Game of opinions I guess, but to go from dreadful to how his performing now shows some progression.

Hahaha thanks Groucho, I didn't know about that heskey thing before. They definitely have some brainwashing going on over there because they all act like that when they leave. I mean nobody could have predicted them to have gone 5 of the last 6 seasons unbeaten like lawrenson has.
