2019/20 Lucas Digne

[TheBigIguana]

I don't understand why Bernard has been dropped so often. Him and Digne linking up was one of the best aspects of our play last season.

The thing that people seem to have missed last year is that most of our success was due to a top level defense. The attack was average. The spearheads for that defense were Gana and Zouma. They're gone and in it's place is a less good defense and a still average attack. So he's been in and out because we are searching for more now that we aren't grinding out results as much.

We’ve finally brought Digne down to our level.
He will be gone in the summer if we don’t improve.

He needs a real midfield to link with. Still an excellent ball player even when the crossing is a bit off. Asking him to defend a ton isn't his game.

Names mentioned for confronting CA sunday were Delph and Digne

he had a great season last year, has his own song - big wow, he needs to start stepping himself up this season

There are people on here think he is better than peak Baines.....and voted accordin when we had a Poll

 

[Blue Sky]

I know this is ludicrous but does anyone think the fact he has a newborn since the start of the season has affected his performance..

Could be certainly not the same player , everything he does goes wrong and he is fouling a lot as he is getting caught out .

 

[14towestham]

Poeple commentin on his below par delivery this season, the fact he has nevet been a great `defender'. He seems to do everything in too much of a hurry.
Lacks all the composure and field IQ of Baines.

And, he is still one of our best players.

Shows you how deluded so many of our fanbase has been regarding the ability of this squad.

Was better today with his mate in front of him

Was better today with his mate in front of him

He was. Still, seems to be carrying an injury. Just wonder if Baines stepping in for a game or two to give him a rest wouldn't be the worst thing.

 

[maccavennie]

Looked better going forward

 

[paulbefc]

Good technical player, which no doubt has value in the modern game, but he's also a liability defensively, sadly.

 

[DaChunk]

Look a lot better with Bernard ahead of him. But I want to have Bernard as a number 10 really so he's going to need to keep this level with somone else ahead

 

[KaiserEFC]

Better today actually

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Best game in ages. Lovely to see him and Bernie reunited and loving it.

Yep.

Definately held his leg a couple of times in the second half before going off. Was a big improvement from him, no surprise that lil Bernie on the left drifting into the pockets of space, dragging players in leaving Digne some space to work in!
