Toonpack 9431 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Bit harsh that me thinks, been one of our better players this season even though its not saying much. Has flashed some stuff going forward (occasionaly) but defensively (his main job) has not been very good IMO Thought Haidara looked like proper defender (as he got into the game) with some ability going forward, that's the better balance of the skills for the position for me.

Gene_Clark 12 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Massively encouraging debut; shows how the squad is improving & when the needs of Ferguson, Sammy etc need their cards ASAP. If we assume our best XI is -: Krul - Debuchy Yanga-Mbiwa Colo Santon - Tiote Sissoko Cabaye - Ben Arfa Gouffran Cisse This means we can name a bench including - Haidara, Taylor, Anita, Marveaux supported by lesser lights of Elliott with 2 from Shola, Perch, Bigi & Obertan That's 15 top quality players so far. As ever, we need to add a striker in the summer as well as doing the hard bit; keeping the rest of the squad..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's still got loads to learn and doing it when you've got Williamson and Perch as your CBs is probably not the best way to go about it. I think with time he can become a very decent defender. Not sure if we've decided LB is his best position though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Canny debut, but early days yet. I'd like to see him tested by a Premiership team who attack down the wide areas, as Kharkiv didn't offer too much of a threat down the wings.

sniffer 0 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I wouldn't. I doubt he is anywhere near facing a decent premiership winger like Lennon, for example, who'd go past him at will. He's maybe one for the future but he looks like he has a lot to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejon 2 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I wouldn't. I doubt he is anywhere near facing a decent premiership winger like Lennon, for example, who'd go past him at will. He's maybe one for the future but he looks like he has a lot to learn. He was one of the best players on the pitch imo. You make him sound like some youngster who looked okay in spells but generally out of his depth which wasn't the case at all. He would need a bit of time to settle in the Premiership but going off that performance I would have no worries if he had to step in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I was reading In Bed With Maradona's 100 Best Players for 2013 & both Haïdara & Santon made the list. Awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 To be fair I don't think Oxlaide-Chamberlain's rise was entirely predictable & it was heavily aided by a poor run of form from Walcott. They aren't big fans of the premier league anyway I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Apart from his inexperience showing in him getting booked another good performance from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yep. Santon should be looking over his shoulder after his recent performances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4156 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thats the idea of having a strong squad isnt it? The whole defence was excellent today to be honest, even Simpson wasnt half bad. Mbiwa and Haidara(less so) are potentially different class though, what a welcome change from the kind of defenders we've been signing over the years.

Howmanheyman 33245 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Well that's twice I've seen this kid and he doesn't seem out of his depth at all. I hope he keeps at it as I'm impressed so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Was well impressed with him last night like. Getting involved going forward but much more assured at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeris 0 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) Callum McBantheman will face at least a three match ban or more. http://www.telegraph...io-Haidara.html Still no news on the leg and the seriousness of the injury.

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Still waiting for scan results but apparently it might not be as bad as first feared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWalrus 0 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Can't see how it can be anything other than ruptured ligaments. It'll be impossible to tell how truly bad it is until he begins rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2980 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 It could be an impact injury. The med staff should be able to diagnose pretty accurately how bad it is once the scans are in. Apart from that spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I reckon he's just tweaked his knee ligaments and will be fit in a week or two. The club are keeping quiet until McManaman is banned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44900 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 His foot wasn't completely planted, so I guess it's possible that it's not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
