Yeah but what you’re saying is elementary and known and how he won so many over who doubted him when he first got here. It doesn’t stand for anything when not on display, however, and that’s where we’ve mostly been with him post-injury to the point of legitimate concern and him being a liability on the defensive end, especially in a 3-man defence. When he’s playing as he was, he’s not one I want to see on the team sheet because the margins for him are so fine due to his physical limitations.
I’m not one who called him Rojo or Heinze; I would say I offer a fair critique that I am happy to defend or have contested. If this were his there or thereabouts, I’d have no problem saying so in here. I actually want him to do well, and you will mostly see posts that support that, but burying one’s head in the sand for players you like is not being objective.
It would be elementary if he just was a defender in the Venezuelan League, yet him being in the NT, having those great years in Argentina and teh Dutch League and really great matches in England, it stands for more than that.
More than limitations, timing is everything in life, if everytime he was coming back he fell with another injury and in the meantime coaches still experiment with the side, anyones game will suffer.
This won't convert him in Passarella and everything around him shyte instead of him, yet neither he forgot how to play or suddenly be so shyte or having essentially as a player a bad reading.
I never put you on the troll bandwagon, far form it, yet after reading so much about his reading, I do think it's quite a bit extreme, more in his case that he needs that more than other players in his position.
PD:
The way United, even today, defends his flank, from the forwards to the mid, it's suicidal, if we combine this with him still not in his best form, with his traits including bad ones and the easy target he has been since day one even from the Press, it's a bad combination.
Yet if actually someone put his brain on analyzing some of his mistakes, not few of them came after a domino of them. Today in fact there were many of those mistakes, but he played extremely agressive and he got the best of the great majority of plays, but he could have been severly punished and trashed if some of those late tackles or anticipations didn't work. Amorin MUST solve this, if not no matter who plas as CB on his flank, he'll suffer.
Just take a time to watch this last game, you'll see on the bad side of the coin, some bad or mild clearences from him, yet mostly too many times he had to play to the limit to avoid some huge dammage, included the anticipation of the goal and quite many crucial last stance ditches due to United being extremely exposed...and this demanded?: great reading, aside technical ability to snatch or pass the ball.
The good thing from this match, it's that even doing some mistakes as a team, everyone looked more agressive, more calm with the ball and really focus on the gameplan, in such way neither of the defenders will suffer as much as they have suffer, yet still is a team that will expose quite a lot his backline.
