Where was he going for that first goal?

 

[Robbie Boy]

Better than Maguire, but wasn't too good whatsoever.

Very poor decision to step up. Maz was clearly deeper so stepping up took himself out of the move

 

[criticalanalysis]

So poor on the ball in the first half with his passing and giving himself as an option. Was a bit more aggressive than his usual showings defensively in the RCB position but nothing close to what we've seen Mazraoui do there.

Upped the tempo with some crisp passing late in the second but too little too late. Always happens with him. He's capable but plays like a 90's style defender in the beginning. Clearing the ball, no composure on it and very awkward.

Good box defender and puts his body on the line but doesn't fill with me confidence at RCB or CCB tbh.

Trying to play Brighton offside together with 3 out of the 4 other defenders?

I think that about a lot of defensive plays he has….
He’s so painfully average at everything he does.
Fair play to those who ran down this signing before we made it. they’ve been proven emphatically right.

 

[Stadjer]

I believe he had one or two balls over the Brighton left back towards Amad/Maz?

Other than that he defended okay but didnt offer much else. The best out of a bad bunch of defenders today.

I still hope he will become the central central defender. I dont like him as a right central defender that much. Although i can understand that he plays right centre back now since Maguire has been doing fairly well and is even more of an inmobile risk as wide centre back.

Basically Maguire all over again.

 

[Bobski]

He is probably best as a stopper alongside a mobile ball playing CB in a 2, but then who isn't?

So he had no awareness of where his rightback was, clearly playing the attacker onside and making offside impossible

Him stepping up and thereby opening up space behind him was an issue at Bayern as well.

 

[GueRed]

He's just overrated by the fanbase

So far this season he's had some solid games and a few poor games.

Overall he has been ok

Not the world class signing he has been hyped up to be yet

You could argue Maguire has been miles better than him this season

He has but it's no real argument for anyone that has watched them without an agenda. Maguire has been one of our best players, only behind Amad.
