Dear All,
This has been a very long time since I last posted on sc.
There are more and more discussions topics about “next season”.
The players on their way out of the club. The things to improve (our defense-back 4).
I didn’t watched many spurs games this season even if I saw many “highlights” of Spurs games.
That’s why I have paid special attention to the “Ratings” topics that have followed each game.
Most comments are very interesting and this allows us to get a rather clear idea of the way the players performed.
There is no consensus in the sc website about the performances of some “1st team ”players. (or at least on the players who are regularly playing). (Vertonghen, Dier, Fazio, Bentaleb, Mason, Chadli, Lamela, Townsend).
We can understand the arguments of people who have been pleased or disappointed by the performances of these players. As it appears that these players have sometimes performed well and sometimes they have performed badly this season 2014-2015.
There is consensus in the sc website about the performances of some “1 st teamers” who have performed rather well or very well this season. (Lloris, Eriksen, Kane or even Rose).
It seems there is a consensus in the sc website on some players that almost never play.
Soldado: seems to be a good guy and a good player but his english nightmare will be soon finished.
Adebayor. I won’t comment more but it seems that we all finally see the obvious.
And hopefully, they almost never played (Soldado) or never play (Adebayor).
But I want to speak here about the right back position. I don’t want to develop too much about the critics to Kyle Walker. It seems there is a general consensus on Kyle Walkers’ performances.
They are bad and sometimes terrible.
He used to be very good (imo) to start counter-attacks but that is less and less the case.
An even if he can launch an attack on the right side, this is pointless as his attack will end with a cross intercepted by the opposite defense.
And I am glad most of you have finally opened their eyes about the terrible defending of Kyle Walker.
(I won’t discuss why on here as there are already many subjects about this on sc).
But I am wondering what THFC talent scouts have been paid for.
More and more of us have been aware of Walker’s limited defensive skills for several years now.
We don’t need the best right back on the world; we just need a right back who can defend. Walker unfortunately can’t do that.
Some of you will consider me obtuse (dull) but even if football is a collective work, forwards must focus on the attacking work, midfielders must try to “control” the middle of the pitch and defenders must first prevent others teams to score.
It is almost impossible to achieve Top 4 when you concede an average 1.5 goal per game….
Amongst the 5 players that have played regularly on the back 4, this season Rose at LB – Verts-Fazio- Dier for the 2 CB spots and Walker at RB, only Rose at LB seems to have played regularly to a good level.
Fazio and Dier have both looked very average with both of them making stupid mistakes that can’t be tolerated to such a level. These stupid mistakes can’t be tolerated in a team and in a club trying to habe better results.
Even if Dier seems to be better lately. I
I will now speak about a player some of you may know and is current Stade de Reims right back.
His name is Aissa Mandi.
Aissa Mandi was born in 1991 in Châlons en Champagne in the Department of Marne (F-51). Chalons is located 50 kil south of Reims.
Most of you going on holidays in the south of France (or anywhere in the east of France) probably know where Reims and Chalons are located. Indeed, these 2 cities are alongside the A26 french highway more commonly known as “l’autoroute des Anglais” – “ the highway of English people”.
A26 highway runs between Calais – Lille – St Quentin – Reims – Chalons and Troyes.
As for me, my family lives in Pontarlier (F-25) close to Swizerland and I also drive from south to north on the A26 highway each time I drive to Reims to see a game.
I support Reims for family reasons.
When I see all the English people driving on their way back to UK with their family, I wish some of them being spurs fans and to decide to make a stop for the night in Reims.
And that he / she / they would decide to go to the Stade Delaune to see Mandi playing.
As usual, this will be a very long post from me (feel free to read it or not).
