Player Watch Player Watch: Destiny Udogie

[chas vs dave]

Very good player, however he was playing in front of me. On a few occasions, he didn't track the man off the 1-2. He managed to react, but he needs to be a little bit more proactive.

Still a very, very good player.

Yeah good player but needs to work on his use of asterisks

 

[bubble07]

This guy is phenomenal

Has to be best left back in the league

We have gone from having a shocking left back to the best

Got into trouble a couple of times yesterday, literally just a couple of times, due to the way their players battled and kept at him when he had the ball, instead of just putting it out or passing it he tried to keep it and turn. It might be the first time this season he's had that hassle but he's young and he'll learn and I am being exceptionally picky because I think he's the real deal and some.

 

[Kirito]

He’s been a contributor for many of our goals this season, including the winner yesterday. One of the best players in the prem this season so far

Yep.

The only criticism is that he is reactive, rather than proactive. Similar to Kyle Walker when he was young. It's a byproduct of having pace and being reliant on it.

This was one of the weaknesses I picked up watching him for Udinese last season.

I’m not too concerned though, he’s incredibly young and he seems to have a really good football IQ so I’m confident he will improve in this area.

Kyle Walker did similar for years, he's arguably been the best rb in English football in a long time.

kid is special, always had a soft spot for our LB's

this kid might one day overtake my 2nd fav player of all time BAE

 

[Frank Blank]

And this completely sums it up - case in point being the lead-up to the second goal in last Saturday's game.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Not surprised by this at all. He really makes his presence felt all the way up that side. Great player

I know right... How long since we have such a young player that is playing like a star, like how we always envy Citeh or Liverpool, and this season alone we have 3 together with VdV and Sarr!

Him v Saka is gonna be mega

Him v Saka is gonna be mega

Hopefully he just swamps him. Bigger, stronger, and as quick. Saka not been great so far this season either.
