Reguilón’ has ‘big problem’ – suggestion he simply can’t defend, despite being a defender

[mawspurs]

It’s fair to say that Sergio Reguilón’s loan move to Atlético Madrid has not gone how he or Tottenham might have hoped it would. Simeone has considered giving him his chance but has been held back by the Spaniard’s ‘footballing shortcomings’ and the major one is his lack of defensive skills. The club have highlighted how good he is going forwards and can make a difference and contribute a lot but he has a ‘big problem’ when it comes to defending.

No lies detected.

can he play in goal?

 

[rabbikeane]

He's trained with Spurs for a couple of years, of course he's a terrible defender

 

[GutBucket]

And then they get Doherty.

Another quality piece of scouting on our behalf...
A defender that cannot defend or attack.
Is he fast and a good egg though?
Sign him up!

With Porro on the right what can go wrong.

Defending is overrated anyway.

 

[glacierSpurs]

He's still better than Sess and Perisic for me.

He's still better than Sess and Perisic for me.

Would be difficult to be worse.

None of our defenders can defend either. Let's bring him back. He'll fit in perfectly!!

 

[HildoSpur]

He's not great going forwards either...

 

[mdharris]

He was so bad last year, but it’s saying something that he may actually improve us this year ?

 

[newbie]

He had a good first season, his just lost confidence. Personally thought his defending was fine, it was just in the final third

Ah, a story from those reputable chaps at...



Sports Witness? Uh huh...

So what it's sa+COUGH+ So what it's saying is, he hasn't shone there aaand they've recently changed formation... Is this a story or a recap of what's happening? Not sure I get modern "journalism" , it's just another very nothing article that's there to fill inches and I'm not sure what else.
