Player Watch: Clément Lenglet

[mark87]

A "fatigued abductor" according to Conte and will miss the Chelsea game.

 

[hughy]

Not ideal by any means, but doesn't seem too serious.

He says it's precaution so as long as no further issues then should all be good

 

[Reece_Spurs]

Not as bothered for the Chelsea game, fully expect Davies to start the tougher games anyway.

Yeah. We need him against teams that sit back

 

[matty74]

He will soon get use to the vigorous conte training sessions I’m sure .

he hardly played last season and has only really been on board a couple of weeks . Probably bound to happen .

Davies has all the experience of a tough London derby and will come in and do a job.

as long as Sanchez ain’t playing LCB

Can he cover at CCB in a 3 do we know or just LCB?

Just with Tanganga staying I’m wondering what the plan is as tangy is unfortunately a fair drop in quality from say Romero or Dier so if Sanchez is out then does Lenglet fill in or will it have to be Tanganga ?

Tanganga RCB Sanchez central i'd guess. Baffling why we're still stockpiling RWBs when centre back depth isn't adequate.

 

[Nodutus]

Let’s give him a chance ASAP. Our ball playing out of our defence was woeful tonight. Deserves a chance over Davies.

Particularly when Romero is out. Would give us a better outlet

The problem isn’t Davies it’s Davison and Emerson

 

[G Ron]

I don’t disagree, but as I just posted in the Conte thread, he needs a few matches to get up to speed before we throw him in up against brutes like Antonio and Mitrovic. I don’t think he’s ready for the physicality they bring just yet.

Yeah but when you know Davinson has to play then you need to compensate for that lack of ability on the ball somehow. Harsh on Davies maybe but you've signed Lenglet for that reason, he's excellent on the ball

 

[h2005]

He’s getting better with every game he doesn’t play.

More sanchez than Emerson imo. Need cuti back ASAP.

Reckon he will play against Marseille

 

[G Ron]

Reckon he will play against Marseille

Yep, I think so too. Makes sense.

how is Sanchez and Emerson responsible for Davies and Dier for that matter giving the ball away time after time??

They’ll give it away because they actually try to take on risky forward passes to break the lines. Dier done it multiple times in the first half. Emerson and Sanchez just go side ways to each other or 5yards into a midfielder
