Player Watch Player Watch: Radu Dragusin

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Enter the Dragusin

Enter the Dieragusin.

 

[jondy1]

Exactly .. I’ve seen an oil tanker turn quicker than that, hopefully it’s a fitness issue

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Not a classic full debut, and positioning wasn’t great — but thought he was left in all kinds of trouble by the midfield. Too easy for Fulham to bypass Bissouma and then isolate the wider spaces with the full backs pushed up. He was always going to struggle.

 

[cjbyid]

First start in the PL and getting pelters.

This fanbase sometimes......

 

[DiVaio]

His ball playing is absolutely awful - massive downgrade from Romero and would actually be big problem for us IMO

Well well well. He's also struggling defensively and amazingly his 1st start also coincides with the worst defensive performance of the season.

It's 4,6 xG conceded in 150 minutes when Dragusin was at the pitch lol

 

[CookieYiddo]

Was he poor? Yes but so was everyone, every last player in the shirt. I can’t be too angry at him based solely on today

 

[jonnyp]

He is not VdV and so we shouldn't try and play like VdV is on the pitch. Not his fault.

He wasn't worse than anyone else in that back 4.

 

[only1waddle]

Enter the Dieragusin.

Oh look, it's Meaty knee jerking like a child again...

He most certainly was.

 

[Stamford]

He wasn't great but we need to give him time. He's been thrust into the team and deserves a run of games. Today isn't fun but we shouldn't get on his case at all

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

He doesn't fill me with a huge amount of confidence, but its early days I suppose.. Is he any better than Phillips or Dorrington?

 

[NEVILLEB]

Miles out of position for opening goal.

But it’s a first start so will give him time

 

[jonnyp]

He most certainly was.

How was he worse than say Udogie who was MIA both in defense and attack all game?

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Probably.

 

[alfiemacdaddy]

Fukin hell give the guy a break. He’s 22 starting his first game in the PL. remember how woeful porro looked on his debut and look at him now! Not every player performs from their first game!

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

How was he worse than say Udogie who was MIA both in defense and attack all game?

Udogie single-handedly created our first decent chance of the game when Son put it over the crossbar.

 

[only1waddle]

Don't learn do we, Porro was getting pelters early on and look at him now.
Our fanbase are pricks at times

One involvement going forward is all you could muster up? Time and time again he was out of position defensively, nowhere to be seen. How about addressing that? He wasn't exactly helping Dragusin out there, was he?

 

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

First half I thought he was fine. Bringing the ball forward well, good on set plays. The goal maybe he got caught on wrong side but happens with the way we play to most of ours. Has to be said Udogie didn’t really give much support.

If he was out of position defensively, you can blame Ange for that. I’ve already said I think it’s suicidal what he expects of Udogie and Porro. Dragusin was signed because the club obviously felt he could cover for them defensively. He can’t.
