Player Watch - Sergio Reguilón (Brentford)

[Timberwolf]

seen him a few times this season and looks quality. tenacity reminds me of rose, but a better player.

Rose was a great LB at his best but off the top of my head I can't recall any memorable crosses where he picked out his man in the box with an accurate cross.

I'm sure he did a few over the years but it certainly wasn't a strong part of his game while Reguilon has already got 3 fantastic assists in like 7(?) starts.

Aurier does it every now and then but usually has to make about 30 terrible crosses for every peach he's put onto Kane's forehead.

And certainly not with his right foot !

Given the quality of crosses over the past season or so our strikers will be looking at them as UFOs often talked about but seldom seen

Its not just us though. In general the quality of crosses in the PL is woeful.
I've said before surely the guy taking the cross from a freekick or a corner is the best out of the players available so that begs the question how fkin bad is everbody else and how can it be worse than not leaving the floor, repeatedly hitting the first man or sky rocketing it over the head of everyone.
Its really not the most difficult skill to master is it!
You see better crosses down the park on a Sunday than some in the PL.
Apologies for going off tangent, pun intended.

I call it a cross

Because it makes you angry?

physioroom.com has Reguilon out until 29/11 must be one serious illness!

 

[philll]

Me too, Sergio. Me too.

Sergio just provided a fantastic low cross in the 89th minute for Moreno to score an equaliser for Spain against Switzerland.

Ramos missed two penalties.

 

[TheTanguy]

I knew he had pace, but didn't expect him to be extremely pacey when he arrived, must be one of the fastest defenders (or even players) in the league.

 

[asianspur]

Reg seems like a complete full back.. pace, tracking back, tenacious, gold attacking sense in scoring and crossing.. Such a difference to our team once he started prpvidong width and quality crosses from the start of fhis season

Lampty is a good player on the right.. Best player on the pitch when we played Brighton... Only thing is do u guys think Mou would ever go for a short player in a defensive position? His height aside smashing player and would complete our fullback position with Reg

Not starting or on the bench. Hope someone can tell me he is suspended.

 

[GioW]

Yep so hope I'm wrong but he must be injured?!

 

[Mattspur]

He wasn’t booked in the last match so must be an injury.

 

[Monkey boy]

Or he might just be rested after playing the last two games.

Rested would mean on the bench I would have thought. Vibe on Twitter from the Spanish seems to be he has just been left out . Definitely sounds like he's in the stands.

Maybe did something naughty? Or a precaution?

 

[Shadydan]

I think he was fucking amazing tonight, really really good.

I think he was fucking amazing tonight, really really good.

Was there an outfield player out there tonight who didn't put in arguably their strongest performance for us tonight? If not certainly in the top5 performances for each player. Superb.

 

[beats1]

Im not sold on him because I know he's gonna break my heart and go to Real Madrid in the summer

 

[bubble07]

Was excellent but he does slightly over comit to tackles and runs forward. Just need to be careful. But he is so rapid

 

[TheTanguy]

An absolute bargain for £27m
