Monreal: Nacho 2020

[razörist]

Monreal's troubles exist when pacy players attack him. His positioning is elite though, he's usually the guy that intercepts a through ball in a quick transition of play. Also his value in attack is underrated. He's not sexy like Bellerin, but his technique is perfect, and his short passing game is made for wengerball. Great first touch as well. For me, Gibbs has the pace, Monreal has everything else.

His consistency reminds me of Sagna's. And what an assist he did today. Nacho, Nacho man

 

[Penn_]

Neither call on him was a penalty but he does that little barge quite often in the box and does ride his luck at times.

Still no.1 left back, for now...

 

[Sykes]

Need a new LB next season. He's starting to slow down...

Nacho Man was very good today. He was up and down the LW and was back to his reliable self. Good job!

Having AOC doing his job properly surely helps as well.

 

[say yes]

Yep was great today, although didn't have to defend much.

Really promising combinations with the Ox.

He is not the fastest player and has trouble vs pacy wingers but he is technically excellent and reads the game perfectly.

 

[nmn]

The past couple of seasons he was the best defensive left back in Europe, i truly believe that. However, this season he's struggling and being ripped apart by dribblers and fast wingers. Concerning.

 

[Hunta]

We need a new left back. Nacho's legs have gone sadly. We'll no doubt squeeze every drop out of him until he's playing like Flamini though.

 

[Hunter Zolomon]

Monreal needs an understanding CB beside him and a willing RWF in front of him to look good. Been saying it about him for years, back when I thought he was sheight, that he can't be trusted when isolated. That hasn't changed. He's truly awful 1 v 1. He has a good brain and he grew in confidence over time.

lol you were right

bro i dont think he was ever pacy in the first place

he got found out like ivanovic, speed and athleticism is a must if you are to survive as a modern day full back, if you possess neither, sterling and co will continue to have their way with you.

He wasn't, but he's definitely lost a yard this season.

As I said in many other threads, we need to pounce for Gaya before the usual heavyweights go for him. With Valencia troubles this season and their financial worries, we can get him for a reasonable fee

Not sure you can have two tiny FB's in the PL. Would prefer we go back in for Sidibe after he's done well at Monaco.

 

[Jm89]

We need an upgrade on nacho now. He's done well, but it's only down hill from here! We need to be proactive and start looking for a replacement now!

 

[Notorious Big]

He knew how to put him in right position in defence last season,but he lost that balance this year.Also,when some players attack him,he just waves his hands and runs from him like there is stampedo and not one winger ffs.

Yeah I have to agree, as much as I hate to admit it. My man Nacho has not looked nearly as good this year, really seems to have slowed a bit and has been getting beat too often.

Still a better option for us than Gibbs, but a new younger LB either in Jan or the summer is definitely the right move.
