LAM09 7,067 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Cucu is such a liability defensively. Hairstyle aside, he reminds me of Luiz but lacks his ability on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1988 1,351 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) We’ve bossed the game and hit like that, it’s preseason and nobody here is surprised it’s Cucu that gets us done, again. Edited July 27, 2023 by DH1988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is more of a scorer, final 3rd player. Would not expect a lot of buildup from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,351 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Considering Newcastle and where they are, very pleased with how we’ve shaped up. Negatives are Enzo is a touch rough, Cucu being Cucu and our pressing is lacking more so than other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,977 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Enzo has been good on the ball as you’d expect but clearly isn’t up to pace defensively yet. A couple of times Newcastle players just ran past him quite easily. Embarrassing defending from Cucu aside, that’s the sort of move that should’ve been cut out in midfield before it even reached him. Caicedo or a proper DM would’ve dealt with that easily. Anyways, lots of positives there. But what I would really like to start seeing is more composed, deliberate build up in possession. We look great in the counter but not so much at building. Both Brighton and Newcastle in each first half have used the ball better than we have. Lots of passing moves and combinations. Hope we can put it down to a bunch of new players, new manager, and new system. But we need some serious training hours to get better in possession.

ZAPHOD2319 4,822 Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 Cucu really screwed the pooch. Miggy scoring back in Atlanta was deafening in here. Vesper, DH1988 and Strike 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,977 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I’ve been one of the few (maybe the only?) one here advocating for Cucu to stay one more season to see if he can turn his fortunes around. But damn does he make a lot of David Luiz like errors. Now that we’ve seen Maatsen firsthand maybe we should cut our losses and sell. If we can find a buyer, this is. He AND Kepa who is also prone to brain farts in defense is a recipe for disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guddy69 174 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) we were better against Brighton, hopefully Poch will work.it out. Our quick attacking was lovely last game Edited July 27, 2023 by guddy69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,151 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Very impressed. Would of like to seen a bit more from Nkunku. Jackson so impressive and explosive. Gordon has looked their biggest threat so far. He has looked good. But happy with what I have seen so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
