the wes 7,212 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 i have being watching the under21's football the last two weeks Mancienne look crap at centre-back when he plays right-back for Chelsea he looks a better player at right-back....

Marc 0 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Looks a bit too light-weight to make it as a Centreback primarily in the Prem, would be better at Rightback I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 He's a centre back!!! I would judge Mancienne entire ability based on 1 tournament..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would judge Mancienne entire ability based on 1 tournament..... a stronger player like Kevin Davies would made Mancienne look like a wee boy.....

chrismada9 1,948 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I think his best position is a centreback really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I think basicially he can play any defense role... I think of JT as a new Desailly concerning Mance ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo 1,729 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 hes fast enough to be suited as a RB and not strong enough to be a CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 From what I have seen of Mancienne for England-U21 and the Blues reserves; he isn't strong enough to be a centre-back in my opinion; he'd get bullied by a physical striker in the Tevez mold.

5354 204 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 We can always train up or bulk him up to become a strong CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alee. 182 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 We can always train up or bulk him up to become a strong CB. Why build a CB if you have a built RB ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 He looked strong today in the final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Agreed, he was one of the better players for England this evening. I think he is a very athletic centre back with a good reading of the game, but we saw him bombing forward so often in tonight's game - I think he'd be lethal as a right-back.

diskoviolente 425 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 True, reminded me of JT tbh when the situation in the game is fucked and you need to have players going forward and causing trouble. He really was one of the better players yesterday. Milner looked good as well, where is he playing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Milner's playing at Villa at the moment. I've always liked him, but I don't think his form is consistent enough to move to a club like Chelsea. Still a good player though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 it should be boswinga ----- terry ----- mancienne ------ a.cole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Is absoluty a need that maccien most Stay at Chelsea... We need all the help we need, and we should be playing in the Carling Cup as a Regular. We need to give oportunited to the other player.

bombayblue™ 55 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Haven't seen much of him tbh would personally let Carlo decide.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 it should be boswinga ----- terry ----- mancienne ------ a.cole No way on earth is Mancienne as good as Alex or Ivanovic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 ^ this is why man-u,milan, barca etc develop the biggest prospects in football and we dont because instead of giving young players a chance we dont want to take the risk of actually putting them in the first team.

diskoviolente 425 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I think he can start in the Carling Cup and the FA Cup but for a day-in day-out basis he is too unexperienced i think and we can´t afford too much lost games, thats why in the league and CL Alex is the defender alongside JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
