Cedric Soares

He has talent but he is so timid of things start going bad

Yeah, to be fair to him, he did improve as the game went on.

He’s still shit though.

Has been really decent this season.
Justified the decision to keep him around

He’s always been decent. His transfer and Mari’s transfer should never be put on the same level.

Massive performance from him barring that stupid backpass near the end.
Also, big shane we don’t have players that can take advantage of those crosses he put in the box.

Not massive in the second half that’s for sure. He was suspect defensively, started to get weaker as the game wore on.

The best and worst of Cedric on show today. Good first half, not so good second half.

I liked him defensively. I think he was the best out of our defensive line. Perhaps that’s it though. Everyone was so bad Cedric looked good.

Not to be a Debbie downer on an otherwise good performance but this guy can’t defend very well at all. He’s our biggest weakness right now

I honestly think he’s been alright tbh, doing exactly what you would expect of a 2nd choice RB and probably putting in as good of performances as some of our recent first choices before Tomiyasu came in.

He’ll get smoked on Wednesday night though which will be unfortunate.

He’s absolutely serviceable as a second choice option. It’s quite wishful thinking to want a back up RB as solid as Tomiyasu.

It’s just when your back up has a pretty prolonged spell it can be worrying. Felt like Leicester targeted him a lot and he was beaten quite often

Yeh I get that you mean though when you’re winning the games and keeping clean sheets it makes it easier. I actually think Tierney has been worse than him recently though he did turn up today.

Either way we need both our fullbacks to be absolutely on it on Wed night. Kind of worried now that we’re talking about them lol

He is obviously not good enough to start but he is better than most of the previous second choice RB’s we’ve had.

Unless Tomiyasu is going to be a liability because of his injuries, buying a RB in the next window isn’t really a priority for Arteta.

He’s bang average but is being lifted by the great form of the whole team as a collective. Still needs upgrading asap.

Considering the list of other priorities I don’t see it happening.

If we don’t sign Laca, that’s two strikers & a midfielder which will consume a lot of time.

I hope we are also interested in a winger.

He’s okay. Decent as a back up but not someone I want to see in the team on a regular basis

Bang average player but he isn’t full :clown_face: mode like Kola, Mustafi and Lichsteiner when we had him.

Good pro and solid backup option. But yeah, he and Tierney are the weak links going into the Liverpool game.

We really can’t afford to play this guy regularly.

Get him out Sharon

Still a decent backup RB. Trent got beaten more we just couldn’t punish them.

He’s really not.

Why did Southampton let him go lol.

I’d take any of there current full backs as backup
