Looked like he was playing as RB :slight_smile:

Having a superb game playing in a back three. Confident tackles and even a couple of decent offensive runs. I haven’t watched him much before but I like what I’ve seen in today’s game.
On a side note, Koscielny off injured early in the game.

Any chance to judge what he’s like in the air.

Havent watched him recently but apparently it is one of his best attributes so i presume he should be quite decent he usually wins almost all of his duels

See I’ve read that he’s weak on that.

Have you…strange who was saying that, i know i can only go on youtube stuff and a couple of matches i have seen him in but he looked really solid on that

Tbf a French journalist on the the radio. Funny most of the footage of seen was on the floor.
Never gave it a thought till he mentioned it.

Our future beating our past. We like to see that!

He looked rather decent in the air, I missed the first 35 minutes so I can’t judge the whole game. But he won all the headers I saw. Seems like he relies much on his strength in 1-on-1’s and he had a few impressive interceptions as well.

I’m glad he is continuing his education at the right environment, far far away from this mess here.

He can come fresh and ready to become the best CB in the world under Mourinho (great call there Jade :poldi:)

Loaning him back is seeming like a masterstroke with each passing week

He should never be exposed to Emeryitis

Who’s the St Etienne coach? See if we can get him in as part of the deal maybe.

Just imagined Saliba making one of those passes around the defender and Xhaka just staring at it as it rolls to the opposition midfielders.

He is a big bastard with some real presence. Like his confidence with forward passing too. Seems to be a good prospect.
