Insua

[Kenneth]

Come on man that's just facetious. He's learning his trade, he's just having to do it in the full glare of a struggling first team. Ngog is the same age and is learning his trade. Of course 21 is young.

Ngog is 20, about 6 months younger, but fair enough. I just don't accept that his performances are at the level of an up and coming defender of note. There are a thousand of him at clubs up and down the country. There are no signs of potential that make him stand out imo. He can pass a bit and hit hopeful crosses. Takes far more than that.

[Charly]

today he had a worst game ever

ever!

Fair enough. I think we saw enough in those performances initially for the reserves and then for the first team when he first broke through. It's been a gradual decline but I think there are some valid reasons for that. I think he takes up great attacking positions, makes good angles, whips a good cross in and is generally very comfortable going forward. Defensively he looks piss poor at the moment but much of it can be worked on and will improve with a bit more belief and confidence. His lack of pace is the biggest worry for me, along with his inability to turn quicker than an oil tanker.

[Kenneth]

Sure, but you're more reasonable than I am. **** him, he's a cunt.

[Shaggy]

[g.red]

He's got potential and I'd keep him as cover but he desperately needs taking out of the firing line, his confidence and decision-making is shot to pieces.

Absolutely spot on!

The trouble is there no cover for him!

[TheElephantMan]

He isn't very good at defending and he rarely shows anything going forward. Not a good player. We need better if we're going to compete.

[Taxi]

I agree he's not very good at the moment, but hes young enough to develop into a good player. Deserves another season or two.

[JohnOK]

I'd have him as backup. I don't think he is good enough to be consistently in our first XI.

[wiw]

Where the fucj is Aurelio? What's even wrong with him?

for a young lad he is to slow he needs to loose a bit of weight and runs himself into trouble

[Big-Red-Ed]

I know the lad is only young but full back is a position were any weaknesses get exposed. The 2 worst weaknesses being lack of pace and lack of positioning. Unfortunately our Insua has both in spades.

Despite this, I do see some good in the lad, especially going forward but he needs a break for now before any confidence he has left implodes.

[the rev leeroy brown]

truth is insua is not anywhere near good enough. he is overweight, very poor positional wise and slower than a constipated man having a ****. as much as i hate saying it though, without fabio being fit were stuck with him untill summer when hopefully whoever is in charge will recruit a new left back.

[Rich]

I'm afraid I'm through with Insua.... he's cost us terribly for much of the season.
