Whereas this aggregator quotes 3 separate reviews of Udogie’s performance who all ranked him 5 - 5.5 out of 10


I just pulled up one of the reviews(skyItalia) - translated:

  • UDOGIE grade 5.5. He is involved in the chaos that leads to the penalty for Venezuela after two minutes. And the mistake stains the performance, which would otherwise be appreciable by force and spirit of initiative. AGGRESSIVE

The Defenders were rated at 4.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6, 6 and even Donnarumma's review had this quote: "With his hands he knows how to do it and you can see it from the penalty saved. With his feet just not, since he forces Udogie to make mistakes in the action of the penalty"


So, I think overall, this sounds like a pretty decent game for Udogie - albeit with room to improve.

Not played today but the looks of it - did he get injured in their game on Thursday?

Looks like he was also playing at wing back. As long as Italy use that system he'll be back up to Dimarco

Fallen off a bit for me, not attacking as well and lazy in defending.

He too often dives in for a tackle he can't win instead of tracking the dribbler.

Fallen off give me a break lol. He’s 21; you can’t expect him to be perfect every game.

He’s already arguably the best left back in the league this season.

The weaknesses he sometimes shown are things that usually get ironed out with more experience/maturity so at 21 not worried at all. He has been a tremendous signing and his potential is huge.

I know their goal was two sets of nutmegs but it all stemmed from him not picking up his runner, pretty poor defending especially when he was then throwing his arms up in the air once he realised his man had got a few yards on him.
It happens, he’ll learn from it

True was a bit slack from him but as you say he’ll learn, also he and Porro must be exhausted, if we had better back-up options and an easier run-in surely they’d be being rested soon as both of them must be running on empty after the amount of games and effort they’ve put in.
