Player Watch: Juan Foyth

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Those saying Foyth isn't any good going forward are forgetting he started out as an attacking midfielder. His passing is very good and he has reasonable delivery. His passing technique and decision making will make up for the lack pace in the same way it does for Vertonghen.
Playing at RB will also help him for when he plays right side of a back three.

He is also actually pretty fast. Just looks slower than he is because of a long stride pattern.

Dembele started out as a striker, but a goal scorer he was not

I watched him for Argentina recently and there was a move where Argentina were 1-0 up late on and broke from deep (quite possibly from defending a corner but i can't remember). Anyway, point being that i saw this figure galloping through on the middle to far side of the pitch, and thought 'blimey that Lo Celso is quick'....turns out it was Foyth ! So i'd definitely agree with you, may not be lightening off the blocks but in full stride plenty quick enough.

Foyth getting ripped to bits here

Square peg.

Round hole.

 

[nedley]

Foyth looks fucked

 

[Littleharry]

He concerns the fuck out of me

 

[SlotBadger]

Injured and limped off. Our RB options grow stronger each day

 

[Kiedis]

Hamstring? See ya after the national break, probably.

Achilles I think, he wasn’t looking to clever before the injury

 

[Hotspur88]

We have to remember he is suspended for the first two games anyway so I guess he will be fit by the time he's available.

 

[Yiddo100]

Walking off so hopefully not that bad, he’s got two weeks off anyway

Not walking anymore, lazy shit

 

[CrouchPotato]

Oh for Foythsakes

 

[Kiedis]

Whoops. International break in november, maybe?

 

[mark87]

Sissoko injured now. So stupid having to play twice in two days.

Achilles is practically season ending

How the hell did we end up here. 3 years ago Walker and Rose were arguably the best pair of FBs in the league. How would you rate our current choices? 7-8 in the league?

 

[Yiddo100]

Nice to see the SC doctors are coming out again

Definitely looks like Achilles I ruptured mine and took a year to get right :-(
