Player Watch Player Watch: Radu Dragusin

[JamieSpursCommunityUser]

It was poor from Radu, dwelt on it, and made a poor decision to then impede the forward, rather than just let him go. It's instinct I guess, but still a poor decision imo.
But in fairness, the slow lethargic start led to a mistake, and Gray being too far forward at that moment left him isolated when he needed a easy ball across.

Felt for Bergvall, it was more unfortunate for him

 

[SE Spurs]

There is no out ball on the right for him. But looking back at it, I have no idea what he's thinking letting it run across him. Huge mistake. And the rest is just poor decision making.

He doesn’t need one.

Cushioned control forward off his right and he’s shielding the ball with acres off space to carry forward away from the attacker, as Gray has also taken his marker with him.

Cushion it and turn left and he’s shielding the ball to either go back Vic, turn his man, or find and angle to VDV if he drops.

I don’t want to be overly negative but the mistake comes from his limitations on the ball, which they’d obviously done their homework on.

Hopefully he bounces back from this and can improve.

I like him and in a mid block he’d be a monster as his defending is excellent, but I worry about his suitability to a high line possession game.

 

[DannyNZ]

Gray isn’t too far forward. He should expect Dragusin to deal with that easily.

Why let the ball run across his body in the first place? The attacker is running in a straight line. What does the dummy accomplish? Was he gambling on him making a sudden turn to the right?

Bizarre decision. Just control it and pass it on to Gray.

Not being able to read the pace of the pass into him with that distance is alarmingly bad.

Hopefully just a one off that he’ll improve from.

Don’t think it is any more complicated than Dragusin got caught out being Lax.

 

[Shanks]

Pretty much that Danny, he got caught out.

I said to my kids, that the other team being that late will impact us as much as it did the opposition, the preparation is all messed up, the warm up being longer, starting, stopping, starting again - the adrenaline running for too long before the game, does have an impact.

Maybe that played a part, or simply put he just made a mistake.

Either way, feel for him and even more for Bergvall who looked massively gutted about it, but Ang made the right call in my opinion.

Drago seems like Romero to have at least one brain fart in him. Needs to play so these things can be removed from his game (hopefully). Wonder how long he is prepared to be a bit part player ?

Well he doesn't, I don't recall a single foot he has put wrong other than last night.

Our system expose defenders though, Gabriel and Saliba would do similar mistakes playing in our back line, while Romero and Dragusin would be safer in Arsenal's.

 

[Mr Pink]

He has to realise its the first 5 minutes of the game not the last.

So even with the mistake, let him go and run through on goal.

We',,ve the rest of the game to come back and win.

 

[marion52]

He maybe needs a few more games to adjust but its difficult with Romero and VDV in front of him.
Sure he get more games while we are playing midweek virtually every week

Particularly when we have one of the very best shot shoppers in the game in goal, would have been much smarter to chase him hard and back Vicario.

Probably been asked and answered but help a lazy fucker out...is the ban 1 game?

Yes


You lazy fucker

 

[bubble07]

Decison making for a CB is so crucial. Such a poor decision. It's a harsh lesson that will serve him well

 

[fecka]

An absolute brain fart from a young defender, and he paid the price for it. Fortunately, the team didn't.

What matters is that we won, and how he handles this experience moving forward. Hopefully, he uses it as fuel and improves.

 

[tubbygold]

Yes


You lazy fucker

Surely it’s two from a straight red and one from two yellows?

 

[Gassin's finest]

Man, Romero is such a liability at times, we should play Radu instead...


... ah fuck.

That's the spirit!

 

[Gassin's finest]

That's the spirit!

I don't blame either really... we still play an insane high line which leaves the CB's on a hiding to nothing. Look at how often they have to chase after a forward who's just broken through. It's not sustainable. We're lucky that Qarabag couldn't shoot their way out of a carrier bag.

I know what you are saying and I am concerned at the quality of chances we cough up, rather than the number.

But, we won 3-0 down to ten men in Europe so I'm choosing to focus on the positives and hope the negatives get resolved!
