Samuel Umtiti

IMO he we was the worst player against Atletico, playing him in a high line and leaving him with acres of spaces behind him is just asking for trouble because he turns like a boat and lost the majority of his speed, add to that, he can barely cover himself but Valvarde also wants him to cover the spaces Alba leaves when he pushes up the pitch?

You’re just asking for trouble.

I really like Umtiti and his reading of the game is levels above what Lenglet can muster but his legs are gone. Maybe it's the lack of games but he looks out of confidence and somewhat clumsy, especially under pressure. His pace was never a strong point but was decent enough, now he is probably our slowest CB.

Such a shame as he was on course to be the best CB in the world before the injuries started to take its toll.

He sacrificed his legs in the world cup. Since then he has been a completely different player. Much worse.

You can see a glimpse of his intelligence in game reading. But his body does not allow it.

Lenglet is still better than current Shititi imo. We all know he won't recover his old body and form. Would sell him asap in the summer along with Raki, Vidal etc.
