Samuel Umtiti

Just look how good he used to be:

Athletic, fast, winning almost every header. Great anticipation and aggressive defending. Very good ball control and passing with vision.

Look at him now. He literally runs with one knee.

 

[jamrock]

He was solid today

 

[Jallo]

Today he he put in one of his best performances in a long time. His pass to Messi for the assist was something special. I know he basically has no knees but I don’t like when he just gives the attack all kinds of space.

 

[Richard.H]

Even with no knees he is still a pretty good CB. People are just way too harsh on him in this forum. Cut it out lads.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

He is very smart. He would be world class without those knee issues.

 

[DonAK]

Yeah, but he's not worth keeping because he's unreliable. Might be gone for weeks if not months at anytime.

 

[FCBarca]

He is very smart. He would be world class without those knee issues.

He's done, has to be cut loose this summer

 

[Marshall D Teach]

Thought he did ok.

 

[te amo barca]

Wasn’t much work for him tbh.

 

[wisconsincule]

Wish he would have buried the corner.

 

[vuji_31]

He was decent. More reliable then Lenglet .
What is with his knee? I know that he was injured for long time ago, but isnt that behind him?

No that’s his backside..


We should have offloaded him years ago

 

[ZenI]

Whatever. We maybe should have offloaded him years ago - but we didn't and now he plays more than ok and we have other parts of the team that needs strengthening. Against Napoli he was very good imo, one of our best players

 

[Andresito]

He's not bad, about the same level as Lenglet. Unfortunately I don't think either one of them will improve much. I highly doubt Umtiti will reach his peak again.

Both of them are great 3rd CB's, able to come in and cover without too many issues. But they aren't reliable enough to be starters for a CL aspiring team.

Umtiti looked pretty good in every match he played this season, but I cant bring myself to trust him anymore. Something just seems off.
