Elaquim Mangala

[PeterParker]

The thing is this, at this moment, I would not sell either Mangala or Otter. With mistakes, with yellow cards received almost with stupidity, after the filth game, both of them were stellar.

They know each other and managed to become a tight pair.

Mangala seems to have imporved and there may be light at the end of the tunnel.......but as for that fuckign bearded midget , hes fuckign shit and will always be shit as his style is shit!! Ive never seen any defender have so many balls bounce over them time after time after time and dont get me started on his going to ground before he tres to tackle!!...Pep will not tolerate it...thats the one positive which might see him fucked off.

He scares the shit out of me with his propensity to go to ground. Couldn't believe Costa didn't avail of the opportunity to hit the turf on Saturday when he lay down in front of him in the box just before we scored our second.

That said, Manga and Otter have started 11 Prem games together this season. Won 8, drew 1 and lost 2. That would equate to 86 points over the season. Our biggest problem in defence this season was retaining Demi and letting Denayer go out on loan.

Can we have confirmation then that Mangala is the only central defender you like?

[phips]

could he be starting for France at the Euros?

Varane and Laporte (might not have even made it) both out. who partners Koscielny? Mathieu?

[I Just Blue Myself]

Sakho and Zouma out as well. Rotten luck.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Mangala will be one of the stars of the tournament in the winning team.

[Wooders]

He's improving a lot - the comp will do him good as well
Out of him and Otter, I see more scope for improvement with Mangala

I dont..(As in the comp doing him any good).hes a fuckign accident waiting to happen and proves it time and time again.

When a 40 million pound player hoofs the ball into touch when he has seconds to play it forward , then whoever payed 40 odd million for aplayer like that , needs to be sacked.

I wont even talk about his other fuckign failings.

Go on. Name them.

Seems when Mangala is up against a big, powerful forward he relishes the physical battle and he invariably comes out on top.

He certainly didn't allow Costa to bully him

Nor Zlatan. If his decision making improves he will be Kompany's long term replacement. He is still a young centre back who is still learning. You can't teach physical attributes and he had those in spades. You can teach positional awareness, decision making and such like. Let's see what Pep can do with him

And lets not forget he spent half his time covering Kolarov's arse last season.

Like at the start of the season when both of them played together and kept five clean sheets on the trot?

What was his excuse when clichy was playing?

[Fidel Castro]

Mangala shits all over Otter, definitely need to keep him. We should never have signed the bearded Argie, he's shit and a cheating little wimp

In a nutshell. Huge disappointment and soft as shite

Stable partnership at the start of the season, and just like at other points in the season when he was in a stable partnership, he played well and didn't stray out to the left as he did at other times.

They have been named numerous times in match threads, you total and utter thick cunt.

Just when you think hes improving he goes and does something stupid...I dont know ether or not Pep can get him to actually play like a top defender.

I do U turns like any fan when it comes to liking a player or wanting a player , but now the seasons over I wouldnt care less if Mangala was moved on as I cannot see another season of comedy defense.

[DoomMerchant]

Totes agreed mon frere.

Also I don't believe we wanted to sign Otters but Valencia owed us the cash for negredo so we did them a solid and took Otters in exchange.

Too right - he was voted Spains top defender if memory serves me right....since coming to us hes either been coached wrong or he has just turned to shit like has happened to so many players.
