Lucas Digne

[eamonn]

Like his teammates, they're all underperforming and less than the sum of their parts.

[Risso]

That last ditch tackle on Bowen though, that was magnificent.

[SoccerHQ]

He seemed to give up a bit after we went 1 down.

Had the ball down the touchline and he was taking an age to decide to clear it upfield and Rice came charging in and booted it away for a throw in to mass cheers from the away end.

Was defending him last season but he's not been at the races so far.

Benitez knew....mugged off something shocking.

Like watching Neil Taylor again - always looking to come inside and lay it off square

Yes he did very well there, but the rest of the game he was awful.
Maybe it’s the system but did we really need him?

[ROBBO]

Digne is one frustrated player, you can see he's not happy. I think the way his predecessor was treated by Gerrard has had an impact on player morale.

Unlike Taylor, I think this is down to the system. Both Cash and Digne are skillful for fullbacks, but not skillful enough to play as wingers when we are attacking, which is what they are being asked to do. They can't take on teams by themselves, and don't have enough overlap opportunities in our setup.

I think this is one of the many flaws with the 'tactics'. The fullbacks should be a link in the chain to get it to the attackers, not the final destination. I can't imagine having Grealish drop back to provide cover for Targett to constantly get forward.

[Clampy]

My main gripe with him yesterday was him trying to cross the ball in first time. There were a few occasions where he had time to put his foot on the ball before crossing but just swung it over first time and got cleared easily.

[Delboy Villan]

Someone needs to tell Gerrard that Digne is not a winger!! (neither is Cash now)!!

[andyh]

One great saving tackle yesterday.
The rest of the season he’s been awful. I wonder why ?

[Risso]

Add him to the injury list - ankle.

[dr.chekov]

Jaysus, he was only called up to the France squad yesterday, wasn't he?
