Lucas Digne

[Risso]

Digne is just a better player than Moreno. Moreno is similar to Cash in his ability to go forward, but is a below average defender.

[AV82EC]

I’d go with Digne for the Ajax game then bring Moreno in for the Spurs game. We’ve got a squad we need to use it and there’s no major drop off in quality between the two.

Yes that's what I think and I also think Emery will do this.
Digne did show great attacking thrust for his goal today and can be rewarded Thursday but I like to start Moreno next Sunday.
Digne picks up cheap bookings and besides either player will be subbed so be given time.
Quite right about squad utilising

I think that’s a fair assessment.

Right now yeah, probably (but they're different enough in style for it to not be that simple) but Moreno at his best has been better for us than Digne at his best, lets not forget that most of the opposition to letting Digne leave in th esummer was about lack of depth not that we'd be selling our best left back.

[rob_bridge]

Moreno and Ramsey fit are a brilliant combo

Dinge done very well this season overall.

Digne hadn’t hit the level he has (with us) when it was being debated in the summer.

Well yes, that's why right now he's probably the better player, as I said.

So the real question is was Digne better, before his injury, that Moreno was before his last season? My point is that I think That spell from Moreno, with a fit JJ in front of him, is the best we've seen from a left back for a very long time and led to a lot of people being very worried about his injury. Digne has done a lot better than most expected since but I don't think it's accurate to suggest he's "just a better player than Moreno", that's all I was saying.

I'd say Digne is maybe the better defensive, more solid player out the two. Moreno is great, he offers us an alternative way of  playing possibly.

I think Moreno and Digne as left back options is an excellent situation to have.

Right back, not looking as good.

Yep, I agree, as I said they're very different players. I was actually really impressed with Digne for the goal because he snuck into the box in the way Moreno does, which is something he's clearly been coached to do.

[Footy-Vill]

Moreno was an Emery buy. He understands Emery game plan and suits the style.
Digne is also very good but is not an Emery purchase.
Moreno was bought and replaced Digne.
Digne only plays because Moreno was injured.
Moreno was up to fitness he's been first choice again this season

Digne scored on Emery first match in charge and hadn't score since today.
In the meantime Moreno has threatened to score pretty much every game he's been in this season and scored 2 and 2 disallowed.

The Spain card will be favoured is my view. It was telling Emery ranting at Digne last week and also instructing him this week when coming on.  And he scored. That credit goes to Emery. Moreno naturally gets in those positions and that's what el Mastero wants from his left back.
Come on Digne was going to be sold on in the summer window so Emery favours Moreno all the signs are there.

Yep agreed, why I think when he’s in top form Moreno, whilst not the best defensively, is better when it comes to defence than he has been showing of late.

[darren woolley]

I'm so pleased he scored my nerves couldn't take anymore.

[geolex]

Isnt it nice to be in a position where we can debate which LB should start  and not be at all worried as to which one is selected
