Diego Carlos

[Footy-Vill]

I can see Carlos in the defence against Sheffield United be it a back 3 or Konsa at right back.
Carlos is needed to deal with the aggressive McBurnie.

Another excellent point from you there Footy though McBurnie wasnt playing Carlos was all over their forward in the first minutes to make/ mark a point (they got a free kick in a not dangerous position). I think our defence look better / more assured with his aggression. He has some pace too hasnt he? As mentioned here he does the occasionally loosing head but so did/ does Tyrone without loosing his place in the team.

Yes but he needs to be as tight on opposition forwards as his shorts are on his bum😀

Yes he seems to close them down, close as in close that is  I think the balance in defence seems about right with Konsa , Carlos and Lenglet / Pau

[Footy-Vill]

Ponderous on ball and rather ill disciplined. Yellow carded.
It wasn't his greatest performance against Chelsea.

[eamonn]

Not good enough for where we're trying to get to.

[Astnor]

I think he is ok. He is not the problem IMO.

[Risso]

He's poor. Obviously not his fault our best three central defenders are injured, but he's nowhere near good enough. Wasn't as bad as Moreno though, that bloke has been fucking awful.

[nick harper]

Ponderous, and always seems to be a red card waiting to happen

I think I agree with this take.

I never feel comfortable watching him play, for one of their goals he made a badly positioned, half-hearted pretend attempt to clear the ball. It's just not good enough. I am not sure what it is that he does that he does well enough for us.

Torres and Konsa - definitely good enough. I'd even go as far as to wonder whether Lenglet is better than Carlos. That's how bad he is.

As a 4th or 5th choice he's fine. Problem is that we're having to play our 4th and 5th choices so much now.

I think that's definitely the problem. Him and Lenglet have no pace at all forcing us give the opposition way too much space.

[pauliewalnuts]

The obvious problem there is that, even if he is fine as a 4th or 5th choice, we paid 25m+ for him.

Torres also does not have much pace, but he more than compensates for it by his intelligence and his use of the ball coming forward.

Carlos just looks brainless to me. A 'throw a brick at me and I'll at least try to head it out' style player in a league where nobody really wants that type of player any more.

Id seriously cash in. He is very average
