Clement Lenglet - Confirmed (On Loan)

[Brazilian Villain]

That first goal hw stupidly got disallowed

Defensively he was poor. God i can't wait till mings is back

Given how the rest of the game was reffed that decision looks dodgy as fuck to me.

Yeah, so much for the home team getting the decisions.

[PaulWinch again]

Ref was terrible but that shirt pull is a foul, and a stupid one at that. It was the right decision.

[pauliewalnuts]

Amazing to think, he plays for actual Barcelona.

He doesn't much recently though. Fucked off to Spurs last season where he started 24 matches in a season they let in 63. (Although he was not starting in the 6-1 loss to Newcastle, the 4-1 loss to Leicester or the 4-3 loss to Liverpool).

Well, no, he doesn't when he's on loan, what I meant was - Barcelona actually signed him.

JUST PUT IT IN THE STAND YOU ******!!!!!

but as I said, there were plenty of things he let go later (for example the bailey penalty shout) that were far clearer fouls that were allowed to go. That was my point really, if the ref had bene super strict and given everything I'd have no issue with it but after disallowing that his threshold for free kicks went up maissively (for both teams) from then on.

Probably because he looked decent when younger. His Sevilla side got to the quarters of the CL and his Barca side got to the Semi's but he was part of the defence that let in 4 at anfield in the second leg.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

When did he last play? I assume both Pau and Carlos were both injured?

[SoccerHQ]

He was a last minute squad filler and a good pick up given his top level experience.

He's not as good as Mings or Torres that's clear but he's our 4th choice CB who's played for France and Barca. Go back two years and it was Hause with all due respect to him.

Brain dead.

We seem to get caught over the top quite often when he plays, in a way we don't seem to when Torres does.

[LeeB]

Can you imagine if it was big Tyrone with their winger just after we'd equalised? Ball and player would have been safely dispatched into the upper Witton.

Saw a stat the other day showing our differing win percentages with and without Torres. Notably better with him.

I think he and Martinez are essential to how we play. Certainly missed them last night.

If I never see him again in a Villa shirt, it will be too soon.

Yep, they draw the press and find the pass much more consistently.

How much are we paying this guy again? FML.
