The times that I have seen him this season he has looked ok. I suspect many trusted the view of our resident Dutch fans over their own eyesight. He's looked solid if not spectacular, apart from the goal, which was Carlosesque.

Besides that utterly brilliant goal, he was the same as he's always been in my opinion: alright but no great shakes. Harsh as it is on the lad I'd probably start Cedric on Monday if he's fit.

 

That goal, though. Best since our promotion?

I'd take a bit of solidly unspectacular right now. Gave the right side good balance.

Is that goal out of the blue/a one off or is he known for having a dig like that?

 

If he can produce a shot like that and have a tidy game like he did today I would be inclined to keep him in the side.

In my top 3 for goals at St Mary's- probably number 1.

 

Osvaldo vs Man City and Lallana vs Hull are my other two- even though both are right ol' cun*s.

 

Bar the goal, played well. He did what a right back should do today.

Wonder goal aside (and what a goal), he doesn't offer enough going forward for the type of game we want to play, with full backs pushing forward.

 

But with Cedric a complete liability at the moment and Yoshida not suited to the role, Cuco's solidity was very welcome.

Defensively he looked pretty decent, only thing I noticed is that he was tending to get drawn towards the middle a bit too much, leaving space out wide.

 

Others covered or he recovered himself each time, so was possibly tactical by Koeman to contest the middle more. In any case, Arsenal weren't able to take advantage of it.

It was a disgustingly good goal. Could watch it again and again. Feel genuinely honoured to have witnessed that goal at St. Mary's tonight, and by God did I celebrate.

Yesterday was the first time I've seen him play and, apart from the wonder-strike, I was genuinely impressed by him. Looked fairly solid and I felt far more comfortable with him at RB than Cedric.

 

Let's give him a run of games and see what happens.

Fair play to Cuco for having the balls to try a shot like that especially from that distance, would like to see us shoot from outside the box more often.

He started the night worried about marking Theo, who turned out to be a shadow of his former self, then popped up to score the goal of the season.

Incredible.

 

Nearly up there with Mane's historic two mins against Villa as an I was there moment.

Posted
Hardly. He knew exactly what he wanted to do and executed it perfectly. Whether he could, or should, try it again is questionable but last night the ball sat up nicely for him.

 

Indeed. You could tell by the way he set himself that he knew what he was doing.

To my old mans a dustman

 

Whoa'ooo Cuco owned the arsenal

He scored from thirty yards

He curled the ball round their defence

And left Cech sat on his arse

Posted

I couldn't see the bend on he shot from my position in central Kingsland but when he had first hit it I thought it was way off target. I was quite surprised to see it hit the side netting, well inside the post.

Posted

He had a good solid game and brings the ability to fill in at centre back to the far post. Cedric lost goal scorers in the last two games Cabaye and Alli by not looking behind. Give him some more games.

Posted

I thought he looked solid and dependable throughout.....and I keep replaying that goal in my mind and on the recordings. I was pleasantly surprised by his performance and think he definitely deserves more game time based on last night.

Did well defensively as well as the wonder goal.

 

Physically looks more of a PL player than Cedric has so far.

 

 

He made a TWO glaring mistakes that on another day could have cost us goals and then he would be getting slated. A poor headed clearance in the first half that lead to a shot on goal and a poor clearance in the second half that also lead to an attempt on goal.

 

He does look more solid and physical than Cedric though so he deserved to keep the shirt. I also hope he improves once match fitness and sharpness come along.

This. On another day he would have been getting absolutely slated if the opposition had taken full advantage. He also several times stood rooted (a la Johnno Quick) not really knowing what to do. He more than made up for this with his attacking play and of course the goal which not only was a beauty but had the effect of lifting the team and restoring their confidence. I don't agree that defensively he is better than Cedric, who apart from his last game against Spuds has been defensively sound for some time now.

apart from going to sleep a few times at the back stick just like he did against spurs. Just they scored from it

against palace and villa that springs to mind
