i like the kid. he is more than good going forward. he is a little weak wean defending but he is young and he can learn to defend properly. he can learn how to use his pace to cover his defending mistakes.

the great about the kid is that he gives his heart in every game. something you can't find easily. many times this year, the kid was the only reason that our defense contributed to the attacking part...

forza martin...

I honestly dont think Rafinha is any better than him anyways.

 

[Showdown25]

Me neither. Rafinha is also the epitome of unprofessional.

I love how people just write Caceres off at CB when the vast majority of them have never seen him play there. That's the position he made his name playing. RB and CB require very different tasks that the player must perform also.

Don't write him off because he's very talented at Cb and also a very capable Rb as he has shown us.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I don't want him as a CB either. His pace is suited to the sides.



Bit over the top.

He's no better than Grygera in defending.

Like Molinaro?

Like Molinaro?

the one just gave his heart but couldn't dribble or cross, the other gives his heart and knows how to cross, to dribble and to shoot...

and caceres has brain in his head...

Most importantly, he doesn't defend well and that's his primary role.

 

[Max]

Of course!

Are you suggesting this would be logical? Apparently this hasn't crossed the minds of the higher-ups for more than three years now.

I wouldn't say that. His challenges are a bit brash at times, but he's still a young kid and I think he's got a ton of potential.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

We need our defenders to be good now though.

 

[Max]

We need our defenders to be good now though.

What's truly required is a solid centre pairing. You can surely get away with Caceres on the right, Chiellini, another solid central defender, and a good left back (lure Santon with candy?).

i would like someone who is good going forward and not so good defending for the dr position. however he should have 2 very good CBs next to him.

defence should "always" be a first priority over attack specially for "defenders".

Imagine at some point in the future we were leading 1-0 in a really important game and we needed to defend that lead but one error from our defenders could cost us a title or a cup.

Who would you rather have at that moment, a fullback who can defend well but average going forward or someone who is great going forward but poor in defending ? I'd rather have the first guy.

I disagree, I would take a fullback on either flank right now who is class defensively even if he suffers going forward

 

[Sad Statue]

i am fed up with fullbacks who are good in defending and average in attacking. grygera is one. he is good in defending. he does no mistakes always there. but can't go forward...

i am tired of those type of players.

of course i would like fullback who can defend and attack well. but this is difficult to find...

 

[giovanotti]

I just want to see Caceres as RB (which is his natural role) not as CB!

Wouldn't like another experiment!

 

[Hust]

could have used him today.

 

[Salvatore]

He's no better than Grygera in defending.

I think he's better, not by much. People always go to extremes when talking about this guy though, and it seems like a lot change their opinions after every game.

I have got to disagree about Zdenek, buddy.

Grygera played pretty well today (a couple of decent crosses to boot), especially given what we're used to seeing from him, but he certainly isn't a quality defender. Not particularly skilled in any area, Grygera's most glaring faults are frequently blowing the offside trap, and constantly losing his mark in the box; his gaffes are usually back breakers. He's 29 and a mediocre defender, who, as you pointed out, isn't good at getting forward.

In my opinion, this guy was our worst player last season, and we should have unloaded him this past summer and brought in a proper RB. It's absolutely insane that Grygera and Zebina are BOTH still members of this team, considering that RB was without a doubt our worst position last year (with an honorable mention to LB).

Oh yeah... Caceres thread... Forza Martin. We need this guy healthy ASAP, so that we can make the right decision about his status come summertime. He's a high quality athlete, without a doubt.

 

[Hambon]

when will he be back?

 

[Tommy]

I just read in goal that Fonseca said Martin is likely remain here
