Well, it seems that we don't have a lb who can defend, because Molinaro can't defend nor attack. So I'd prefer a lb who can at least attack.

All hatred towards Molinaro aside,I really think he is better than De Ceglie defensively.

De Ceglie all the way though.

Well, Molinaro might be slightly better than DC defensively IMO. Overall, DC is way better than Molinaro, and I hope he starts most of the matches for us.

He did well last night, but there still a few aspects that he could work on especially defensively. He missed a couple of headers here and there with some positional mistakes but overall he looks promising and more importantly confident.

Thank God for last night, the Molinaro nightmare is over!

 

[Brixity]

I prefer him to Molinaro tbh. he crosses better and positions himself better for interceptions though this can still improve. I also hope he stops this thing of backing away from attacking wingers which seems to be part of all our full backs game

its still too early to say..
DC did got passed on quite few occasions and quite easy, and all ended up with pulling t shirt. I never saw that with molinaro

True, but he also had some nice interceptions and sliding tackles we never saw with Molinaro, too.

His crosses are just fine but he has to improve defensively,where Molinaro is much stronger.

We have to decide: Do we want to have a LB who can defend or cross well?

Huh? I wouldnt call myself a DC lover nor a Molinaro hater. But DC looked quite good defensively yesterday.

I prefer DC to play as a LM/LW more than a LB. As for his defensive attributes, it can be improved. Just need more experience and physical stature.

I think Ranieri would start Molinaro for Zenit though

With two DMs and Chiellini as the left CB, we can afford to play De Ceglie for his attacking ability and cover his defensive weakness.

I agree. He can definitely attack better than Molinaro. As for defensive play, lets hope he can improve. Its not like Molinaro is a rock in defense...

PDC is better than molinaro in every aspect and the key thing to keep in mind is that he can only improve. i don't understand why moli-moli has stunted growth in terms of ability but thats just how it is i guess.

btw molinaro is dumb as a rock in defense

couldnt say it better....

De Ceglie all the way though.

Why would you say that? Have you ever seen Molinaro performing a successful tackle?

More experience in the first team, yes: more stature??? He's 1.84m (six foot?). How tall does he have to be? He is capable of holding his own!




His goal for us against Lecce in Serie B: -


He can run, ok too!

no it isn't, can't you see ranieri is keeping him fresh for the zenit game?

 

[Hust]

DC needs to be the new starting LB. Some of you say he has some positioning issues, that is an easy fix with some practices that would focus on his positioning. He made some nice challenges and with the shirt pulls, what italian defender doesn't pull shirts? For that matter, what great defender doesn't pull shirts when needed? The best thing I saw from DC was how confident he was when he attacked AND how much better and more accurrate his crosses were than molinaros. Please the only thing molinaro has over DC is spead. Again, to reiterate my thesis, ranieri can work with DC on positioning in practice and with experience. Now molinaros lack of defensive understanding/decisions will not come so easily. I say, stick with DC for now on.
