Well Red wrote:Insua looked good, however we have yet to see him against a classy winger who is going to really test his defensive capabilities. If it had been Walcott or Ashley Young up against him today then this topic might be heading down a different road.

90% of our games seem to be against not classy wingers, so I am not really sure its all that important. It is probably more important to be good enough defensively to deal with the average wingers and then contribute as much as possible in attack, than it is to be able to shut down world class wingers.

Well i like him , thought he was pretty composed yesterday , but what do i know having only played for the LIOBIANS 3rd team in Zinghari Div 3 . I meant well though :;):

1 game doesn't make a player.

He played very well, but it is far too early, and there was far too little to go on to be suggesting he is better than Aurelio.

Well i've seen him a few times now lando and i think he's got the makings of a good left back , not the best in the world ,but a good solid alround game . One thing he does have over Aurelio is he's fit.

I thought he was steady and deserves more games, not sure what sort of level he is at yet, and i would urge caution because dont forget Plessis played at the emirates in a 1-1 last season and has since not looked upto it.

But i would definately play him ahead of Dossena.

There is that!

I just don't want to see the usual suspects bigging a player up, to then rip him apart at a later stage, as per usual.

It's a bit like a Media Conference in here at times...

Bacary Sagna wwould beg to differ.

Bacary Sagna doesnt even play on the left.

I don't know what you've been watching but when I watch football the left back plays on our left and the oppositions RIGHT.

It's a good point. I liked the look of Insua yesterday and I thought he did well at Blackburn as well. But, I can't help but recall the praise heaped on Plessis last spring for his fantastic game at the Emirates yet I doubt many would want him near the first team now. Different player, different position and different situation, no question, but the moral of the story is let's not get too carried away bigging up Insua just yet. I'd prefer to let him settle in and see if he's got what it takes to make the position his own.
