Love the Big Man
I agree like I said I back him and every defender makes mistakes plus he hasn’t had a lot of Premier league matches. But at times he has to make the challenge and can’t back off, he has done that a couple times, to be fair I think it’s just lack of experience. He bet he could take the safe play as no one was behind him to help, but in premier league once a guy is edge of box and you take a step off him he will slam the brakes and shoot all three of the goals we suffered last two games, and to be fair he wasn’t to blame for all three our defenders backed off edge of the box, suicidal. But I agree he has performed overall above expectationsThere are no question marks hanging over Gabriel for me. Yes, you’ll probably get the odd mistake, but from what I’ve seen they will be few enough and far enough between to feel comfortable with him at CB. Great signing.
Did he sign a five year deal when he came? No rush yet but we shouldn't wait too long before offering him an extension.Got to be up there as a contender for the best CB in the league so far this season, been outstanding.
He has contract until 2025, I would think he doesn't have the 1-year extension option like many recent signings.Did he sign a five year deal when he came? No rush yet but we shouldn't wait too long before offering him an extension.
I like that he makes some really big decisions in defence sometimes. They may look rash but I think most of them are calculated. He definitely back himself to do the job and he’s not afraid of responsibility. As long as he has a partner and teammates who knows his game, those big decisions will be right ones most of the time.But at times he has to make the challenge and can’t back off, he has done that a couple times, to be fair I think it’s just lack of experience.
Love Gabriel, that being said he was woeful against Palace and still backs off at times when attacker is too close to goal, I think he is class and will learn to back himself more when he has to push up and make challenge but he is going to be a great if healthy.
Yes I seen both do it cost us all three of the goals we conceded in last three. You are right though it was White.I think it was White that kept backing off Eduardo when he scored the second.
I think the one I credit to Gabriel is the benteke goal if I remember correctlyI think it was White that kept backing off Eduardo when he scored the second.
I agree he has confidence and look of leader like I said I think with experience in the league and continuity he will improve even further, remembering he is still learning opposition and tendencies of White his partnerI like that he makes some really big decisions in defence sometimes. They may look rash but I think most of them are calculated. He definitely back himself to do the job and he’s not afraid of responsibility.
