Luka Modric
That's right. He loves to thwart the other player. Timing and anticipation spot on

It’s just being aggressive
We have lacked it the last two games across every player and it cost us .... badly
It's the reading, timing and aggressiveness of this all in one

Love this guy but his injury record is worrying.

Gudni Bergsson
he had a very solid game yesterday. I also thought he came across really well on the amazon doc.

Not gonna lie ever since I saw him in these preseason games in the US under Poch I've been expecting good things from him. He just seems a natural, he does certain things innately that are hard to teach. Jose also saw it initially but it seems his injuries had stymied his growth for a bit.
Great to see him back in the starting lineup even if it is at RB where he stills seems super comfortable. Like everyone has said, he's aggressive, and makes the attacking make a decision which is half the the game of defending.
I do worry that he isn't large or experienced enough yet to play CB for Jose but even getting him at RB is a happy moment. He and Rodon do look very promising, the next thing to find out is whether they can be a partnership. [emoji848]

It's definitely more than aggression, tough that's required.
Solid game again from him. Much prefer him to whatever Doherty is currently up to.
As a rightback I think he's fine whilst he gets experience and maybe longer-term he moves to CB. I'd keep him as one of our two RBs next season and sell one of Aurier/Doherty - net 1 fewer non-HG player and raise some cash to part fund a CB

Did you see Aurier mid week?
Worse game he has played this season (worse than Leicester)
What Tanganga does better than both is win the ball.

He also seems able to take a man on when moving out of defence.

A great improvement over Doherty

We've got a very attacking* FB in Reguilon, so Tanganga would be ideal to balance the defence a little. Comfortable coming inside and helping out the CBs, and we've seen how much he likes a good block! That's a skill in itself - reading the game, anticipating the shot, and getting his body in the way.
Tanganga does seem a bit lumbering when it comes to carrying the ball up the pitch, but he can do it. You're right in that he's never going to beat a man, but that's what Bale is for. In theory, anyway.
Is he as good as Walker was? Nope - neither defensively (even allowing for Walker's trademark brainfarts) nor attacking. But then, neither is Aurier...and, based on what he's shown us so far, Doherty isn't even on the same scale! Equally, having a Trippier type super-attacking FB on that side would leave us hugely open at the back.
I'm more than happy for Tanganga to be given a run. Good attitude.
* Not to say he can't (or won't) defend, as he clearly can - he did brilliantly against Mahrez a few months ago, for example. Just that his first thought is to attack, which is great.
No one looked more ‘lumbering’ carrying the ball forward than your man Corluka at right back, and he was still very effective.....

Don't you be dissing The Vedran. I'll feckin' 'ave you, mate.
But yes, point taken.

I've not commented because my opinion hasn't changed since his debut v Pool. Skill, calm, desire, touch, control, power, bravery, tackling, blocks, excellent.

He's a wonderful prospect, needs time to develop. He will make mistakes and hopefully we can dump his B L O O D Y rotation for the rest of the season and get some cohesion in the team. This will help younger players playing in a settled side.

Great by Tanganga, what made me happy though was we had Three players throwing themselves to the deck to block the shot. On too many occasions this season a lot of our players have just stopped and watched the ball hit the back of our net. Good to see.
