Diego Carlos

[PeterWithesShin]

The Brazilian Nathan Baker.

[pauliewalnuts]

Yes, that.

Bakinho.

[coreyfeldman]

Yep, move him on please, really can't see what he does especially well at all and goes steaming in far too often. We need a long term cb in this summer

[Footy-Vill]

Tim Vickery called him Terry Butcher in reverse.
I think ideally Emery would not have him in the squad and replace him with someone more suitable to our style of play, control of the possession and how like to defend.

[PaulWinch again]

His positioning for the second was terrible. Also when he got the yellow he swung his elbow back and had their player gone down it could easily have been red.

[brontebilly]

I think he is ok. He is not the problem IMO.

I think that's definitely the problem. Him and Lenglet have no pace at all forcing us give the opposition way too much space.

Torres also does not have much pace, but he more than compensates for it by his intelligence and his use of the ball coming forward.

Carlos just looks brainless to me. A 'throw a brick at me and I'll at least try to head it out' style player in a league where nobody really wants that type of player any more.

He's shite. He's about the polar opposite of what Emery is looking for in a centre back. The more Lenglet plays the more distinctly average he looks too.

[pauliewalnuts]

Yeah, good point, he's also a red card waiting to happen.

He really is disturbingly brainless at times. He's already had a couple of lucky escapes with officialdom this season.

[pauliewalnuts]

He's shite. He's about the polar opposite of what Emery is looking for in a centre back.

Yes, this. He is absolutely not what I'd call an Emery type player.

[PhilVill]

Both him and Lenglet will not be here come end of August. If I was being kind I would say he is the sort of defender Dyche would be happy to have. However, Bobby Moore and Paul Mc would have struggled tonight with that midfield in front of them

[Footy-Vill]

Gerrard wanted a physical type of centre back with Champions League experience.
He's not a modern type centre back and perhaps too late for him to adapt

[LeonW]

Seen enough now to see we have well and truly been done here; very average player and pathetic last night.

[KRS]

Our season could very easily unravel and fall apart if (as it looks like it will be) Carlos and Lenglet are our CB pairing for the foreseeable.

[ChicagoLion]

It’s the other way around, a ragged back 4 and the midfield gets swamped.
Carlos is a train wreck.

[AV82EC]

From my seat in the Upper Trinity it’s obvious he’s a drop off and defend space type CB and is very uncomfortable pushing up and playing a high line, probably due to his lack of pace. There were about 4 occasions he played people onside as he stepped back rather than hold a line. He’s better when Konsa plays outside him but Konsa is a much better CB.

[Dick Edwards]

God, he may not have been the only one but he was terrible last night. What particularly annoyed me was that he's built a reputation for being a good long forward passer of the ball, yet last night he just repeatedly played it short, backwards or sideways to Lenglet or Moreno. Without exaggeration, I could do that, and I'm in my 60s.
