Gazzetta dello Sport looks at Walter Mazzarri’s choices for the wing-back positions ahead of Thursday’s Europa League clash with Dnipro. Yuto Nagatomo is suffering from fatigue and Jonathan doesn’t appear to have 90′ in his legs. Logically that leaves Dodo & Danilo D’Ambrosio as the logical choices. However is this the game when Ibrahima Mbaye could get his chance?

He’ll start from the bench.
He showed some shaky touches against Sassuolo.
just play mbaye & d’ambro.
It’s easy to say but both MBaye and D’Ambrosio are more Full-backs rather than wingers. They don’t have the offensive explosiveness of Dodo and Nagatomo, and even Jonathan. Maybe we can have both on the pitch if we are leading in the game.
mbaye is not so bad as winger. he did a good job for livorno as he played as a winger. he got himself 2 goals in 1 game
He should get some regular playing time to really show what he’s got. And I think he can be better on the right side than Jonathan. But then again I think a cabbage planted in the field there would be a better choice than Jonathan, so not a hard decision ;D
Spot on!
Jonathan hasn’t been giving good performance for a long time. Just half season of good performance, 2 seasons ago I think, and then back to the real Jonathan.. and he never able to last the full 90 minutes, ever.
IN RECENT GAME AGAIN SASSOULO :
mbaye come to pitch as a winger not right back…and he played as a defensor not a winger..all move were defending…maybe he feard that night and lots of stress…
