    For me it's number 3; when he plays poorly it is massively over-egged, when he has a good game he is suddenly the best full back in Europe. Lee Naylor was exactly the same, the only difference was Naylor was a complete confidence player and as soon as the crowd were on his back he was a broken man.

    The reality is right in the middle with Emilio. He is a good left back that has struggled to regain a consistent level of form.

    He has been excellent recently but he had a bad night at the office.

    Pish poor defending for the first goal. He wasn't even aware of Humphrey behind him, if he had looked over his shoulder before the ball came across, then he would have been first to it. To be fair to him, he has been getting back to the Izaguirre of old just lately, hopefully this performnace won't knock his confidence.

    Slowly gaining consistency but can be like a donkey at times.

    Slowly losing patience with his pitiful defending.

    Time to get rid of during the summer, or bring in some serious competition I'm afraid.

    Have to agree, becoming a bit of a liability at the back. has one decent game in 4 at the moment. That is being generous too.

    Sadly not a half of the player he has been for us in the past. Truth be told, when Lustig comes back i'd quite like to see Matthews switched and Iza dropped for a bit. Gershon is another option.

    Every time Iza is on the ball at the moment, it's heart in mouth stuff.

    Defending like Saturdays' makes him a liability.

    * stuff.

    Yep, one of our best players at Juve.

    I love Izzy, don't want him to go.

    And the four or five games proceding that. What we need to do is stop chopping and changing about the back four and formations.

    It's effecting the defending something awful. Lustig and Matthews are the ones that seem to thrive on it.

    he is actually a really good player and a good defender most of the time but like most players he can have a bad day.

    and just incase people didnt know he is used as an attacking wing back so he will be caught out of position but that is why we have a defensive midfielder to cover to hold and gaps left by both our wing backs but sadly the whole team gets caught of from time to time

    It effects the defending/understanding/communication yes, but not as much as individual stupidity and error has been.

    Was talking as a whole, Izzy was just * stupid on the weekend. Can't remember him ever doing that before though.
