Raphaël Varane | Match Discussion thread 2021/22

A real class act. You can afford him a mistake or two while he’s settling in and coming back from injury. However, him staying fit is a big issue which I hope he can do.
 
Arsenal 3-1 Man Utd

What is he playing at on that first goal.
 
Seems to be a trademark of this side 1 player makes a mistake then 2 or 3 do the same in response.

No one comes to your rescue apart from De Gea.
 
He disapear when played on the left, leaving the ball playing work to Lindelof. Not good in first half but decent in the second. Average performance, but he is just back from injury.
 
Guess this was always the concern when we bought Varane. It is a real worry not only for the near future but also the toll these injuries are taking on his body in the long term.
 
His historic injury record isn't as bad as his United one, but yeah, it was pretty bad/predictable
 
We have to stop buying players with this kind of profile. Schweinsteiger was another one. They were great in another league for a long, long time, and we get them right as their career flames out. Varane is an upgrade on our 3rd choice option, but he's not what we need going forward. We still need a solid CB pairing.

Varane is crocked, on absurd wages, and is 29. We should have bought Pau Torres instead of him. This was terrible business.
