Mariano Pernia

He has signed for Athletico Madrid

 

Cost quite a good bit overall, believe there was a player exchange with something like 3 players going the other direction.

 

Don't think he's the type of left back we'd want - unless you like your full backs to spend more time up by the opponent's box than near his own.

[Benitez]

he was caught out way too many times tonight.

I agree, he's exactly the type of player that gets overhyped at the world cup for his attacking displays and then when someone signs him and people start noticing him in his club career they realise he's a bit cr*p defensively. Happens every world cup.

Thought he was a bit crap to be honest, Spain's weak link in defence.

Pernia was rubbish tonight and the Spanish teams weaklink. It was like watching Ian Harte playing for Espana.

Sagnol gave him a lesson on how to play the full back role. He was a totally different class to Pernia. That said I'm not too gone on Abidal for the French

Stevie H rates him so probably not a surprise

To be fair Raul and Torres were s*** for Spain as well. They would've won the game if they had a forward playing well tonight
