Disco Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Bettinelli is a weird one, Fulham have leaked loads of goals this season No other English keepers in PL? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Why do they need 4 keepers though? They've got Pickford, Butland, McCarthy and Bettinelli for 2 games. Hart has played well by all accounts but doubt Southgate wants him back in the set up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Lascelles may as well look for Irish incestry at this rate. I’d have him in the centre of a back three because he’s a good defender, better than any English defender in terms of CB, he’s also a leader. But on the ball, he isn’t very good and if Southgate wants all his defenders to be capable on the ball even if it’s over being good at defending, it’s his job to pick players who will fit how he wants to play. I think Lascelles would only be needed in reserve for certain moments in a game or situations in that respect. Our biggest issue is midfield or rather creativity in that area.

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Think it's probably going to be from Gomez, Stones, Coady, and Maguire tbh. Lascelles is great for us, when defending is what's needed, but I'm not sure how good he'd be in a team that sees more of the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lascelles is great for us, when defending is what's needed, but I'm not sure how good he'd be in a team that sees more of the ball. He’d look like a spare thumb IMO. Odd man out. He’s not a poor footballer or a donkey on the ball, he’s just not got the kind of touch, control, techqnie and composure to do much with the ball. Like. Lot of ourplayers sadly. He’s a very good defender though or CB in terms of defending, tackling, marking, reading danger, leading etc. And that’s great for us and even if we had a better team, such qualities are always needed and lack of ability on the ball can be compensated for. Lejune gave us that at the back and the two complimented each other well. At the very top level though there is no excuse and any top team’s players should be adept on the ball. That’s why Pep plays Stones and why Dyk was signed by Klopp, mind despite his mistake today, he’s a very good all-rounder, he’s developed into a top top player. Can Lascelles improve on the ball? He probably can, but I don’t think it’s high on the list of priorities for Rafa if on the list at all, nor himself I imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
