Wallsendmag Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Looks absolutely petrified on the ball. A couple of the lads i watched the match with commented on that last night. Seemed to absolutely sh1t himself every time he had the ball at his feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 He's not the most composed. But I don't think you can underestimate quite how high Leicester press. Vardy was up there ratting everyone out and it often meant we had to go back to Elliot. As they pressed so high up the pitch and didn't leave us with many options. Not that we have many options or show for the ball, anyway. Once Leicester started trying to sit back. We had a bit more success. It's also worth mentioning Lascelles tried to overplay at Everton 2-3 times and got caught out. Wasn't the pen and red card, because of overplaying? It looked to me like the back 5, were instructed to go direct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Tbf I said that. They gave us no time on the ball and constantly pressed us which could well have gave him the jitters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I like him a lot. The things he struggles with should be taken care of by time, coaching and more experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I like him a lot. The things he struggles with should be taken care of by time, coaching and more experience. Thought he was the better of the two CBs last night. My opinion of him has gone from 'absolute shit won't make it in the PL' to 'might make it as a squad member in this league'.

Odear Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Lost his balance and lost his man for their goal, how can Okazaki have that much space to do the overhead kick? Who could have predicted Colback would have made a feeble attempt to head the ball before it was knocked down to him? It's not Lascelles fault at all for the goal, for a team like Leicester who have been scoring for fun, the goal was pretty much their only clear cut chance, there's lots of positives to build on, if that sort of effort can be achieved in a few days, there should be another marked improvement by the time we play the fiddlers.

Leazes_End_Mag Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 He's s****. He's not like Well he is. He's nowhere near a premier league defender. There's a reason he couldn't get in Forest's team last season. He was torn apart by York Citys striker in pre season and has continued the woeful displays since then.

Wallsendmag Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Lost his balance and lost his man for their goal, how can Okazaki have that much space to do the overhead kick? Aye he was poor for their goal mind having watched it back a few times and the less said about his "efforts" to stop Bournemouths 2nd goal last week the better. Refusing to invest in a decent centre half and a centre forward in the transfer window will prove costly I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Do you think he could learn and improve with decent coaches and a proven CB at the club or do you think he is a total lost cause? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Do you think he could learn and improve with decent coaches and a proven CB at the club or do you think he is a total lost cause? Daft to write the lad of yet. Time will tell if he can step up and be a capable centre half at this level. Clearly he does have some decent attributes there to build on though. If Benitez stays on after the summer with his coaches he'll be in the best possible hands though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I have a lot more confidence in him than Taylor like, he's better on the ball too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I like him a lot. The things he struggles with should be taken care of by time, coaching and more experience. Same as Mitrovic, got the makings of a good player, just needs another season of premier experience to come good. Neither of them should be shouldering responsibility of a relegation battle.

Parky Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Looks like he will be a good squad def in the future but clearly doesn't look ready yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I like that he's very, very good in the air - has won loads of headers in the last couple of away games, something you can't take for granted when Colo and Mbemba are in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think he looks almost there, tbh. We conceded 1 goal against the league leaders, hardly some abominable display. I'd have him at CB over everyone except Mbemba currently, think he's got potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Leicester average 1.7 GPG & 1.66 at the King Power Stadium. We also concede on average 2.2 goals per game away from home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I like this kid quite a bit now, tbh. Maybe should've been tighter to Okazaki but nobody expects a bicycle kick. Loads of potential here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 No problem with him at all. Yup. In fact I'd stretch to being pretty confident in the guy and his potential. Doesn't look out of place in the league, calm, and half decent on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what keeps me coming to this site, you'll have a guy come in and give comments like "I thought this lad did well tonight, I'm impressed", a few more will agree with him with nods of approval at his potential, then someone always wades in with "he's utter fucking garbage, weak as piss etc.."

timeEd32 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 He's definitely not garbage. He's 22 years old. That's a baby in CB age. If we stay up I'm hopeful Benitez and his staff can at least make him a solid squad player. If we go down, he will likely be vitally important next season.
