Tsunami Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 He'll get roasted in the PL, square him up and he has the turning circle of a Tanker, the slightest pace once he's square completely does him. He was done in the first half in an embarrassment of a 1 on 1 and he got done again for the goal (albeit the Wigan lad did well). I seriously think he may have to go.

Seymour Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Some posters on here are very fickle, centre halves take a long time to develop and benefit massively from experience. This is true Maguire is a great example of this, been on the fringes of the Hull team for years now and been sent out on loan. But this season hes looked canny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 He looks nervous and indecisive at times - and particularly for the Wigan goal, where he seemed to get caught in two minds. For a centre back, I think he's not bad on the ball, but I'm unsure how strong he is as a defender. But for sure, mental strength is crucial for a centre back.

Tiresias Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Think he'll be fine, been a bit dodgy of late but just needs to keep clocking on the experience as said above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 He's been shite recently after having a decent start to the season. All of a sudden he seems to be shitting his pants when he gets the ball. The lack of a challenge for their goal yesterday was criminal as well.

The lack of a challenge for their goal yesterday was criminal as well. It wasn't just for their goal, he did it a few times. Earlier in the season he was dropped because of his mistakes and should be again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Thought he was poor once again yesterday. His defending for the goal was comical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB has to be a big priority area in the summer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I like his attitude etc, but i just don't he's good enough for the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Definitely worth persevering with, but I'm not comfortable at the prospect of him starting first choice for us next season. Not sure how much the captaincy has helped tbh, a lot of pressure for someone so inexperienced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how much the captaincy has helped tbh, a lot of pressure for someone so inexperienced. I dont think pressure of the captaincy has had much to do with it, to be honest. He's very inconsistent, we've had a real mixed bag from him this year and it's all been down to him as an individual. He could do with understanding his limitations and concentrate on what he is normally good at, being a penalty box defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Not sure what those limitations have got to do with him being absolutely owned in the penalty box due to lack of agility, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Not sure what those limitations have got to do with him being absolutely owned in the penalty box due to lack of agility, mind. I agree that he his agility is poor but I still think he's decent when it comes to making blocks, interceptions and tackles in the box (recent form aside). He is notably better in games when we are defending as a team I.e Brighton, Huddersfield etc. When the game opens up or we have to go and attack a team, he doesn't know where to put himself and gets caught out. I think he will improve with experience but it's hard to tell how much. We should stick with him though. As you say, we need a centre half in the summer.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 He should be dropped but who knows what is going on with Mbemba. Maybe Rafa just doesn't want to change both CBs at once with Clarke being out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Shocked that the Rafa, Mbemba, Gouffran, Perez, and Diame threads have all been bumped before this one, like. Because it's just such an obvious given that he's not good enough, or because people put the blame at other people's doors before his? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 He's been poor most of the season, however Clark has carried him through most games. Without him his lack of quality is highlighted further. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 We all know he isn't good enough, to be fair. He's been living off performances against teams with nowt to play for last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I like him and think he's a good character and has ability, but he's having a poor end to the season and if he is our starting CB and Captain next season we could be in real trouble.

Foluwashola Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 He's put in a lot of poor performances but there's definitely something there. Not willing to write off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
