Big Geordie Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 He's needed 'resting' for some time, but I think the injury to Clark has put paid to that. His form has been poor over these last few months - mind, he's not been the only one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 He's a young centre half still, like. Plenty of time to improve and some good attributes to work with. We need 2 CBs in the Summer, no doubt, but I have faith he'll make it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Other than looking like he was shitting himself when he walked on the pitch, I didn't see too much wrong/remarkable tonight. Did score mind. I haven't watched goal back yet, mind, so accept that he may be out of position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Mbemba was outcasted for 6 months because of a crap performance v Wolves. Lascelles has been a big let down for me and has been for a long time. So many fuck ups in him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leek Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Dont understand why hes basically been 1st choice all season, if he wasnt picked as captain I think he'd of been dropped more but Rafas digging himself to deep with this one. Just dont see anything other than passion in him, he just seems like a lumbering frigid fuck up waiting to happen every game. He isnt quick, terrible on the ball, no agility and gets caught out all the time, he doesnt even put his size to good use half the time. Granted hes chipped in with some goals and solid performances early in the season, but the amount of mistakes he makes considering he doesnt deal with half of what most defenders in the league deal with is terrible. Its just even more frustrating when Mbembas been shafted for so long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Needs Clark stood next to him to tell him what to do. Total liability when playing alongside Mbemba or Hanley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 2 new CB's with Clark, Mbemba and Dummett competing/backup. This clown should be released or go out on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Just seen their goal on tv, wtf was he doing - I can only think he thought the ball was going through to the keeper. Seriously; 6th minute of injury time, put your bloody head on it, shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I like he lad, he's a young player with the right attitude and I'd keep him in the squad next season as he can improve under Benitez. No way should he be starting though, not good enough currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need 2 CBs in the Summer, no doubt, but I have faith he'll make it. Agree with both. It's also his first full season. I think it also shows how important of a signing Clark has been. We wouldn't have conceded that goal last night - there's no way he'd have let someone be out of position like that in that stage of the game. Not unless I've got rose-tinted glasses on in the wake of that game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is his 4th season where you'd consider him either a first choice, or pushing for a first-team spot in a team in the top two divisions so I'm not giving him that like.

Guest palnese Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 He played pretty well at the end of the last season, didn't he? On current form it would be a huge gamble to start him in the top flight. He needs game time to improve, so what do we do with him? Can't see Rafa loaning out his current captain.

The College Dropout Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Poor for the goal - some of the reactions here are OTT. Erased the good work from what was a good header to score himself. Looked very shaky recently but I believe he's got something. Young CB's make silly mistakes and that was one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 He makes them way too often though, he's been pap lately and need to grow up asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Captaincy and pressure is putting a massive burden on him, he needs to be taken out of the firing line and also learn from a more experienced partner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I think he's just a bit thick, but he will go again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I think he's just a bit thick, but he will go again. This is the issue with him being captain is that he has to talk to the media before most games so we'll get these stupid soundbites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
