U2 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 He got unfair criticism last season, in light of the fact that he played 47 matches while enduring injury problems. Can only say this with hindsight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I think that's an excuse tbh. He must have been fine to play else he wouldn't have been able to play. Doesn't excuse needless mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't excuse needless mistakes. I'm of the opinion if he was playing through injury then he shouldn't be playing. We had plenty of backup in the the CB department last season. My personal opinion is that he's just not a good footballer and it's started to catch-up with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Physical attributes are more important to a team like ours at this stage of our revival. Maybe a couple more years down the line, if we have established ourselves in the league, we can look for improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark is better and I think Lejeune will prove to be the best of our CB's (fingers crossed) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing against quality opposition is gonna cost us if we give away possession easily though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Chuffed for Lascelles and Rafa played it perfect in the interview. There seems to be a real trust, understanding and respect between the two and that helps to lay down the foundations for a good team spirit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Wonder if he went into the dressing room after the match all guns blazing at Shelvey or whether he didn't because he's not a lazy dirty forrin type? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I just don't see him being the type to have a go at his mates in the team, whereas the likes of Sissoko, Gini & Janmaat would have been easy targets for him. Just a feeling that's all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a feeling that's all. They were easy targets for good reason. In the relegation, I think he got at everyone. If it didn't include Shelvey it's because Shelvey was dropped for being shit.

Guest Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I just get the feeling he'd be clicky with the likes of Clark, Shelvey, Gayle, Dummett, Elliot that's all man. Just don't think he'd have given Shelvey the same treatment he gave the shirkers after that Southampton away game when he deserves it that's all. It quickly came out in the press that he did that so if he has hammered Shelvey we'd hear about it. Would love to be proven wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I am more concerned on his on pitch performance though. Comical defending for the 1st goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
