Tsunami Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Are people forgetting that he has the turning circle of a supertanker and the speed off the mark of Lisa Riley in cement? It'll take some fantastic coaching to disguise his basic weaknesses. He's got the physique, the right attitude but he's a fraction too slow to see what's happening too often and he's then too slow to make up for this. He recognised himself that he got caught napping for the Abraham chance and if Abraham had kicked the bloody ball we'd all be talking about what a soft goal we'd conceded.

If you want to be realistic only Man U and Man City who are 1st and 2nd have conceded less goals (2) in the league. We have conceded 3 so you can look at these facts and they say he has been part of a very good defence so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 It has to be said Hayden and Merino protected the space in the middle brilliantly and rarely got Lascelles exposed in open plays. He is still the Lascelles we know, but Rafa tried his best to train up the whole defense so each players are covering each other. Rafa deserves most of the credit.

I thought agents and the manager to a lesser degree is supposed to be the buffer there? Mike must be terrified of calling Rafa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Putting aside his ability, which is not as bad as sometimes made out IMO, it's a pleasure to have someone with such good character representing the club as captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1964 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Might have been covered somewhere else, can't be arsed to look but listening to that dullard Redknapp trying to pronounce his name at the weekend is a sad reflection on sports broadcasting.
