Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Stepping up and that's all you can ask at this stage. I really like him me, I was at the Westgate road football pitches a year or so back when he and Rafa turned up and he was mint with everyone especially for such a young man. I can get over him not being world class or even top class, I just like what he brings and what he gives and he compliments everything about the ethos of the club under Rafa when it comes to the team. Go on lad! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I wouldn't been surprised if he makes the next England squad, I think it's probably too early for him, but he his certainly FOTM right now. NUFC doing the right thing in tying him down before the England call. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 his form certainly should see him considered, he's playing brilliantly tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 The most confidence we've had in our CBs for how many years? Clark and Lascelles are undroppable at present, Lejeune on the bench and Mbemba available if needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Quick browse of other clubs forums tonight, he's starting to get noticed by them all now in a major way. Would be amazed if isn't on the England radar now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Played superbly i the last two games and pretty much handed us 6 points, i really like him as a leader and a captain and if he keeps improving on the pitch then we will have quite an asset on our hands.

About to go out but I'll start you off with some RAWK posts: https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=282654.msg15609667#msg15609667 Howay the lads! Fancy swapping Lascelles for Lovren or Klavan? Or Lovren and Klavan? At this speed, Lascelles kid will be worth 100M in this market by the end of the year.

Away Day Gadgie Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Don't most of our players traditionally start playing shit once they've got a new contract? Dyer, Tiote and Gutierrez are a few who spring to mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'm not sure if I'd swap him for van Dijk. Although maybe that is in the heat of the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Well this guy is stupid enough potentially to tie himself to this shambles of a club for a few more years on the presumption that Rafa won't say fuck it I'm walking at some point and mcclaren is parachuted back in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Probably played better today than last week when he was MotM. Seemed to have learned aswell as there forward, Jese ?, put the same move on that Abraham puled last week but Lascalles was much closer and snuffed it out instead of having to pull out goal saving heroics.

Willow Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 The most confidence we've had in our CBs for how many years? Clark and Lascelles are undroppable at present, Lejeune on the bench and Mbemba available if needed. Yup, I like them all. I think Lejeune looks fantastic, but only an injury or some mega howlers will get him back in. It's a nice situation to be in for us for a change. January should hopefully see us get a good LB in (and striker), if common sense prevails.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Benefits greatly playing next to Clark who has a calming influence akin to Woodgate (Clark doesn't play like Woodgate). Crazy when Lejeune is possibly much better than both but rightly can't get into the team while they play so well as a unit. Times like this i switch to 5 at the back on fifa just to accommodate all 3 because I like them so much. Thankfully Rafa has more sense. Don't see Jamaal in for qualifiers. Far too much risk for an unknown quantity. If we had a friendly imminently then I'd say he was a shoe in on this form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Have to say I didn't rate him going into the season but he's really standing up and delivering. Fair play to the lad, hopefully it continues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 He may not be a reliable defender but he is an outstanding captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 He has the physicality and leadership, and is able to contribute goals. Needs to improve on his reading of the game but he's still young and has 2 more experienced CBs to provide competition to bring out the best in him and for him to learn from. We've had many worse CBs with major weaknesses in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 This lad is everything Colo wasn't as a captain, and as a player he has obvious (match winning) strengths and huge potential. An excellent fit for our club at this point in time. Let's get that deal signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
