We need this lad back as soon as possible, his leadership and aerial ability appear to be vital to us IMO.  The way we lost our shape and composure after conceding the 1st goal was worrying for me.  We were all over the place defensively and too many players started making stupid decisions and giving the ball away cheaply.  Also Lejuene doesn't convince me at all, Clark and Lascelles all day for me.

I know it's something totally normal and you'd expect someone with any ounce of empathy (and his money, given how much drinks in HanaHana are) to do, but what a top bloke. An absolute credit to the club and the captaincy.

Great display of kindness & compassion, regardless of how much money he has. Acts of selflessness like that are of benefit to all not just the person directly helped, imo.

 

Love him :thup:

It's important to have a proper stopper in this league, especially with how we play. We need someone willing to do the grunt work, organizing, and general cajoling to keep players going.

 

I think Lejeuene has shown he has some very good defensive ability and can become that type of player for us, but he's having to adapt to a new style and tempo of defending. He's proven himself in Spain so I have no doubt he'll bed in here just fine, he absolutely needs someone to be the lead defender next to him though.

Always feel like there's backhanded compliments with Lascelles.

 

Wtf is a "proper stopper"? He's a defender, a good one. And seemingly a leader of men and an organiser too.

 

That's the sort of centre back he is - blocks, clearances, aerial battles, deep defending. It's not a backhanded compliment.

Meanwhile he's a leader, his footwork is improving and he's also a goal threat. :thup:

 

Concur with everyone saying how badly we need him back. He's massive for us, even though he's nowhere near the finished article.

Are we talking about the same defender here?

 

He's an organiser, a leader, great in the air in both boxes. "Blocks, clearances and deep defending" is you trying to put him in a box. He's no Sergio Ramos but he mostly plays the ball on the ground.

How is «proper stopper» a backhanded compliment? It literally means Lascelles is a proper stopper, whereas other stoppers are not as proper as he is. It’s a literal compliment as it elevates him above others at his position :lol:

As we're in the Jamaal Lascelles thread, yes, I think we're talking about the same defender.

 

Of course he can do other stuff, but that side of defending is his main game at the moment and really important. He's not a particularly great reader of the game, interceptor or tackler, IMO, not that he can't get better. He has obvious limitations on the ball which is absolutely fine for us, for both now and in the future, because he keeps it simple. I already mentioned he's a good organizer and leader.

 

As if you're digging someone else out on football terminology, like. To my knowledge, stopper is a pretty old-fashioned term for a type of defender, my 63-year old Dad uses it :lol: Weren't you banging on about Matuidi being a 'shuttler' or some utter s**** last year?
