nufcjb Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 He's probably in Rafa's ears most of the time telling him who probably deserves to be in the side and so on. Not that Rafa needs it but obviously his leadership qualities has been a key factor and a reason why Rafa chose him to be captain at such a young age. All he needs is a top quality partner alongside him and we'd probably have less worries in the central position. Wonder how would Mbemba do now back in central defence with him seeing Clarke and Lejeune have been off form and shit respectively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Won some huge headers at the end. Love him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I'm worried tbh, he didn't look his normal self all game to me. Didn't look to be moving freely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Go Lejuene Clarke v City and give Lascelles a rest. We will lose anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Go Lejuene Clarke v City and give Lascelles a rest. We will lose anyway. We don’t need to get thumped. But we need Lascelles fit as possible. Might be the most sensible move if he’s carrying major knocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I'm worried tbh, he didn't look his normal self all game to me. Didn't look to be moving freely. Honestly didn’t see any of that minus the limping at end. He seemed to be all over the place and running out and charging shit down. Hopefully he’s okay.

Ketsbaia Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 We finally concede 2 with Lascelles playing, yet it's the game we win. Mad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 2nd time we've conceded 2 with him playing, never more than 2 though (which we were doing pretty much every week without him). First was another mistake that was completely out of his hands too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 This guy is just immense - won a couple of massive headers over Carroll, not many manage that. Really hope he's not injured again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Honestly amazing how this lad is going under the Inglish radar. Can't understand how he's not being touted for a big money move by the press such is the pace of his improvement. I don't want him to be of course, I just don't get it, he's fucking class and getting better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 We look that bit more capable of soaking up pressure with him in the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 He's second only to Rafa for his contribution to the club over the past 18 months. I'd even goes as far to say that if we keep him fit for the rest of the season, we will stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leek Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 After last season I wasn't convinced by him, thought he'd be full of mistakes this seasons. Proven me wrong and it showed when he was missing this season. I still think hes pretty limited player but hes probably our most important, abit like Shawcross at Stoke a few years back.

Yeah I certainly don't want other clubs sniffing about him but you like to see players get recognition when they deserve it. Think how far he's come under Rafa in such a short space of time, it really is great and hopefully he'll keep improving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 He was an absolute colossus at the back. I think I saw him lose his first header on about 70 minutes! Atsu probably got MOTM. But I think Lascelles was. They did play to his strengths, I guess. But he barely put a foot wrong all game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Clip on Twitter of him sticking in 3 blocks in about as many seconds at the death. God. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Easily the most likeable player we'd had at the club since Nobby. I loved shearer, but he wasn't exactly mr personable. Ironically he's lovable now as a pundit and personality. He's come on in leaps and bounds and is becoming defensively a bit of a colossus for us. Fucking love him and its noticeable since he came back we are a different team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Just watched the highlights again and that worry about him seemingly limping is nothing i think. He started looking uncomfortable after blocking a Carroll shot with his joy department, as you would Watching it again he makes said block, a clearance and two great headers in a short space of time, proper good player this lad is now.

huss9 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 love the way that, more often than not, he is in immediate conference with rafa on the touchline after we score rather than celebrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I get the feeling he could be Rafa’s fave player he’s ever coached. His rise has been kind of meteoric. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
