DJ_NUFC Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 O captain, my captain. We're a totally different team when he's there. It's incredible how crucial he is not only at the back, but our overall shape and confidence as a team. He owns that fucking backline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I think punching a couple of teammates every so often when they dont try hard enough is a big help as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The major thing about him for me is that he's both a proactive leader and can also react as necessary. Love when he goes to the touchline every time we score. Rafa and Jamaal make wonderful parents for this lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Easily worth 20m in today’s market. Put a footballing CB next to him... not that I think he’s awful in that area mind, he’s good enough. In a world where Van Dijk goes for £75m, Lascelles would go for at least £40m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 A game changer and that's saying something for a defender! Clearly a different team with him in the side, I've had my doubts about him but he's just constantly getting better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Yet another reason why we need this takeover to happen, so this guy doesn't outgrow the club and we can build our defence around him for years to come. Besides his obvious ability and commitment, we have too many shrinking violets in the side and the leadership we get from him is vital to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFlat Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 No wonder Rafa played him while injured last season. He saw something in him that the vast majority of us didn’t. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Day Gadgie Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The difference in the side when he's not there is frightening! We need to sign a couple of leaders in this window, not just a couple of decent players. That's gona be difficult! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey jake Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I fucking love the Rafa/Lascelles duo. Batman and Robin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 His leadership is massive for us. Great character that allows him to lead this team and help us get better results. His character is also a big reason why he has improved so much, as he is clearly listening to Rafa and continuing to get better and better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to sign a couple of leaders in this window, not just a couple of decent players. That's gona be difficult! Gini and SDJ were both captains, that's truly frightening.

Besides his obvious ability and commitment, we have too many shrinking violets in the side and the leadership we get from him is vital to us. He's a bit like Kompany was for Man City before Pep turned up in the leadership and stature sense, yet so young. Love the lad, did he get a new contract?

Tiresias Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Remember when he was made captain and I was a bit skeptical, now he's the only one I could possibly tolerate being captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 He better be going to the World Cup. Honestly, there's not much if anything that separates him from Maguire and Keane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Keane has been f***ing s*** for Everton. He should but I do wonder if he'll go in, try and do his captain thing from here shouting at more 'senior' players to get into gear and just get laughed at or something. Way too much politics around England squad, it'll never happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire much more comfortable on the ball I'd argue but Lascelles does basic defending as well or better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Lascelles is by far the most attractive which should count for a lot too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
