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...
Twinport53 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! Gini and SDJ were both captains, that's truly frightening.

mrmojorisin75 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. 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...
mrmojorisin75 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. 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...

Zero Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 He is unbelievable. He is still not an excellent defender but his impact on other teammates are simply unreal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 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. Remember when we went down with barely a whimper and this young kid in his first full top-flight season was publicly calling out senior players for effort and attitude. Seems a born leader, and he's certainly growing into a very good centre half. He's clearly Rafa's man on the pitch, too, and nothing would give me greater joy than the two of them staying another five years. Imagine what they could build in that time, on and off the pitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 If he was fit all season we might be sitting comfortably in the 8th-10th range. Terrifying how important he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Stil wondering about Clark, Lejeune, and Mbemba as his long term partner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 It depends on how we look in front of the defence. With the current team I prefer Clark. If we get better protection and better retention in front of the defence I would prefer Mbemba as he would compliment a more technical/passing game....I think.
