Kanj Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Aye get Lejuene back in. Clark isn’t great but there seems to be a bit of a witch hunt building against him at the minute. There always seems to be one of our players that a section of our fans love to blame. I’m interested to see who they turn their attention to next. Its not exactly a witch-hunt. People are rightly pointing out that we've conceded quite a few goals recently that have come from his being nowhere near his marker. He's also produced some good last-ditch saving tackles and blocks, and has been a decent threat in attack. The mistakes lead directly to goals though and someone else should get a fair crack in his place. Agree - he's switched off poorly in the back, no doubt he's been fair solid and sometimes looks very good - but his mistakes are costly (as were Lejeune's earlier in season).

Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I think he’s a solid 7/10 performer week in week out and does the basics very well. He reads the game, he’s calm, he’s a leader and he is basically our kingpin. In many ways he’s vastly underrated. I get the impression though, it’s more down to Rafa than his own ability. I’d take him to the WC and value him well over 20m in today’s market. He is by far our best player, most important player and easily our most likeable player.

Bimpy474 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I expect him to still make the odd mistake, he's still very young and inexperienced at this level, but that's what's been so good about him, he's taken the step up and the captaincy in his stride and been outstanding. If we can keep him, we have a proper fantastic player for the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 His mistakes are few and far between and seem to be on the ball only, as a defender I’d go as far to say he’s a fucking rock IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IneedAbed Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Just saying but there is probably 50M in Lascelles and Merino that I hope Amanda's people are accounting for in their valuation. I bet Southampton's valuation didn't count on them getting 75M for a player in the near future. No their isn't, 30 push Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footsoldier Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Can’t say that I’ve been that impressed by LeJeune. Certainly not enough to clamour for his inclusion in the team from what I’ve seen so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the shite on forums and social media recently has been ridiculous though. Every time we drop points there has to be someone to point the finger at it seems.

Guest Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 We've lost 4 points due to two players not good enough making mistakes so hardly a surprise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footsoldier Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 We’ve lost a hell of a lot more points through having forwards and wingers who are so inept they can barely muster a goal between them. And a defense that is quite highly rated in spite of the fact that they are under pressure for huge amounts of the game. Every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not down to just 2 players though really is it? We lack quality all over the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Absolutely no doubt he's been our player of the season, like. He's been consistently good and his reading of the game gets better and better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

louistoon Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Absolutely no doubt he's been our player of the season, like. He's been consistently good and his reading of the game gets better and better. At the start of this season, and at the start of last season, even though he has been captain he's had to fight for his position in the team. At the start of last season he wouldn't have made half or more's starting XI and the same for this season, and the way he's made himself undroppable in both is phenomenal. He really deserves this, he's earnt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
