Mikky Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Still can't get over how Alfie Mawson got a call up before this lad, was a rock tonight. On current form Lascelles is the best English CB out there - I honestly can't think of anyone that's better (and I don't say this with any NUFC bias) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything less than Virgil money would be an insult to the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I assume the reason he was there was so that when the ball is played in the Chelsea runners don't pick him up, leaving him free for the cut back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John P Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Just went on the sky sports website to pick my England squad. Centre back options - Tarkowski, Smalling, Dier, Jones, Maguire, Mawson, Stones, Keane, Gomez, Mee, Dunk. No sign of Jamaal anywhere, despite him being better than every single one of them. It's fucking ludicrous that we've got a 24 year old English centre back who's captain of a promoted team that finished 10th, who has been solid as a rock all season in a position that England are lacking genuine quality, and he's not even in the frame for the provisional 30-odd man squad. He's a leader, has a great attitude and above all else he's a bloody good defender. Pace, power, great in the air and decent with the ball. Mental.

number9shirt Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Only one Newcastle player deserves to be in the England squad and it's this guy. The most consistent English center back in the league this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alijmitchell Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Don't get me wrong, he has been outstanding all season - but part of me wonders if he could really cut it in any other system than Rafa's. I'm not sure he's a particularly gifted footballer, but in our system, Rafa gets the absolute best out of him despite his weaknesses on the ball. I'm not sure England would build a system to suit him in the same way. He's often just passing it on to Shelvey/Diame/Lejeune. Maybe there would be extra responsibilities on him for England.

Jimburst Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I see people say that quite a bit but really...I don't think he needs to be protected. He plays against the best in the world and frequently comes out on top, it's a bit of an oversimplification to suggest it's entirely Rafa's tactics. It was still Rafa's tactics in play when Lascelles was injured and we were losing every week... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Also don't really buy the weak on the ball narrative. He always looks composed and assured to me, finding his intended target more times than not. He's no Lejeune in possession, but he doesn't really need to be.
