nufcjb Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) Disagree with early bit there. He is Premier League standard with the ball at his feet, but not just one that you'd expect at a top club. He could easily fit in any defence of the clubs down the bottom half of the league. We probably need not only a fresh pair of legs in the team but also fresh minds. Different approach and leadership just to shake things up. Trippier's form has been declining and perhaps his control of the lads as well. Lascelles has given his fair share of commitment down the years. Even got into bust ups with teammates so he is commanding for sure. Schar and Lascelles worked well last season so thats a positive. Needs time with Botman and Burn perhaps.

NUFC91 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Said it before..Lascelles is by far the best Header of the ball at the club, granted Schar Botman and Burn are better players I wish they could attack ball with his conviction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 He's always ready to step in when needed and he did so yesterday and came through it very well. He's an asset to the squad, has an enjoyable air of menace about him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Kind of player that will do quite well away at City but be absolutely minging against the likes of Wolves and Forest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawalls Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 12 hours ago, Klaus said: We all knew his strengths and weaknesses. He is a good leader/strong/good for set penis, but on the other is clumsy and lacks confidence on the ball. Glad to hear he had a good game, considering the opposition. Always gotta have a player whose good and strong on the penis ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawalls Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I’ve been proven a little wrong on him yesterday and glad I have - I said a while ago we should move him on and somebody tore into me big style, seems they were right to do so because as others have said he’s the one bastard who can head the ball and he also has great leadership qualities as well as being a bit of a hard one it seems.

Geogaddi Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) Thought he had Haaland in his back pocket yesterday, he’s a good threat from set pieces as well which is something we need, would start him next week.

Ste Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 He’s one of a line of players now that benefit from being well coached and playing in a system that doesn’t promote cowardice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 It’s always been his decision making or lack of awareness that’s been his downfall. I must say I was worried when I saw his name on the team sheet especially against the pace and power of Haaland. But man for man, I’d say that’s one of the few this season who’s really put it up to him, what he lacked in pace, he made up for body positioning and strength, won his headers etc. Both he and Botman were let down by their full backs yesterday.

nufcjb Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) I know it's just a standard practise and nothing to rave about but I still find it a nice and lovely touch whenever he comes on and Trippier puts the captain's armband on him. Think he still gets massive respect in the dressing room among the players. Edited April 8, 2023 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 If lascelles is happy to that's fine, get him doing coaching badges he seems the type considering how much he seems to be valued on the training ground. He should be under no illusion though. In summer we will likely sign a new left back, Burn will likely be ahead of him as a backup CB if he's not at left back. Equally we will likely sign competition for Schar who will likewise be ahead. Unless one of them is odd his playing time will be minimal, but equally we will have a lot more games next season.

SUPERTOON Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 It’s probably more up to Lascelles than Howe about him staying, surely Lascelles will want to go and play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does should be allowed to. Not impossible he has personal life all set up here, is well liked in dressing room, and as said could get coaching badges, however it is kinda sad for a CB to be 29 and not playing week in week out.

WilliamPS Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Been remarkably lucky with injuries at the back this season, be crazy to let an experienced back up go. First thing the club would need to do if he left is replace him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeB Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) We need a bigger squad and if the likes of him, Manquillo and Krafth are happy kicking around on the edges of the team then 100% keep them. It's going to be hard signing reliable players who are going to come here knowing they're not going to play much and then hit the ground running when they're needed.

80 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Happy for him to stay on personally, every time he's played this season people have been pleasantly surprised e.g. Liverpool away. And given we might be signing so many over the summer, I think the more of the (good) old guard we keep on to maintain dressing room standards the better.
