Memphis Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I cannot believe the transformation in his game. Over the last week, he has been forced into action against some of the best attackers in the world and he has done himself proud. What a professional he has been over the last 18-24 months and I could not be happier for a player, he deserved tonight as much as anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandamninator Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Dokko said: Seems to have learned how to pass a bit. Not perfect, but enough to not be a glaring weakness, and with that, he's an option again. Hopefully the next player to be Howe'd. Is probably one of the bigger what if's in recent time for Newcastle - was a borderline England candidate in 2018 with his passing being what caused Southgate to not pick him. Then when we went to a back three in 2019 he started showing flashes of rounding out his game with his distribution. Of course, Fatty then chased out Rafa for Bruce and he stagnated like the rest of the squad for 3 years. Just a shame he is a couple of years older than Longstaff so won't be able to get Howe'd in time for his peak years.

The College Dropout Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Think most of us thought he was 2nd choice RCB at best. Now he’s simply 3rd choice CB. That’s massive for his future if he makes it stick. It’s taken chips to fall in his favour but he’s worked hard to take his opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 The team defends as a whole and attacks as a whole. As a player that gives you so much confidence and support. Chuffed for big Jam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple times him and Trips weren’t on the same page and doing some finger pointing in the moment which made my heart go in to my throat but overall he handled it all really well. Class game overall. Edited October 5, 2023 by cubaricho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Just now, Kid Icarus said: I would like to apologise for everything I've ever said about big Jam, he was absolutely brilliant last night. Both centre backs, stalwarts in the Championship, absolutely solid against an elite strike force. So proud of them and so pleased for them as individuals. Lascelles in particular has shown real class to stay as involved, positive and team-focussed while missing out and being written-off by many. Well he didn’t miss out last night… couldn’t be happier for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazeT44 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Great performance and very happy that he got the opportunity to lead Newcastle out on a night like that. Well deserved. A proper club player. Never complained once (not least in the public eye) and hasn't put a foot wrong when called upon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The ability has always been there. The problem was between his ears. He gave a very composed and confident performance - words I never thought I'd be using in relation to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
