Jamaal Lascelles

My motm

[AJ9]

How much is this guy worth now?

[ShakaHislop]

Colossus of a man 

[OverThere]

Colossus. I was worried about what would happen with Botman out, but not any more.

cleansheets against Man U and Arsenal.

The majority of us wanted him sold this summer.. it just goes to show the improvement he’s made as a player. Now I’d still have Botman straight back in when he’s properly fit but Lascelles has been fairly flawless the last month and has totally cancelled out what should have been a massive blow.

[pubteam]

At one point he was being touted for England, I thought that player had gone forever. You could never doubt his commitment but he made so many errors. He's been reborn, Botman has a job on to get back in at this rate.

[Big Geordie]

Terrific tonight and since he came in for Botman.

 

Well done Jamal.

[Newcastle Fan]

That was a prime Vincent Kompany performance.

Aye, I definitely wanted him moved on. Utterly wrong. He's a fucking don. 

 

I mean, he is still pretty limited with the ball, but he's trained and been coached to a point where he is a rock solid squad player for us at this moment in time. And his mentality and leadership is elite.

 

Hopefully he is with us for years to come.

Yes, he's been brilliant since he came in. I doubted him but he's been outstanding.

[Lush Vlad]

Man mountain. Imagine going in for a 50-50 or a header against him. I think I’d feel like he had violated me

Him and Joelinton could take any cunt in the league.

And outside china whites 

[Oregon_Geordie]

Always been a big unit. His technical ball play was far better today and lately. Hats off to the skipper!

[Pata]

Loved him telling Havertz to watch his letterbox well after the scuffle.

[dave s]

unreal what a drilled defence, quality coaching and a bit of confidence can do for a player who’d lost his way 

 

Well done Eddie.. 

 

Not Steve.. 

[Geordie Ahmed]

I was definitely among those that thought selling him or at least letting his contract run down made sense, genuinely thought we had left him behind

 

However he has been really, he still has his limitations but his ability on the ball has improved, which helps when those around him give him an option as well as they are comfortable receiving the ball

 

When it comes to defending set pieces he's been superb

 

Shown he is more than capable, reckon he'll get himself a contract extension soon as letting him go for free would be daft

Fantastic tonight. MOTM between him and Joelinton for me. Seemed to turn up everywhere snuffing out everything.

 

...That said, could he have done a bit better controlling our lads during the Havertz incident?

Agreed - MOTM for me, absolute monster performance from Lascelles.

 

But also can't help thinking that our players wouldn't have been booked had Tripps been in charge as he would've made sure to keep them away from the ref.

Not sure I agree with that, Trippier was over there wagging his finger at the ref just like everyone else was. It got all the players riled up and the ref lost his head the moment he pulled that yellow card from his pocket for Havertz.

Yeah fair enough, good point. At the time I just remember thinking JL could have imposed himself a little more. But yes, it would have been difficult for anyone to fully control the situation after such a horrific tackle.

I'd have given him MOTM too, and I was quite surprised when he and Gordon were interviewed at the end, and he didn't get it.

 

Yet again, brilliant man management from Eddie. It can't be easy to demote your captain to the bench, but both parties handled it well, and when Eddie needed Jamal, he stepped up to the plate.

 

By way of contrast, Ten Haag made Maguire feel that he was no longer wanted. Now that he needs him, you can see the consequences.

Never doubted him. 

I did. Couldn’t be happier to see his true levels in a better organised defence. He has been a colossus on an amazing 8 days for us.
