I like us with 3 at the back, but the 3 would almost certainly be Schar-Fernandez-Lejuene. Clark first backup for one of the side places, and Lascelles as Fernandez' backup.

 

If we are going to play 3 at the back all the time then we need to seriously upgrade both of our full backs as the creativity is practically zilch from the ones we have.

It was peak Danny Simpson, like. Everything was wrong with that. Ki leaving him for someone else because he’s on a card. Nobody else engaging him. Clark coming to cover nobody for some unknown reason and then running off again. Kenedy strolling back after just coming on, Ritchie not reacting to Doherty’s run and of course, Lascelles.

 

Such a shame. As they deserved no more than a point and we killed ourselves today.

He's a very good defender who has undergone a serious loss of form.

 

Whether it's due to the pressures of being Captain, the state of the club in general or something else, we just don't know.

 

I hope he turns it around soon, because at his peak, he's important for us.

 

As tempting as it would be for Rafa to drop him and revert to a flat 4, the fact he's the captain will probably prevent Rafa from doing that for now.  It must be weighing on Lascelles' mind that he owes Rafa a few performances, which probably doesn't help.

 

Do we not? Has he not spoken in public about the negative impact (in his own mind) of the current situation?

It was a colossal shit storm, but Lascelles needed to crunch him as soon as he crossed into our half.

Think some are going a bit over the top like. He’s had a few poor games by his usually solid standard. Seems like people are looking for faults due to the comments he made - he’s our captain, a young one at that and still a very important player, we need to stay behind him. Nobody benefits from this negative attitude towards him.

He's been poor and I wouldnt start him at the moment, but he'll come good again, he's young and has a lot of potential. I think he's probably been affected by the media storm over his comments plus he is returning from injury. I'm sure he'll return to being a decent player in the future.

I don’t get the impression that he would let them down without a valid reason, even if he did decide to keep the reason to himself. He’s been one of the players who goes out to hospitals to and other charity events and all off his own back.

Ok he’s had a bad spell recently, but he’ll come out the other side of it better and will pick up again.
