Happinesstan Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 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. It was a colossal shit storm, but Lascelles needed to crunch him as soon as he crossed into our half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Nah just looking at the fact he’s been shit form in last 2 matches Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 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.

mozy Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 He looks a bit slow and heavy to me, also like he knows it which is why he's backing off challenges. Doesn't excuse the brain fart for their first goal though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsprillasShinPad Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 The fact that they're saying 'let us down at the last minute' doesn't look good. If he offered a legit reason, I'm sure they'd have worded it more kindly. Not a good look at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I worry when he's on the ball. He just doesn't look confident with the ball, especially in comparison to our other 3/4 centre backs. He seems to have lost all his confidence but if it's to do with the stick he got, it's entirely his own fault. I still think he's a good player, when he's on form.

David Edgar Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 He has never looked confident on the ball. The other CBs being alright on the ball has just further highlighted Lascelles's deficiencies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Used to think very highly of him, but the recent approach of backing Ashley, insulting the fans and suddenly turning his back on commitments without (apparently) valid reason is not a good look. Whatever this change in approach is from him, it's really impacting his performances - is he trying to alienate himself and leave? Part of me thinks he's got a bit big for his boots and should be fucked off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got too big for his own good, also for the first time at Newcastle he's on the back foot in terms of competition and form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 What's to suggest he's getting too cocky? IMO he looks bereft of confidence. I think the negative pushback from the fans has got to him a bit and its affecting his performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
