Kid Icarus Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I'd be astonished if it wasn't Schar that the new CB played alongside and I think it's possible it'll be 2 new CBs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon one or both of those will start against Leeds. Probably both be starting against Everton and all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkyMark Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I’s bet that if we only bring in one new CH that player will be paired with Lascelles. Howe won’t have the bollocks to drop his ‘skipper’. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 At the time where we needed him the most he has let us down, he's been going downhill for a while now and needs to be one of those taken out of the team the minute we get a CB.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I feel for Howe in this situation, like. I would any manager that came in. Dropping your club captain is a big deal, especially when your options are so thin he's going to have to play anyway with injuries. You cant risk demotivating your players who are going to have to play before you have enough cover for it not to be an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pie in the sky stuff to think any manager would've come in, stripped him of the captaincy, and dropped him straight off the bat. That said, it's painfully obvious he's not the player/influence he once was and worse, he's now a liability. Howe/whoever is identifying transfer targets obviously realises we need multiple centre halves to improve, so his days are (hopefully) numbered. If Howe persists with him once we have these promised centre halves in/Fernández is back then we're fucked (more so than we already are). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 He's always fucking bullied by forwards these days - no matter how big they are. He's also old enough to know better, but his reading of the game jist gets worse and worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Just can't believe it's the same player that looked like fulfilling potential and pushing for and England call up under rafa. He is an absolute shambles and liability. He has lost his head. In a team we have needed our leaders to step up, players like him and Hayden have fallen to pieces, hidden or made things worse.

Dr Jinx Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 This may be conspiracy stuff but wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if certain players are conspiring to keep us down, they’re here for their contract and as much £££ as they can get from the club. This takeover is nothing but a threat to these people as there will be very few clubs that would take them who can offer even anything remotely like what they are on here. Laacelles in particular, this could be the end of the gravy train for him. He’s not even that old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get one CB in...it'll be to replace Lascelles. Schar is a better player IMHO. 100% - worry is I can see Eddie still playing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) He's neither got the actual ability nor the football brain to get by. Basically, as many have said, he's just shit that was disguised by the fairy lights of Rafa's organisation. Long thought of him as a Keith Curle. Looks like he should be good, think it fools people, but he's actual naff. Edited January 15, 2022 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Just watching that goal again on the highlights, Lascelles actually is marking a different player, checks him and then tries to go up against the lad who scores, but because he's running backwards can't get up as effectively. Trippier is the one who's stood watching, but even he's out of position, Schar is the one who's been caught in no man's land after Almiron and Dummett are left for dead by a one-two. It's actually a great move by Watford, think it's a bit harsh to blame Lascelles in hindsight, he seems to have got left two on one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Regardless of weather he’s to blame for the goal or not, I think it’s clear he’s not really good for enough for this level. He’s a player with limited ability and that’s about it. I will always have some gratitude to him though, he’s one of the few who actually gave a fuck when nobody else did.

For me he should be commanding the defence - making sure everyone is position. I never feel like he does - half the time he's caught out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
