Got to say, if ever there was a centre forward made for Lascelles it was Matate. A forward line of him as CF with Eduard and Ayew as your wide options is just about as bad as it gets. 

Yeah but also Lascelles pockets Mbappe in his sleep. Phone, keys, wallet, Mbappe.

How would people rate Lascelles as a pure captain? He's got to be one of our best i'd imagine, given where we where when he got given the armband and everything he's had to deal with to this point.

He seems like a great bloke, he realises his limitations and he’s happy to be part of the squad. Keep him here. Guehi looks like a player in need of Eddie Howe. I’d have him over Anderson, he looks like he could go next level in a good team.

Deserves a ton of respect. Happy to keep him on if he's happy to keep on, which it looks like he is. As we've surely learned with the Tonali situation, you can't take dependability for granted.

Might cost a few quid that one, I think I saw Wor Eddie talking to him after the game though

It's not that I'm surprised he's doing well, I always rated him a bit more than some I felt but it's the way he's seamlessly slot in. Sometimes Managers will praise players left on bench or training ground for their behind the scenes training out of politeness but you would't guess he'd played so little for the team.

Seems to have improved with the ball at his feet. Doesn't look rushed nowadays I'd keep him and bring in another to make the four centrebacks up. Burn and hall at leftback. 

 

Think it really helps that his three immediate passing options are Schar, Trips, and Bruno. All really comfortable options there.

I always thought his biggest issue was with the ball at his feet. He has always been a decent defender just always looked like he had a bomb at his feet but in recent games, he looks far more composed and comfortable. Really pleased for him, one of the few back in the darker days who seemed to care and get it so only fitting he gets to enjoy the happier times.

Didn't in anyway forsee feeling so bad at the idea of him dropping back to the bench on Botman's return.

 

Am honestly starting to wonder if Howe is going to tell him the spot is his to lose even when Sven's fully fit.

Think keeping him in the XI would send a great message to the entire squad! Proof that if someone has to drop out, then you come in and perform it really will be your spot to lose.

 

Obviously it's hard to make that decision simply due to how good Sven is.

Aye.

 

Even starting him against Palace with Sven fit enough for the bench sent a message.
