Big Geordie Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 He's done really well. His attitude and commitment puts Colo and Steven Taylor to shame. Those two should never play for the club again (and hopefully won't!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 That tackle, man. Maybe it was Bobby Moore's face in that cloud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Future England centre back. I'm loving our young English core. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 The official Twitter account has been top notch recently, they've really upped their game since Rafa arrived. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 The official Twitter account has been top notch recently, they've really upped their game since Rafa arrived. Swear we had 400/500k followers at the start of the season. I'm sure there's a way to check but I gave up after 5 mins of googling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'm liking this kid tbh, talent wise and personality wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hope he and Mbemba are our starting CB's next seaso if we stay up. I have a feeling Rafa would get an "experienced" CB in, but surely surviving a relegation battle like this would be experience enough. They're building a great partnership. Mbemba is younger than Lascelles.. mental to think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 hes our first choice CB next year for me. He's got it all. This is it really. He does really seem to be good in every department. In the air, on the deck, good positionally and that bit of skill where he rolled the ball back and turned in their penalty area to set ginger up... Not to mention he's a proper leader.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 In an ideal world though we'd upgrade Colo & Taylor with two better centre-backs 3-5 years younger so we're not relying on them. Big ask expecting two young defenders who are new to the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I can't imagine Taylor and Colo will be here next season in any circumstances really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 In an ideal world though we'd upgrade Colo & Taylor with two better centre-backs 3-5 years younger so we're not relying on them. Big ask expecting two young defenders who are new to the Premier League. I dunno they seem to be doing all right as is, plus the pressure won't ever get as big as it is right now. Unless you mean as cover then i agree, because the way they have both played since Rafa came in i don't think it's likely we are going to get better starters in the short term. Also it's cliche as fuck but i'm not sure i believe Mbemba's age tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Wasn't overly impressed earlier in the season, always seemed like a decent lad BUT he seemed to have bad positional sense and look sluggish The last month or so has seen a huge turnaround, starting from being an absolute star off the pitch, displaying a huge amount of courage and now on the pitch he is starting to perform as well My favourite player and think he needs to be made captain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 When he called out the players was as important as anything he's done on the pitch IMO, could be a massive moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 We'd be all but safe if he'd been in the side as soon as Rafa arrived imo, again goes back to not getting him after Chelsea, as there's no way Taylor lasts more than a few games without Rafa sussing him.

jimmymag Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Another damning indictment of McClaren's mismanagement, how he couldn't see that this lad was a far better player than Coloccini. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Steve Taylor and Coloccini kept this kid out of the team. I'm baffled as to why Rafa left Jamaal out for the Southampton and Norwich games for Taylor after Jamaal played so well against Sunderland, still can't get my head around it.
