I put the full story in one of the threads a while back if you want to search for it.

The worry is so was Williamson and look how that turned out. Maybe we should employ scouts who do a more thorough vetting job then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Buying potential is one of the hardest things in football unless it's glaringly obvious to which the big clubs will have its own up already. Got to give him time, he's young, it's a tough league, were shit, he's surrounded by defensive failures. Long way to go on this one but him and Darlos feel like a massive waste of money at £8m. That £8m 18 months ago could have went on a defender ready for the league and we'd have benfitted from it massively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Not been impressed with Lascelles, think he is fine when the ball is in the air BUT he seems sluggish and more worryingly doesn't appear to be aware of his positioning Ideally I would send him on loan, give him a full season to see if he can develop BUT since we are short on numbers that isn't going to happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Didn't watch the 2nd half but I saw one tweet that said he talked a lot, more than the rest of our squad. So I guess that's a positive. Still conceded two goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 He keeps getting brought on in ridiculous situations. (full-back at City, part of a three-man defence when we're 3-1 down, etc). I'd seriously just start him from next week ahead of Coloccini alongside Mbemba and stick with him even if he makes a few ricks along the way.

I'd seriously just start him from next week ahead of Coloccini alongside Mbemba and stick with him even if he makes a few ricks along the way. If anything at least he offers some height and looks reasonably comfortable on the ball. We can't keep going with the shit defence that conceded 8 goals in 2 games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'd put him on as an additional CB and go with a back 3. Play Janmaat and Mbabu as wing backs and then just pick some midfielders who give a shit in front of him. Focus on not conceding first, it's not like our attacking play is producing much anyway. We don't have the legs to press high up the pitch, better just to sit back and try and counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the legs to press high up the pitch, better just to sit back and try and counter. Exactly how I'd play it now. We're shit, let's just accept it and try to grind a few points out. We're weak as piss in the middle, teams walk through us, so counteract it with numbers and hope for the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 2 poor clearances lead to conceding goals from the lad. But at least he won some headers. Mbemba was woeful as RCB in the back 3 as well. Janmaat was nowhere to be seen again and Mbemba was tortuted by Bolasie, Wickham and co. That missed tackle in the lead up to the she 3rd - awful.

mrmojorisin75 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Not sure Liverpool is the right game to play him in at all, they'll be hunting in packs and don't play it up to a big man. Coutinho and whoever else will run rings around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
