  1. 1. What would you do?

A 6 foot something from a family of basketballers, and Swansea just let him have a running jump at a corner. Lost respect for their gaffa there.

 

Love defenders that win so much in the air. I actually think heading ability is more important for a CB than being a great tackler (in England at least). You can intercept passes, block/close down shooting and crossing opportunities, use body/strength to win the ball.

Are people forgetting that he has the turning circle of a supertanker and the speed off the mark of Lisa Riley in cement? It'll take some fantastic coaching to disguise his basic weaknesses. He's got the physique, the right attitude but he's a fraction too slow to see what's happening too often and he's then too slow to make up for this. He recognised himself that he got caught napping for the Abraham chance and if Abraham had kicked the bloody ball we'd all be talking about what a soft goal we'd conceded.

but he didn't blast it and Jamaal made the right tackle, so get the f out of here trying to find a way to criticize him after such a great performance. Weirdly miserable.

Or just being realistic. Swansea didn't test us defensively. Merino was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch.

If you want to be realistic only Man U and Man City who are 1st and 2nd have conceded less goals (2) in the league. We have conceded 3 so you can look at these facts and they say he has been part of a very good defence so far.

We're talking about Jamaal though man, and he put in a proper shift ffs. :lol:

It has to be said Hayden and Merino protected the space in the middle brilliantly and rarely got Lascelles exposed in open plays.  He is still the Lascelles we know, but Rafa tried his best to train up the whole defense so each players are covering each other.  Rafa deserves most of the credit.
