triggs Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 He certainly wanted it more than Mawson. Nah, more to do with Mawson having a standing jump while Lascelles had a running jump, along with Lascelles being more athletic Racist. White men can't jump Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Fucking love that photo, can't beat a towering header. I'm sure the perspective plays a part but he looks ludicrously high. Mawson's like 6ft 2in and is nowhere near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 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.

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 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.
