Benwell Lad Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 He's come on a lot in the last year or so and is starting to look like a PL player. Add his undoubted character and the confidence he's currently playing with and it's all looking good for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I don't think he'd want to move to a top 5 club at the moment; going from club captain to probable rotation/bench option at his age and form is the complete opposite of what he needs and I'd like to think he's sensible enough to realise that. Plus, with the takeover rumblings he'll have in the back of his mind that we could be challenging for a European place in a couple of years as it is.

I would say the block was serendipitous rather than genuine good play (at least in the way it happened). The weak defending was just that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41901243 Why Jamaal Lascelles is ideal as Newcastle captain - Alan Shearer Alan Shearer's in-depth interview with Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles is on The Premier League Show at 22:00 GMT on Thursday on BBC Two and the BBC Sport website. I had not met Jamaal Lascelles before I interviewed him for this week's Premier League Show but now I can see why Rafael Benitez made him Newcastle's captain. It is a job that I have been lucky enough to have done myself, so I understand the pressure and the responsibility that comes with the armband. Jamaal clearly does too. He sees being Newcastle skipper as an honour, just like I did, and he definitely has the kind of character you need to be the leader at my old club. It is a lot to take on at any age but he deserves even more credit when you consider he is the youngest captain in the top flight. Jamaal turns 24 on Saturday and has only started 20 Premier League games but, from sitting down and talking to him, you would not think that he lacked any experience. When Alan met Jamaal: Watch the in-depth interview on The Premier League Show at 22:00 GMT this Thursday He was down to earth, honest and very open. I had already been impressed by Jamaal as a player this season, and I was impressed by him as a person too. Saying what he thinks is part of the job. One of the most important things about being Newcastle captain is your relationship with the supporters. You have to understand them, and what they want see. They love anyone who works hard, gives their all and fights for everything, and I think that's why they have taken to Jamaal so much - because they appreciate he does all of that. The feeling is mutual. I could tell how much it meant to him when he talked about spotting the huge banner that fans had made of him in the Gallowgate End for the first time. Newcastle fans displayed their banners of Benitez and Lascelles for the first time before the home game against Crystal Palace at the end of October He wears his heart on his sleeve and leads by example when he is out on the pitch and he has the same approach when he is dealing with issues in the dressing room too. The training ground bust-up he had with Mo Diame last month, and particularly the way it was resolved, is a great example of that. So is the time he spoke up at half-time of Newcastle's defeat at Southampton in April 2016, when he was not even a regular in the team. Jamaal explained why he is not afraid to say what he thinks if he feels it is for the good of the team, and that is typical of his whole approach. He just sees it as part of the job of being captain - which is exactly right. How Benitez has played a big part in his development Benitez made Lascelles captain at the start of last season, when he was 22, and he helped the Magpies win promotion back to the Premier League It was telling that Jamaal spoke about the team so much, even when I asked him questions about his own situation, and he was quick to acknowledge the influence of Rafael Benitez too. Jamaal was full of praise for Benitez as a person, and of course as a manager as well, for the part he has played in every aspect of his development. In terms of improving him as a defender, it was fascinating to hear about the level of detail Benitez puts into in training, going beyond the work on tactics and team shape that he is renowned for. He has taught Jamaal a lot about the art of man-management too, since making him his skipper at the start of last season. Benitez has been helping him along the way, giving his advice on how to react to situations, and there cannot be many better managers to learn all of that from. England could come calling too Lascelles, who joined Newcastle from Nottingham Forest in August 2014, has played for England at under-18, under-19, under-20 and under-21 level Jamaal has recently signed a new long-term contract at St James' Park and it is obvious how much he is enjoying his football at the moment. Hopefully the ankle injury he sustained in Saturday's defeat by Bournemouth is not a serious one and, although that was a disappointing result, Newcastle have still made a positive start to the season. I think he knows they will have some ups and downs but they are a young team and they will improve. The same applies to him as an individual too. He played in the same England Under-20 side as Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Ross Barkley and there has been talk of him following them into the full team. But he is not the type to get carried away by the thought he could make the England squad for next summer's World Cup finals in Russia. One of the things he talked about a lot throughout the interview was consistency and the importance of keeping his concentration and, at the moment, he is just focused on continuing to do well for Newcastle. If he does that, then an international call-up could happen, and one thing is for sure - he will be giving it a good go. Alan Shearer was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.

Mr Logic Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Newcastle United captain Jamaal Lascelles has revealed that Rafa Benitez treats him differently to other members of the Magpies squad. In fact, the Magpies skipper sometimes does not take part in certain training sessions with his team-mates, but instead sits with Benitez in the manager’s office discussing both on-pitch and off-field matters. Last week, Alan Shearer visited United’s Benton Training Centre and spent the afternoon with Lascelles. Ahead of the broadcast of the Premier League Show - which will be shown at 10pm on BBC Two on Thursday - a snippet of Shearer’s in-depth interview with Lascelles has been released. “He’s a great manager. I think I’ve improved so much because of him - not just footballing wise, but also my man-management and to make me a better leader,” Lascelles says of Benitez in a video on the BBC Sport website. “He’s someone I really look up to because of everything he has done. “Yeah [he does treat me a little different] to the other players, the other day I didn’t really train very much because me and him were in his office discussing things all session. “He will tell me to act a certain way, tell the boys to stay positive and get the dressing room going. Even if I do something wrong, even if I’m a bit too harsh on somebody, he’ll be like: ‘Listen, you might not be able to do that to him because of the type of character he is.’ “So he’s taught me how to speak to other people; some people might need a pat on the back, and some people I can have a go at.” During the programme, Shearer also interviews Benitez about Lascelles, and the Newcastle manager is effusive in his praise for the defender. “He’s a worker, he wants to improve, he’s pushing the others in a nice way and you can talk and explain things,” Benitez said. “He can pass the message on very well because his English is better than my English.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
