Guest Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Is this not his normal level though? Average/below average Premier League centre-back? It's what he's demonstrated most of his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Is this not his normal level though? Average/below average Premier League centre-back? It's what he's demonstrated most of his career. Absolutely, poor Premiership defender imo. Just one of those players who far too good in the Championship but nowhere near good enough in the Premier.

huss9 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 much better alongside lascelles - decent partnership thats had time to develop. lejeune is stills truggling to adapt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Among the many errors for the 3rd... his was probably the worst. No mans land. Only 1 player to pick up.. doesn't pick him up. He and Lejeune are awful together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Think Rafa might have knocked some of his confidence by dropping him for Lejeune when he was playing well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Distribution was shocking. He's usually a lot better with his passing but he hoofed it so much yesterday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Think Rafa might have knocked some of his confidence by dropping him for Lejeune when he was playing well Perhaps. That was a strange one tbh. We were looking solid. I think he dropped a massive rick against Liverpool but Elliot made a good save 1v1 but seemingly Rafa dropped him for that. Then Lejeune went on to drop his own clanger against Southampton. Now we have them playing together and they look awful. Lascelles seems way less error prone then them both in terms of clangers. And seems to organise the defence much better - a real leader, a calming influence. Yesterday was the first time in a long time we've looked a shambles defensively. Need to go back to being tough to beat. Starting with midfielders that can run and provide protection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Lejeune is more likely to still be in and around the team when we start strengthening and look to push top 8-10 than Clark imo so I'd keep him with when Lascelles is back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 The fact Rafa when we've signed him will have earmarked him as someone to take us up the Premier League, whereas Clark was someone signed to get us into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair. Although i've seen our signings as players to simply keep us up rather than pushing up the league. Down to transfer restrictions rather than Rafa's mentality.

Guest neesy111 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Clark and Lejeune are too similar, that's the issue. Defenders need to compliment each other, just like strikers do when you play 2 up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
