Yorkie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Real shame that header at the end didn't go in. He looked devastated about his mistake and was desperate to make amends; good attitude and he played well aside from the rick. He's clearly got the physicality to do well, and looks technically capable too. All the makings of a good centre-half, and the perfect manager to guide him.

Nepharite Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Always feel setbacks like he's had today make players dig deeper and earlier for a new team. To prove themselves worthy. Hope so anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 He played well today tbf. The challenge for the penalty was dim as fuck, but one that all defenders will make at some point in their career; too eager to impress having being left out of the last few games, perhaps, tries to nip in and gets done by Long who has no intention of doing anything other than kicking the ball as far away as possible. Frustrating, but meh, just has to learn from it. Probably cost him his place in the next game too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 With our lads doing so much defending we'll see more silly mistakes. Won't forget Clark made a shocking mistake in the last game. But can't see Lejeune keeping his place for the next game. And Lascelles had a big chunk of culpability in the last two goals conceded before today too. the Coutinho goal I wouldn't say he had a big chunk of culpability. It was a poor clearance but we retained possession. The Ritchie clearance was worse still and I wouldn't even say he hada big chunk of culpability. It was a great goal. Lejeune & Clark have dropped absolute clangers though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Looked assured bar the mistake. Probably back on the bench until the next international break though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 He'll be fine. It was an annoying mistake but all defenders do that at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 So weird that. He looked totally imperious until making that daft challenge. You see defenders make that challenge so often though and really you have to wonder why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OoOGazOoO Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Shame for the lad because he played well today and brings a sense of calm and time to the defence, and the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 So weird that. He looked totally imperious until making that daft challenge. You see defenders make that challenge so often though and really you have to wonder why. Has to be instinct. Must be hard just to let someone go past you without doing anything knowing it's the right thing to do. Natural instinct would have been he thought he can nick the ball away.

You see defenders make that challenge so often though and really you have to wonder why. Ultimately it's poor decision making, which is the 'good' thing about it - in that it's the sort of thing that can and will be coached out. He's got the raw attributes, without a doubt.

Away Day Gadgie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 He played well apart from his error, but it was a pretty huge error to be fair. Absolutely no need to do it at all. I'd 100% have Clark back for the next game, he's proven over time to be a reliable player whereas Lejeune hasn't proven anything yet. Interested to see what Rafa does next week now.

sh74 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Don't think he'll lose his place, he was a Rafa signing and i just think Rafa was looking for an excuse to bring him back in to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Played well BUT was absolute stupidity for the penalty, however he isn't the first defender to do that and he won't be the last. It's a blip for now, if it happens again then it's time to worry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I don’t think he’ll lose his place and I don’t want him to, either. I like all 4 of our centre backs at the minute. It is a strange feeling, I must say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPL Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Yedlin make a mistake vs Stoke, which could have cost us 2 points. Clark made a mistake vs Liverpool, which could have cost us 1 point. Lejeune made a mistake vs Soto, which did cost us 2 points. Those are the fine margins, because it cost us points, people will remember it more. Thought he was solid otherwise. Great to see that we have good depth in defence at the minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 He did have a really solid game today outside of the brain fart but I would be shocked if Clark wasn't back versus Palace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
