Optimistic Nut Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Florian Lejeune Florian Lejeune Florian Lejeune Florian Lejeune To my surprise, 6 foot 3 inch high! He's good with a football, brings it down, he doesn't hoof Fans are screaming! He's in control. It was so entertaining when the crowd started to explode I heard somebody say Florian Lejeune Mi-kel Me-ree-noooo Florian Lejeune Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshire Mag Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Reminds me of Willo. I said exactly the same before his injury. Looked like he was scared of the ball and just hoofed it away. Looks a different player since he’s come back into the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 It's already been mentioned, about his lack of pace being compensated by his anticipation and reading of the game. two attributes that depend heavily on knowledge of the league you're in. It's no surprise that he has taken time to show his quality on a consistent level. Actually, considering his long absence, he's done remarkably.

Away Day Gadgie Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Over the moon he seems to be coming good as he looked like a liability earlier in the season. I thought Clark was a better option a few months ago, certainly don’t mind being wrong when it means the team are benefitting. Long may it continue.

Wallsendmag Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 We look very solid at the back now with him coming in and forging a good partnership with Lascelles. Obviously the new keeper coming in has helped massively as well, as has Dummetts return but even Yedlin has looked far better defensively in recent weeks.

Benwell Lad Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Looks like a very good defender who reads the game well, is comfortable on the ball and good in pressure situations. Shouldn't really be a surprise as he was also excellent in La Liga. That horrible tackle and injury in the first game certainly set him back but he now looks back to his best.

Odear Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I had him as our motm yesterday. Yes he looks miles better since he came back into the team but he also has Dummett playing too. Any defender would look shaky having to cover for Manquillo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I never had him down as a liability but he did have some adapting to do and the injury didn’t help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Didn't see yesterday but he's been canny since returning. Shows how much the centre half partnership matters, looked a mess beside Clark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I haven't seen the full match but he looked like the main man at the back from the highlights. I really like him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 lascelles is like woodgate in the sense that any defender alongside him plays better and looks more confident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I haven't seen the full match but he looked like the main man at the back from the highlights. I really like him. He and Lascelles just pair so well together they both honestly look capable of snuffing out all types of danger when they play like they did yesterday.

pinkeye Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Tragically England's Harry Kane seems to have suffered more serious ankle ligament damage than first thought. Pity it wasn't Lejeune that dealt the "perfectly fair" tackle to inflict it. 🤢🤢 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Chuffed with how he's turning out. Had a mini-wobble after his first comeback but him and Lascelles seem the perfect pair. I think you could build a top 8 team with those two in defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could build a top 8 team with those two in defence. He's improved massively since being re-installed, I agree that that pair is very strong and a great basis for us for the future.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 His lack of pace does concern me, but Lascelles has more than enough and it’s not like we ever get outnumbered or kind of overran back there. He’s a comfortable and solid enough CB for us right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Always felt Lascelles was fairly slow himself. At least when I first saw him play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Always felt Lascelles was fairly slow himself. At least when I first saw him play. He’s not rapid, but he’s quick. Anyway give me a CB that is quicker in the head any day... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontenacity Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 This guy just seems to go about his business very effectively. Always a good sign when your CB is rarely a major talking point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
