samptime29 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Honestly might be my favourite player now. His sliding tackles and positional sense are excellent. Such a likeable man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Good to see him getting the recognition, finally. He’s genuinely a distance ahead of the other CBs I’ve seen at NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schar clearly called him out for the fraud he is. Imagine playing Clark Lascelles and Kraft in a back 3 leaving Schar on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, quite a lot of his game stands out. The mad runs he goes on, his shooting, his long passes, the fact he gets smashed round the head every game. But of late, it is his slide tackles that have stood out. He's been squared up and beat for pace down the line a few times the last week or two. Yet always seems to time his challenge to perfection and get the man and ball, without giving away a blatant foul and yellow card. He's also extremely aggressive stepping into the opposition's half and winning it back with a crunching tackle. There was one on Saturday and of course his goal against PSG started with a beaut of a smash from him. Lascelles is incredibly passive and unsure of himself in comparison. Which is strange, as he isn't that slow once he gets going, faster than Schar I'd say and would dominate most players physically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Lascelles isn't a clean tackler and generally doesn't move his feet well. Schar can anticipate a slide tackle 2 or 3 beats away from actually needing to do it so he's in the right position. Lascelles is forever trying to sort his legs out. They swapped sides towards the end too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Our most consistent player, which is frankly remarkable when you consider how many pivotal last ditch tackles he’s involved in and how many creative passes he makes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinky Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Not that it really matters, but he still doesn't get much recognition from the wider media. Perhaps its because he's Swiss? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Definitely gets rested on Wednesday and I’m happy that’s the case because we need him for the big games coming up - he’s a colossus and vital to the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexMaggy Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) Just noticed on Fpl they have yellow flagged him with illness as cause. Wondered why he wasn't on bench at Man U Have we got anyone left? Edited November 4, 2023 by SR16 add Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe said in the Arsenal presser yesterday that he was "a bit under the weather," and when asked directly if he would be fit for Arsenal said "we'll see how he is today."
