Wolfcastle Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 23 minutes ago, KDT said: Not his best game but still how many 22 year old centre halves are starting in this league. 22, mind blowing, which itself is a big commentary and compliment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I have always held a candle for Woodgate as the best CH I have seen play for us but man this lad is so so good, I love him more and more with every passing game. Never seems to make a mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 There's not a single CB out there I'd swap him for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 He’s an absolute unit, reads the game so well too. His transfer fee is absolutely cheap.. for his potential. Him and Pope and obviously Tripps have added such calmness to the back line.. it allows Schär and Burn to do their thing and know someone will be there to cover for them if they mess up.

CPL Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Some of his and Schar's crossfield balls were lush. Make it look so easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guehi at Palace and Collins at Wolves is 21, but very very shit player though, big part of why they are where they are on the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Don't remember much of him all game I guess that's the sign of an assured defender, still adapting to the league but certainly unphased by it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Thought his tackling was very good but he was beaten in the air a couple of times by DCL. Don’t think it was the jump as much as upper body strength. Pretty sure he’ll work on addressing that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 He seemed shocked he didnt beat DCL to the ball for his header over the bar. I like that, you know he's going to use it. Smart lad, he's going to be mint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more just simple body positioning, there's not a fucking chance that DCL has better upper body strength than Sven. DCL has quite a good leap and is explosive and does have very good strength but Sven is easily one of the strongest in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixx Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 He’s a lot less blood and thunder than I imagined. Seems to have a great understanding of positioning, doesn’t need to dive in a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Tells you something that players are pinging 40 yards passes regularly and I have no clue which fucker has done it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I have been impressed by the way he wins the ball when it gets stuck under the opposition's feet. He has the knack the same way Bruno does of coming out with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Whats been weird is how under the radar he seems to have gone in the national press, been lots of praise for Trippier, Bruno, Pope even Schar, but no-one seems to be taking note of this absolute man mountain.

Lazarus Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I think this reputation for being slow and not having much pace is because he is so composed and has a great sense of positioning. Seems to be totally unflappable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 You guys need to chill out We can't want good players and then get pissed off when they get called up for international duty. It's a great sign that he's been called up and that Newcastle have allowed him to take this next step. Other players will be noticing this sort of stuff.
