All our CB's are vastly overrated but I think this chap is the most overrated out of them all. He's a shadow of the player he used to be - not completely his fault considering how our physio department has handled his recovery, but still.

Agreed. New contract looks premature.

There was just absolutely no need. Why give the ref even a chance to consider a penalty in that situation. It's clearly a foul, often not given, but it's absolute idiocy to pull someone's shirt like that in the box

This lad was class when he first came - unfortunately since his ACL injury he's been very stop/start - hasn't been able to get a run of games. He's also coming into a poor Newcastle side.  Midfield is giving the back four no protection.

At a princely 6ft I’m the tallest member of my teams back line which often means I’m marking the opposition’s tallest player. I might do some

pulling when no one’s looking but if I’m a good deal taller than the lad I’m marking and it’s a fucking throw in, I don’t really need to grab a handful of them. Moronic.

I think in a normal season, or even in a match we didn’t lose, people would be a bit more level headed about Botman today. Largely very good and then had 1 second of madness. He’s very clear got hold of him because he’s expecting the attacker to back into him and doesn’t realise quickly enough the attacker is going short. Massive mistake but he’s still a very good centre back for us and will be for long time.

I was surprised he was given a new contract tbh. I bet he’s on decent money as well.

Didn't want to let yet another player we've paid money for walk away was the driving factor I think.

Just watched the lowlights to see who I could apportion the primary blame to for their second. I'm now looking at you, Sven.

This lad was awesome in the LC Semi at the Emirates; hadn’t played for a while and was unbelievable.

Fast forward and he looks finished, his body has given up and he’s lost his confidence.

Ramsdale for me.

Standard floated ball to the back post that he's rooted to his line for. There's definitely an argument that Pope goes for it and fucks up, but I cannot stand 'keepers that stay on their line like Ramsdale does, it's probably the number one thing I need to see in a 'keeper to think they're good.

I thought this lad was going to be an absolute top tier centre back, our best ever. The injuries seem to have affected his confidence and judgement, which he couldn’t afford with his lack of pace. Massive shame. Hopefully it turns around

He's fine if he doesn't have to move. Unfortunately in this league he is gonna get found out time and again. 

 

Shadow of the player he once was.

He's far from the worst of our problems but I feel like he's still dining out on his imperious 22/23 season. He's very overrated, as are all our CBs, by and large
