TRon Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Carlos was said to be amazed at the offer we put to him to triple his wages. I wonder why we went in so big straight away? I mean he'd probably have been over the moon if we doubled them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dummett with Lewis at LB. Dummett and Trippier are both good talkers and could talk Carlos and Lewis through games, plus we'd have pace right across the back line.

Fede should come straight back in anyway when he's fit, he's not as fragile mentally as Lascelles, and I don't really think Schar cares enough.

Lazarus Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Theres probably an argument for Lascelles, Schar and Fede to be the partner tbh. Lascelles simply because hes captain. Schar because his ball playing ability might compliment Carlos's shithousery. Fede because hes got a bit of both. Howe will probably stick with Lascelles.

No argument to keep Lascelles in there for me, his performances have been a disgrace and has zero leadership qualities, drop him and make Trippier captain.

Easier said than done. Stripping Lascelles of captain might cause ructions in the squad and we dont know what, if any, promises Howe made to Lascelles about his captaincy. Last thing we need at the moment is a divided dressing room on top of all our other problems. I think Lascelles does have leadership skills, hes demonstrated them many times before, but yes, hes poor at the moment and needs to step up in terms of how he performs as a defender and as captain. I dont know, maybe Howe can persuade him to voluntarily give it to Trippier for the 'greater good'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I think dropping him is fine, I think stripping him of the captaincy would be stupid and counter productive. If he’s on the bench he doesn’t get the armband, that should be Wilson imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMark Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Zero chance Lascelles is dropped unless we get two CBs in this window. Howe won’t drop him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Man Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Hard to see Lascelles being stripped of captaincy, given situation we are in with players worrying about their futures and the impending influx of new/better players it would almost certainly cause some sort of blow back from rest of squad - especially if given to a relative newcomer in Trippier (even if Trippier is better suited to it). Lascelles is still doing his best but he's just shit these days, not like the situation with PEA at Arsenal where he was also playing like shit but his general attitude also merited getting stripped of captaincy and dropped.

sixx Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I'd be inclined to put him in a back three along with Schar and Lascelles. Trippier and Ritchie (meh) as wing backs. A new midfielder behind Shelvey and Joelinton. Saint-Maximin in a free role and Wood (meh) up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. He had a poor game in general on Saturday, but it was noticeable he was the one who ended up challenging two players on their goal while others were stood around watching. He's not that different from Clark tbh, neither of them lack for effort, they just aren't good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
