Kanji Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Seems perfectly content putting in the work and if he's not picked, he'll be ready to step into the side if need-be. He seems just genuinely chuffed to be playing for his boyhood club and will step in and do the job as needed. Can see him taking Botman under his wing too a bit to settle in.

Even if Botman and Schar is the preferred back two he will play a massive part next season I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miercoles Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Surprised this thread hasn't been bumped, this fella was immense today. Just so cool in the tight spots, he had a couple tricky 1v1 situations and both times he calmly dispossessed the attacker and recycled the ball, like "what were you worried about?" Really backed up Eddie's decision to start him in my opinion, was very good throughout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aim for him, there were 3-4 good opportunities and his headers were weak as piss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 That bit where he compensated for his pace with awesome positioning to win the ball back was fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Mad how much of this guys career was in lower leagues. Really weird how that happened you would think he would stick out like a sore thumb for more than his ridiculous height. I guess most scouts saw he was really tall and thought there's classic lower league clogger defender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 His and Schar's mutual understanding is really good, the way one will arrive to sweep up after the other goes in for a tackle or header. Botman is gonna have a job displacing either of them imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Thought he was outstanding yesterday, like, and I would've been one of the people who would've just stuck Botman straight in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 He was great yesterday as he was for most of the games he played for us last season. His knowledge of our next opponents might see him start again, it just depends on what Eddie Howe wants. Botman hasn’t come to play second fiddle to anyone though, be interesting to see when Eddie Howe begins to phase him in. I can honestly see us going 3 at the back at some stage, we were so comfortable yesterday, Burn can do the Targett job. That also might be how you add someone like Maddison to the team without sacrificing an existing midfield dynamic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
