Excellent performance, had everything. Composure, bravery, won every header and didn't fuck about with his distribution. Also liked the fact he was the talker and organiser of the defence and midfield today. Can't put a price on intangibles like that. Think we've saved a fortune getting him in so cheaply :)

If this is the level we can expect from him most games, we've got ourselves a fantastic defender here. We've been crying out for a defender that tries to find team mates with headers, probably since Woodgate, as it will relieve so much pressure on our back line simply by retaining possession in our own half.

Was being so good with knocking it down to a Teammate as well in the first half, not just heading it anywhere.

 

Absolutely bang on.  He was so quick to shift the ball with his passing and wasn't afraid to play to a forward to someone who had a close opponent.  Such a refreshing change from us either having 2 donkeys who are slow and negative in possession or just having Schar who can play it a bit.  Imagine next season when we get 2 CBs who can pass the ball :lol:  Gonna be like watching a different sport.

 

You're spot on about his heading as well.  Wasn't just going in to win the ball - he directed everything.  Probably helps when you're a giant.

He’s very elegant on the ground as well, covers a lot of distance very smoothly. 

 

was the biggest thing for me. hard to believe he's 6'7. looked easily our most athletic CB, can understand now why hes been used as an auxiliary LB at times in his career.

Would send a weird message out. When it seems like he has been rewarding players who are starting on the winning team. Plus he was MOTM. 

 

Hoping it may be a bit of luck that Lascelles had to sit out. Otherwise who knows what happens today and when Burn would even come in.
