Wonder if this will be a lesson for people

 

Yuuuuurs.

 

It's the same every transfer window. Gluttons for punishment.

3 more good games than Lloyd fucking Kelly ever had for us [emoji38]

Kelly wasn't nowhere near as bad as people made out, poor in that West Ham game and he was effectively written off. He's doing very well for Juve now days so I'm happy for him, but Thiaw has looked a lot better than him that's for sure so it all worked out

Kelly was about as average as it gets. He offered nothing.

The club should get credit for scouting a player and he's still good a year or two later surely?


Yea. And I’d say hopefully we have conviction to make the moves earlier moving forward if the talent is there.

Love his calmness in possession. Schar has unbelievable passes in his locker, with Thiaw it feels more consistent if not as explosive.

 

Very impressive start here in all aspects.

Schar didn't at first, it was when he was bedded in and knew the games/runs of his team mates. It may well come in time for Thiaw.

Unconditional trust. Mutual, likewise, reciprocated

 

The reason I said he had potential was because if Eddie Howe wastes good time and money looking for it - and he can see it's definitely not in Thiaw - Howe doesn't wanna be sued 'cos Thiaw hasn't got it.

 

So joeyt's not gonna get me on that

I mean, my post in that is fair. 

I don’t mean to dig you out, but pretty sure I replied to a post of yours in this thread after you claimed that Thiaw would never be a long term starter for us.

It’s a bit early for ‘got ya’ moments. I wouldn’t discount Elanga for a slow start or bank Thiaw as brilliant now. But he’s been rock solid and has all the tools. Long may it continue. 

 

It wasn't a got ya, it was more of a trust Eddie and the scouting team who won us a cup and two Champions League finishes before claiming they don't know what they're doing

Schar has the cross-field diagonal in his locker but I feel like Thiaw sees the midfield/forward line breaking pass more often, and plays it. So far he’s showed a tendency to play a ‘round the corner’ pass into midfield when the ball is played to him quickly from the right and he’s under close pressure.

 

The reason I came in here, though, was to highlight a pass he played through the forward and midfield line into Elanga on around 75 mins. 9 out of 10 CBs keep the ball moving right to Trippier, and then Trippier plays to Elanga when Forest have had time to move over. Thiaw sees it and plays it really sharply and accurately. It’s passing at least as good as Botman at his best. Absolutely loved to see it.

He's been much better than I was expecting. Comfortable on the ball, good in the air, good pace... I think he'll get goals too. Says a lot that he seems to have already taken his chance to take Schars place who's been brilliant the last couple of years
