Checko Posted November 5, 2025 Share Posted November 5, 2025 He is very good at centre backing. Hope Botman's over his injuries and signs a new contract cause they could be a great partnership for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funtime Frankie Posted November 5, 2025 Share Posted November 5, 2025 Motm for me. 4 quality long balls. So composed with the ball and his reading of the game is amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One's huge one's fast and they can both play the ball, sounds good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted November 6, 2025 Share Posted November 6, 2025 There was a moment when Botman got turned and their player was through on goal and he just casually and calmly moved in to block the shot as if it was nothing. Really enjoying his performances so far and long may that continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhog63 Posted November 6, 2025 Share Posted November 6, 2025 Based solely on my prior knowledge of this guy coming from here and 'X', he's been a revelation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fak Posted November 6, 2025 Share Posted November 6, 2025 He's been here 5 minutes and he's already got the 70-yard Fabian Schar diagonal down to a tee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted November 6, 2025 Share Posted November 6, 2025 I love his passes into midfield but great to see some longer passing come out last night. When they were pressing us well in the first half, it was almost like we forgot we could go long in those situations rather than trying to continually play through. They seemed much more hesitant to press once we started doing this more, but it could've just been that they were knackered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted November 6, 2025 Share Posted November 6, 2025 Certainly nowhere near as bad as Bramble. Needs a few more good performances to put him ahead of Boumsong and Caçapa though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted November 6, 2025 Share Posted November 6, 2025 (edited) I doubted him, but he’s looking good. Bit of a rash defender IMO, but it feels that’s needed as part of his game. Like a Romero type when they get super tight, 9/10 they will win the ball so you just have to accept that one time they don’t will look cumbersome.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted November 6, 2025 Share Posted November 6, 2025 He’s so good at anticipating where the ball may drop or how the attacking pattern of play may develop. Even more impressive is how he never shows complacency, even when an attack may be fizzling out, he’s there anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack14Bojangles Posted November 6, 2025 Share Posted November 6, 2025 Nagelsmann isn't blind after all. Thiaw (3 caps) is back in the national squad for the first time since 2023 for the two matches on November 14th and 17th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted November 6, 2025 Share Posted November 6, 2025 I know sometimes last ditch blocks are not fashionable and it can highlight poor positioning or an earlier mistake. But made two last night that weren’t even his side. He is pretty quick once he gets going. Very aggressive with how he presses. Possibly our best passer between the lines. Only real weakness I’ve seen so far is him being a bit rash when he is caught up the field and out of position. To think there was a bit of a mixed reaction to the signing and Milan fans went on like they’d had us over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
