Sir Joel Inton Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 That first half was like his YouTube scouting report before we signed him. Hopefully it’ll be a one off and he was just off it tonight. That first goal what the fuck was he doing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Just now, duo said: Looked like he slipped He doesn't like. He just starts an attempt to kick the ball then just stops. Like his brain just BSOD'd and disconnected from his body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 He had a stinker, other than today he's been ridiculously good for us. The result means we can brush it under the carpet. Feel bad for him but confident he'll only get stronger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Can forgive him I’m sure, he’s played every minute of every game for a couple of months. Must be shattered, shame we cannot give him a rest Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Yeah probably needed a rest in hindsight. Was having an all time shocker. Everything he did was way off it. I know it's hard for a player to be hooked at halftime like that but I think it was best for him and us that we did. Hopefully he got all his errors out the way in one game and can return to his exceptional form for the next one as we are gonna need him now as our only fit right footed cb.

TheBrownBottle Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 It likely doesn’t take much for a PL-quality player to be off - when you’re at that level, a really small level of exhaustion or concentration reduction is liable to have negative consequences. I was critical of his debut vs Liverpool for concentration lapses - happily, he’s made me look like an over-worrying wanker this season, and has been first class in pretty much every game he’s played this season. We all know we needed a ball-playing CB in there; the lad has that, he’s a proper footballer. I think this is one of those transfers that Howe and his team nailed - every player will have an ‘off-day’ unless they’re on the Messi-level. If he has several performances like that in a row - then yes, Howe should hook the lad. There’s no arguing he was shite today - but let’s not crucify him.

Pata Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 4 hours ago, Wallsendmag said: Seems to cost us a lot mind. Liverpool, Chelsea, tonight x 2. I like him but he costs a lot of goals. That's just a fact. That’s four goals after playing almost every game all season and I can’t blame him for the Liverpool goal. He had a shocker today but no need to rewrite history, he had directly made one costly mistake all season before tonight which is ridiculous form in a new tough league. We really need him to bounce back quickly though with both Burn and Schär. At least the next match comes quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I was concerned this type of performance would be regular. He’s had 1 bad game and a few bad moments in about 20. I’ll take it if that’s the ratio. Was all time bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I think he was bullied by DCL a bit and the early yellow affected quite a lot. Positive that he didnt see red. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Glad we won for his sake. He can now go into training and be ripped by his teammates for that first goal, and it brushed off as a laugh and forget. Mind back on how he’s mostly been for us, which is strong at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first goal was just a slip, that could happen regardless of who he was up against. The second might not even be a legitimate penalty. There's no way to tell since they refused to show any other angle which could have cleared up whether DCL knocked Thiaw's arm. Thiaw did have a shaky game but there's not a defender on our books who hasn't had bad days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the fact that Thiaw’s baseline with us has been an 8/10 or 8.5/10 should be talked about way more. He’s pocketed better CFs than DCL.
