Jimfanciesthedude 24,359 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I, amongst others, have been critical of him so far, before the weekend he has looked slow, cumbersome, slack on the ball, not good enough etc, but saturday he deserves enormous credit for putting in a near flawless performance, his tackling was spot on, he read the game well, if he played like that every week there would be no complaints, We sometimes forget as well that he isnt even 22 yet, lerxst, davidallan95 and Zappa6995 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent will have a better career with us as he'll be lucky to even make Liverpool's cup games bench and that's not a slight on him. Ejaria is the epitome of the young modern day footballer. PS4's, mobile phones and pampered to fuck to the point they can't hack leaving mummys tit to be a few hours up the road.

jjbscotty12 3,558 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Playing him left centre back with goldson right centre back is a massive difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogzy 31,195 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Some of his tackling was immense. If Him and Goldson keep playing like that, then they should be our CB pairing for the rest of the season. Having a stable, consistent CB pairing is important, not a fan at all of rotating the CB's. If they are fit, and in form, they should be playing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcf 33,940 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Thought he's played well the last 2/3 games , certainly knows how to header a ball out the box , and on occasion quite a commanding CH , as he was on Saturday .

Laudrupsleftfoot 10,586 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Loved his "FUCK OFF" in Forrest's face when the ball broke to no-neck after Halliday's block on Ntcham's shot.

TopCat 4,511 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 He has shut me up with that performance......he really has.......... I've been one of his most harsh critics on here....... but no one is more pleased than me that he turned in such a commanding performance. Hope he continues to silence all his critics with similar displays this season. TBagalag and Rum Ham 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
To Be A Ranger 4,032 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Excellent in the air but has me worried every time I see his name in the side. But against them he had a great game. If he now keeps his standard high and no longer dilly dallies on the ball I'll look forward to seeing him in the team. Keep it up big man.

Rum Ham 2,051 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Even the Hibs game he was pretty solid. I would have had Tav or Worrall as motm, but anyone could have had it in the squad. They've well and truly seen what it means to us after that, hoping they are as hyped to beat every other cunt in the second half of the season.
