Never noticed anything wrong with his distribution today (?) In fact I thought Bitton and Forrest were more guilty...........I realise I'm probably wrong as I seem to be in the minority. Again thought he was class.
The one really bad mishampoo pass he seemed to signal it was a rut on the park as he hit it.

He did fine - As Rodgers said the jersey is his just now.

We've conceded 2 goals in 7 games in all of 2017 which is when he came into the team.

We weren't exactly leaking goals beforehand.

Boyata was fine today as was his passing. Folk are just being hyper critical or worrying about him returning to poorer form.

Yeah agree with that

Think the boy looks solid not a great passer but good imposing defender

He's doing well, I'll certainly put my hands up as one of those very wary of what he's capable of but he's thankfully proved me wrong so far. Long may it continue.

The big man had another excellent game. Was good to hear the green brigade singing his song also.

thought he was excellent today. won every challenge on the deck and in the air

2 dodgy passes which last season he might have crumbled after but didnt affect him at all and got better as game went on

He had another brilliant game. Erik and Nir's timing of their jumps was off today. Not a bit of it with Dedryk, calm and in control at the back.

Yup. A bit dodgy early on but soon strolled it.

Agree with this. Thought at one point that the resurgence was finished :lol:
He definitely came on to a game, same as a lot of the players.

I just can't believe my eyes with the transformation with this guy.

I'm actually starting to suspect that Rodgers graduated from Hogwarts.

I'm dying to see who we sign in the summer. Can see our more experienced signings being from the Sinclair/Boyata mould - done it in the past or had potential but never got a sniff and fallen away. There must be plenty of players like that kicking about.

Brendan the Resurrector. :pray:

Whatever anybody's opinion is, there's no denying the big man has made notable improvement. Can he sustain it and make further headway is a question that we should be better placed to answer at the end of the season. Centre back pairings are normally a mainstay of good teams and are rarely changed throughout the season but at this time our top pairing is debatable. Depending on events in the summer, the debate might intensify.

In the meantime we are watching a player, the vast majority of us on here didn't expect to feature much again, if at all, playing well.

Centre back has been incredibly interesting this year.

O'Connell started very impressively and was unfortunate to lose his place and then disappear from contention.

Toure looked like our best signing and now is lucky to feature on the bench.

Simunovic looked out the door and then suddenly became first choice.

Boyata was nowhere before becoming an automatic pick.

Sviatchenko has arguably been our most consistent defender and yet isn't guaranteed a place.

So much change and so many turnarounds.

Efe Ambrose to get back in and captain us to the treble. You heard it here first!

We were discussing this yesterday -

Boyata is best a rhs cb and as Brendan says "has the jersey" and I don't see him losing it anytme soon the way he is playing.

Simunovic is also best at rhs cb and not so good when he is on the left.

Svaitchencko was deservedly dropped after Snake Mountain - A warning he has to up his game - He comes back in and is playing very well again and he can play on the lhs.

Simunovic is highly rated by Brendan but he (Brendan) is on record he wants another CB in - Quite possibly something in Remy's take on matters re Jozo.
