Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
No doubt about that- said it earlier in the thread
If a defender makes a mistake that allows the other team to score, they've not played well in that game.
I'm no fan of dedryck but it was near on half way. The boy put a cracking shot on it. If he'd swiped it 10 yards wide it wouldn't have been an issue.

I thought Jozo came on to a game as it went on but at the start he allowed Goncalves to bully him a bit.

Can't believe he's not had more votes in the MOTM thread :o

Says it all when his thread has dropped to the foot of page 2. Thought he had another good game today/yesterday. More assured than Eric was on Wednesday.

I think he is competent, but I reckon Simunovic is the better player and BR will bring in another CB in the summer to play alongside Simunovic - Erik will be sold and Boyata will be our 3rd choice CB

I thought he played really well yesterday. His understanding and positional sense seem to be a lot better.

There were a few times when he closed down a Killie player, pressed them and instead of diving in like before and getting skinned, he waited on help from midfield to take over and got back into position.

I thought he was excellent yesterday. Every element of his game has improved and he has the physical attributes to become an excellent centre half. It seems BR is a fan and is obviously very happy with Boyata's attitude and application. I agree that we will see a new centre half arrive. But as this season has shown I'd expect all three to get regular run outs.

I think if we sign a centre half in the summer you will see us play three at the back quite often and Lustig will be the one to miss out then as a three exposes him a little like it did for the goal yesterday

He's a lot more than competent.
He lacked confidence in the past. Mentally,he seems like a new man.

He was my MOTM yesterday.

I'm a big fan of Erik however Boyata is in the team ahead of him on merit. Erik's loss of form coincided with Boyata's upsurgence. I still remember a few of Boyata's performances last year which still concerns me for the bigger games however but if he gives us rock solid peromance in the semi I'd probably then be fully on board with him.

Physically he looks a lot trimmer, and agile than before. Remember him saying that got addicted to the teadmill whilst he was out the team. Looks less cumbersome than before.

He has been outstanding since he returned to the team. People have got on board with Armstrong being turned around but when it comes to Boyata there seems to be a reluctance to do so.

Seem to say this after every game he plays recently but excellent again.
