Has all the attributes to be a top class centre half.

Strolled it last night.

I thought he'd take weeks to get match fit but he strolled that as he did on saturday

Strong, dominant, quick accurate one and two touch passing

He was magnificent

Some differences when you have two actual centre halves together

He's really starting to look like a top class player. I'm thinking he might be the next guy to be rewarded with an improved contract.
I'm sure I read a few days ago BR said he was next in line to get improved terms. :thumbsup:

What McLeish doesn't know about how to judge a good player you could write a book he couldn't read about.

Some players take a number of games to be fully tuned up after a lengthy layoff but the big man slotted in at Dundee as if he'd never been away and followed up with another solid showing a few days later v sevco. Last night he was terrific.

Went back to page 50 or so for a look. Seriously, what is the point in having an opinion on a football player when Brendan Rodgers exists?

As beautiful as it is, it annoyed me last night.

He did all the hard work to take an attacker out of their pressing shape (one of the ultimate aims of keep-ball), then immediately undid it all by passing it back :lol:

Can we get a lookalike for the Belgian manager to sit in the stand every week? :ph43r:

Unreal display considering he's only back from injury. Him and Jozo kept the ship steady in the first half when they didn't let the heebie-jeebies apparently affecting their team-mates get to them.

They seemed to deal with everything that came their way, got their offside trap spot on and distributed the ball calmly and simply.

I see what you're saying, but I think this is exactly what BR means when he says players shouldn't be embarrassed to keep the ball. He could have made a pass inside to Ntcham or Brown, yes, but they are risky passes, the safe ball that guarantees possession is the pass backwards.

You can see from our first goal the value in that, multiple backward passes until the sure thing is on then bang, goal.

Not comparing us to Barca, but that's exactly what I used to watch all the time when Peps team were in their prime. Rarely played the risky pass, kept the ball for ages until opponent opened up then cut them open. Barca obviously have players who can do that to anyone, and often we will not succeed in the incisive part because we're not good enough, but I think that's certainly what we're trying to emulate.

You found all my old posts on him then. Genuinely thought he was one of the worst centre halves Ive ever seen for us. Im not changing my opinion on that, because at the time he was. He was dreadful.

In the last 12 months he has been brilliant, culminating in last night. He's going to eat Lewandowski for dinner in the Allianz. :rocker:
