There is a player in Boyata. Hopefully the new manager doesn't ask him to do things he isn't capable of. He isn't, and never will be, at Van Dijk's level of ability so why ask him to try the same things?

He doesn't need to be as good as the best centre back we've had in years.

Even being competent with the ball at his feet would be an improvement and he's not a good enough defender to cover for his total lack of footballing ability.

Agreed.

We should stop asking him to do things like pass a ball, or perform basic defensive duties, he's clearly not capable of them.

He's effing woeful and should be chased out the door. A shame really, as he has all the physical attributes to be a commanding centre half.

I would have zero confidence in him playing in any sort of important game for us, he looks terrified half the time.

Punt.

Totally agree - Remy has moved on from defending Ambrose to now defending Boyata? Strange, to say the least. Both need punted - pronto.

He's a woeful defender. It's just that he's even worse when the ball is at his feet. Very strong, great leap, good pace but no football brain or ability whatsoever.

A bit harsh. Remy's been here so long he's almost like part of the furniture.

I was one of those who called for Kelvin Wilson to be punted after his first season. The following one saw a big improvement. Willing to give Boyata a second chance.

Kelvin Wilson had ability. Boyata is like Bambi on ice. There is simply too much wrong with his game for him to suddenly come good. He makes Bobo look like Franco Baresi

If BR wants his defenders to play out from the back, then he should be first out the door.

If BR wants his defenders to keep it simple & just do the basics, then he should be first out the door.

He's up there with the very worst defenders I can remember us having & how anyone who witnessed that debacle against the huns can defend him, I don't know.

Boyata is a donkey. Should have been told he was leaving after shampooeing it against Sevco.

Boyata in the semi was an embarrassment. If he stays would to be proved long but I don't see it happening.

I think he can be a player for us.

He's strong, quick & chips in with the odd goal.

Let's give him a half season. He might improve.
