I think he deserves a chance under the instruction of BR. Still believe most of his mistakes last season came through being instructed to try and dribble/pass out of defence, getting into trouble using bloody Cruyff turns and the likes.

He turned in some solid performances when he played to his strengths, no nonsense, row z stuff. He is also probably our best/only goal threat from defence aswell.
Sviatchenko and Jozo have both scored in what little they played. Jozo in particular looked a threat with shots from distance, as well as set pieces.

The way the manager plays, he needs the centre halves to be able to play the ball. Not a hoofer.

Both Boyata and Ambrose are major liabilities and should be emptied, if we can get money for them.
I forgot about Jozo hitting good long distance shots.

Is he going to be our DCM?

According to wiki Boyata has only scored 4 goals. I thought it was more tbh.
Ah well, still deserves a chance IMO.

My own assessment, I thought he was poor defensively in the air. He may be a better RB, who knows. My confidence ebbed with how many crosses and set plays we lost goals. I'm glad we have experience in Erik and Kolo.

I think like all players, he will be assessed by the new manager.

I think he's another player who probably had potential but has been ruined by spending too long at Man City instead of leaving to get games. He's 4 or 5 years older than some of his teammates who are have similar amounts of experience.

They have a good youth system up to the point where they never give their youth players a chance, but hold on to them into their mid 20s. Rodgers seems like the kind of guy who tries to reinvigorate careers of players like this, so it will be interesting.

Roberts will almost certainly suffer the same fate - look at how many players they have in his position - although Pep is more likely to give such guys a chance I guess.

He's very jittery on the ball, something you don't really want in your last line of defence
The keeper's your last line of defence
The last line before the last line :ph43r:

Anyways he's pish

I think calling Dedryk Boyata one-footed is perhaps overly kind.

I would get rid of boyata asap. He offers very little to the team. O'Connell deserves a chance ahead of him.

Surprised to get such a dud from Man City. Maybe he was carrying an injury all the time.
BR obviously sees something in him. Time will tell.
( Was always dangerous hen he went up for set pieces).
Time will tell.

Has all the attributes to be a top defender and yet...

...thought he lacked a desire and hunger to go and dominate his opponents at times last year. His passing was poor but maybe he was being asked to do too much. Got ragdolled by Miller against Zombies.

Going to have to do well to beat Touré and Sviatchenko to a start IMO.

A total haddy.

How can anyone think there is some sort of player or untapped potential waiting to be prised out of there?

The fact he somehow managed to get a call up for Belgium should help us get a couple of million for this diddy from some EPL or Championship team.
