Thomas?

First game back following a hamstring injury after pocketing Salah, the majority of fans considered he was one of the better players yet a few still think he’s not up to it.

This is what is great about football and peoples differing views. For what it’s worth in my opinion (bias of course) it wasn’t his best game but how he has his own thread to be taken off after the absolute shower of shit that some of the senior players put in I will never know.

Absolute spot on. If we just had another couple of players with his heart & will to win his personal duels we’d be much better as a team.
 
Looked lightweight.
Great interception on the goal line 1st half saved a certain goal.
Might need a season in the Championship like KDH.
 
Just to clarify, my original post was "why are you taking Thomas off as he is doing a decent job, instead of that useless stick man fucker.

Sorry for any confusion.

PS, Take old Sticky off, JJ in alongside Soysauce, Thomas remains at full back, much tighter.
 
Fair point Hackney, but I feel in this case it would have best served the team for JJ to stand alongside Soy and just boot/head the fucker away, a simple task that stickman seems unable to carry out to any degree of success !!!

That would then leave Thomas to run up and down the line.

And this thread is exactly why I call bollocks to the "we will always get behind and support our own" nonsense you hear.

One average game when he was probably rushed back too soon and people already calling for him to be outed.

Once Justin is match fit Thomas will get a well earnt rest.

So where would Choudhury go then unless you're still going three at the back and still having Thomas and Albrighton as wing backs

That makes sense when I read it back I obviously misunderstood and assumed ‘stick’ was because he’s a bit lightweight.

They wouldn’t allow him to go on loan, I know a few have mentioned it may benefit him. When he wasn’t in the side earlier in the season I thought it would be good for him but he seems to have kicked on a bit over the last few months so I doubt sitting in the championship will help him develop to be honest.

With JJ back we shall see how it goes, he shouldn’t be playing every week but needs game time to continue to progress.

One big thing to highlight is that in my opinion he is a better LB than LWB he links up well with KDH, Barnes and Lookman. I think in time he could become a LWB but he’s still learning. The arsenal home game highlighted this as he has a shocking first half at LWB and then was put into LB in the second half and was better.

Still all a bit surreal but he’s loving it and so are the family.
 
Personally I think Thomas is a great upcoming young talent, still raw, still learning as I'm sure he'd be the first to admit. I hope he can have a long and successful career with us. No player can be an 8, 9 or 10 every week.

I'd prefer that we took no chances with JJ until we know he's back at his best, leave him on the left unless he tells BR that he's happy to play CB.
 
I think with Evans coming to the end of his career and with Vestergaard hopefully off to the knackers yard to be used for glue, I think JJ would make a great CB especially in a 3. He’s strong, good with both feet and can pass. Why not?

He's looked good when he's played CB, just don't want him overstretching to make up for another Soyuncu mistake.

He's been excellent when he's played that position. Personally when everyone is fit I'll go for a back three of Amartey, Fofana and JJ.
