Big Wes appreciation

[Ian Nacho]

Thought this yesterday. Had a shaky start of the season but has been solid for the last month or so.

Soyuncu and Benkovic disagree, Morgan can’t keep going forever but we have Maguire and the 2 young lads and Evans has a couple of years left, the trick will be managing the transition from experienced Morgan to the new breed.

 

Oh and don’t forget Benalouane 

We also have Hughes, Knight, Pasc and Darnell (if he ups his game) in the academy. Our academy is choc-a-bloc of promising centre halves. And we have Amartey as a decent backup centre half too. Centre half is probably our best covered position in the team. You're right about Maguire. He's kept his runs to a minimum the last few matches due to the opposition and Morgan has looked a lot better.

Age isn’t an issue if he continues to be crucial in the dressing room and out on the pitch

Always has given his best. Main reason for his *blip* in form was the lack of protection in front of him. In this new system we don't see him, or any of the other centre backs, getting exposed for pace or getting booked for tackles in full back areas. Another good reason to applaud the newly adopted playing style.    

I do agree with this but in fairness, he's been better for a while now.

 

Bar the shambles at Bournemouth, which I thought was tactical suicide from Puel, we've actually defended a lot better this season. I stated it in another thread but we've only conceded one equalising goal all season.

 

Morgan's proven me wrong this season. I thought he was done but he's keeping the others out on merit these days. He's having a good season and fair play to the bloke.

Since the helicopter accident the bloke has been a hero. Off the pitch he has galvanised the players and shown unbelievable leadership in what must have been the most difficult period of anyone's career. On the pitch he has been a collosus and looked backed to his best and well deserving of being the first name on the teamsheets and being offered a new one year deal.

Hope he ends his career with us and will go down as our best ever centre half and captain.

How he’s not had an England cap is a joke.

He saved us a couple of times yesterday whereas Maguire looked all over the place defensively on a few occasions.

Don’t believe you

Steve Walsh/John Sjoberg/Graham Cross/ Matt Elliot/Frank McClintock - we have had a few tidy CH‘s in our time.
