Vestergaard signs

[Frank Large's Black Book]

Well I only saw the last 25 minutes but he didn't worry me, considering.

 

I will say that judging by this lot of comments, Perez must be pleased he's here

[ARM1968]

People don’t want to hear it but until Brendan conquers his fear he won’t get to the next level and nor will we. 
 

Any half decent team would have battered us 2nd half with the decision to sit back. We had the players on the bench to worry Wolves. Instead Brendan pressed the ‘Hold On’ button. 
 

He IS a good manager, but he could be a GREAT manager IF he conquers his fears.

He's a back up so he should be judges as a cheap back up. But Southampton fans were saying exactly the same things as people on here are worried about.

Am I the only one who thinks he did alright?

 

His passing looked good few crucial blocks and a couple good tackles.

 

Yes a couple of missed headers but look, the guy hasn't had a preseason I think he literally had 1 Training session since the euros and litterally subbed onto a game where we was on the back foot 24hrs later.

 

Didn't concede a goal while he was playing so in my eyes that's just as good as a striker getting a goal on his debut.

thought he did well apart from the missed header

Criticism of Vestergaard after 30 minutes is completely ridiculous. He came.on when we were under the cosh and we were carrying a number of players whose legs had gone. The guy did fine. He showed in one or two touches that he is a class ball playing centre back and far better than Amartey (who nearly cost us two goals).

Typical to be honest. Judge him after 10-15 games, not minutes. The guy is decent. Give him time.

I'm certainly not going to judge him on a tough 30 minutes on his debut after no pre season. On this one performance he did look suspect aerially, but he was plonked in the middle of a complete makeshift back 3 nobody would ever expect, let alone a guy who's probably still learning his team mates names, and his lack of comfort and confidence in his role probably played a role in that. What I will say though is despite a couple of shaky moments, he seemed driven and committed to atone for any mistakes and made a couple of great blocks putting his body on the line. I'll read alot more into his attitude and commitment on debut than any technical performance today, and I can't really fault him there 

[Flamey]

Let's give him a chance eh?🙏

I'd love to see you do a better job, considering you obviously know exactly what he needs to get even better?

 

Clown.

If anyone has any more doubts listen to this....

 

The guy is level headed and down to earth. He barely knows his way around the training ground and has been thrown in at the deep end. Give him a chance FFS.

Amartey > Vestergaard

I meant at being w*nk

[TrickyTrev Benjamin]

I’m the first to jump on someone’s case if they’re playing poor but he didn’t do nothing wrong today ? All I can think of was the 50/50 with traore where he got flatten. Thought he made some really good passes and looked quite good with the ball. 

[yorkie1999]

Leicester 1-0 wolves, end of. Pathetic moaners.

[coolhandfox]

Jesus the guy has probably had a whirlwind 48 hour, trained with his new team mate once.

 

Some complete nuggets on here.

He did fine. He slightly mistimed one header but people are seeing what they want to see, presumably so they can say 'I told you so'.

 

I've got reservations about this signing but some of the comments in the match thread were an embarrassment.

[Dahnsouff]

Poor guy, sounds like it was not a  planned debut, at least not that early.  
 

Did ok, and will get better with more time training and playing with everyone

Don't know why you're being laughed at and criticised because I couldn't agree more.

 

If you're 1-0 up and on paper the better side, put them to the sword and look to get a second goal. If he thinks we are a top class side then he really does not need to be changing shape to be dealing with a bang average mid-table side who we dominated in the first half.

 

The subs were bizarre. To change from a 4 to a 3atb mid-game is inexplicable, to take off two attacking players and put your best winger up front in the process is even more mind numbing.

 

Vestergaard was alright in the circumstances but he did not need to be thrown in like that, and we didn't need to invite the pressure we did. His positioning for some crosses was shaky but that is only because he'd been thrown in alongside two players he'd never played with before, and Söyüncü/Amartey suddenly had new tasks in terms of who they were picking up.

 

We will drop points this season if we continue with this attitude. Perhaps the idea was that we couldn't stick to the first half intensity because they're not fit enough, I don't know. We have got the technical quality to be putting these crap teams to bed, I do wish Rodgers would back them to show it.

Are you being serious? I assume not so I’ll give you credit for a pretty good troll

Maybe because football isn't played on paper?

No it isn't, you're quite right. But we'd proved in the first half we were better than them in the flesh too.

I noticed today that Soumare played with his back to their goal for 99% of the time. Really odd looking  love him though.

I would be worried if he didn't have his back to our goal, and was looking towards it all the time

Strange, the subs seemed obvious too me. There were issues in defence, but Cags was good so stayed on, removing Dan and replacing with Jannick was risky due to his recent arrival, therefore the only way to achieve solidity was to have the three, no?

Agreed. 
 

Some of the supposed fans on here get on a players back for minor reasons instantly, it’s deranged.
