I really find it baffling as to how Jannik has made it to the level he has done 

[TMELcfc]

It’s getting to stage of sacking Vestergaard and we just move on and forget it ever happened… 

[Sly]

Daka looks lost.

So frustrating. Im

pretty sure he’d be a 20 goal a season striker if he played week in / week out. However his overall contribution to play is so frustrating. 

Overall he’s still a good player and cult hero. 
 

I wonder what he himself thinks about his career? Because his innate talent is there for all to see. 

[Ian W LCFC]

Time to make some changes?

[moore_94]

Ndidi off, Mendy on

Who is a cult hero? Nacho?

I’m old and a bit weedy, but I’m sure I could beat vesty in a fight, anyone think they would lose?

Deep, compact defence. He’s effective. 
 

High line, space behind. You’d be better playing me. 

[Shane]

Decent workout for Wilf

And what about the rest of his time here? 

Very mixed bag as many have commented, periods of quality and mediocrity, anyway probably for the Tielemans thread.

No doubt he polarises opinion.

He’s not though is he, he is a very good young player who is still learning his trade. He makes some mistakes along the way, but is far from shit.

I would happily bet my mortgage he will not be a PL player in 3 years.

Obviously not shit as he is a professional football player but he is not a VERY good young player. Is VERY average.

He’s won us some big points. I understand it more than I do for the loving Amartey gets.

I get your point, but Daka only hit five goals in the PL, I think? Madders might well take the strain off Vards again, but relying on Barnes never feels you’re backing a cert 🤷. Performances like this juts scare me as to the fragility of our squad. 

 

Be more interesting to see Daka per 90 not just "in X appearances".

[moore_94]

1-1

[ozleicester]

Ahhh curtis davis... still remember being gutted when he didnt sign for us.

[Sly]

That’s a nice finish that. 

[Beechey]

guh

[TMELcfc]

Good defending again 

[sishades]

Shocking defending, noone closed down and the scorer had acres of space.

[TrentFox]

Superb finish. 

[Tommy Fresh]

Vestergaard man

You could forgive the pace (which I don't think is the be all and end all for a centre half anyway) if he used his frame / weight in *any* way but the bloke is unbelievably lightweight. 

[foxfanazer]

Stopped watching as I'm off to work.  Corner?
