Not offended and I despise  a lot of the others just as much and give them just as much stick. He’s not the only **** by any means. 

It's important to despise as many of our own players as possible, it shows true commitment. 

[MrsJohnMurphy]

Clearly our best CB, plays every game for me, couldn't care less about his "attitude"

[HitchinFox]

So many here keep saying the same thing...

"He's a bellend"
"He thinks he's better than he is"
"He thinks he's Maldini"
"His attitude stinks and he thinks he's above us"

Is there any evidence of this? Genuine question. Because it's highly likely that I've missed something he has said or put on social media etc.

His celebration was brilliant, any happy clapper even slightly irritated by that is way too much of a snowflake. He got the winner in the 90th minute, stop being so woke, it’s irrelevant how he celebrated.

Also thought his laughing when he came on to booing was funny

Yeah I don't rate him in the slightest but don't see the furore over his celebration

Constant blaming of others for his mistakes (hands up, pointing)
Shushing the crowd previously
Having a go at players around him
Refusing to go and thank/clap the fans
Comments in the media
There's plenty over the few years

There were a lot of occasions last year where we conceded directly as a result of his error, and every single time he'd immediately look around and throw his hands up in the air as if it was everyone else's fault. Id imagine that's at least part of the reason why he's disliked by some.

[Dahnsouff]

Suspect that the fact he is not as meek or silent as some, plays a significant part of the distaste some have toward him. 

[Clogger_]

The entrenched dislike of Faes from some reminds me of the super-weird anti-Pearson contingent!

 

Anyway, he'll be starting most games unless he gets sold. No world-beater, but our best option.

[James_lcfc]

Really good Championship CB to be fair to him.

 

Not good enough for the PL, but that’s not really relevant at the moment is it! 

[fleckneymike]

He’s not very good but thinks he’s great. Depressingly he’s still a better defender than all the others.

Exhibit A was his agent putting a video on LinkedIn last season trying to flog him

People just forget that players can give it back too. He got booed, even after scoring.. and I was one of them ill hold my hands up.. but the celebration made me laugh and I actually thought good on him

Totally agree. 

 

Helluva alot of people create an image of somebody they simply don't know. Pop psychiatriaty, but maybe pinning stuff in him due to their own frustrations

 

Tbh, I've never ever heard the guy speak,.let alone speak ill of anything or anyone 

[Mickyblueeyes]

He was smiling at the boos when coming on - good reaction.

 

Finger to the ear when he scored - good reaction. 
 

A reaction was something we were dying for all of last season from all of them. I got no problem him doing that.

I think this is a key factor.  When our seasons have gone to shit there's always been talk of him wanting out. Last season there was an agent fed rumour that he had an agreement with the club that he'll be allowed to leave if we were relegated. 

It's not something that should get out, true or not. The focus should be on doing what you can to stay up,  not on how you'll escape from the sinking ship.

"Shortly after the 4–0 home defeat by Brentford, the agency of Wout Faes posted a highlights reel of the defender on social media describing him as “a master of anticipation”. It included footage from a 4-0 defeat at Everton"

Its the same every season, plays well the first 5 games before nose diving off a cliff. Looked unreal for beginning of 23/24 before being at fault for about every goal we conceded towards the end of that year

He anticipated we would lose 4_0 👍that's what he must have meant 

 

Sorry I can't get behind faes unless it's with a doc Martin to kick him out the king power 

 

One header doesn't change that 

[HankMarvin]

Not good enough for the Prem, might as well be developing Nelson. Hopefully a bid comes in

Coincidentally as long as the window 

[em9999]

I'm praying for the day he gets in his clown 🤡  car and drives to a new circus 

[Pliskin]

I actually loved his celebration, a bit of grit, I’m listening Wouty

Got no problem with his celebration. He got roundly booed when he came on and then scores the winning goal. 

It’s seemed to me he was having a go at SK1, they tend to lead the crowd in booing players. I’m in SK2 and nobody around me was booing him. 
Dont think it helped that our so-called supportive singing section in SK1 were singing “we’re going down” etc 10 minutes into the game.

Is this a joke?
