An Sionnach Posted 24 October 2022 Posted 24 October 2022 26 minutes ago, Le Renard said: He's turned out to be a great signing so far, although it is still early doors he has all the attributes to be the future captain. He will have a few stinkers and make the odd mistake, but anyone who can help keep clean sheets playing alongside Big Dan deserves praise. There has been a noticeable change in defensive tactics , which is sensible given Amartey and Faes old-school defensive qualities. It was desperately needed and so far it is working. If we can restrict Man.City to one or two then we may have turned a corner.

J.Lisemore Posted 24 October 2022 Posted 24 October 2022 Recruitment team have struck gold on this one. Early days but as others have said, he could make a great captain.

TheFiveTime Posted 24 October 2022 Posted 24 October 2022 He is a great cb and all but people are forgetting his greatest assets: his hair and his jawline

Popular Post Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 25 October 2022 Popular Post Posted 25 October 2022 (edited) I personally don't think we've missed Evans. He's been well off form this last year or so and I haven't seen much of the captain's qualities needed either on the field. I'm not going to big up Faes overly at this stage, he did have some issues and committed clear mistakes (understandably so) in the first couple of games or so. But he looks like he could be a real asset playing wise and with his organisational skills. I see Amartey is still a huge scapegoat for many on here and I get that he is prone to big gaffes and so criticism. But the guy gives his all and alongside a more steadying influence like Faes, the centre back partnership is working at the moment, albeit against teams in the lower reaches, like us. If I was Rodgers for now, I'd be tempted to keep things as they are, despite what might happen against Man City, who can destroy any defence on their day as we've seen.

Why change a winning team? I just hope we at least try and put up a bit of a fight against Man City, even if we get completely blown away and have to start defending in Newark or Leamington... (I had to check the alignment of the pitch on google maps to figure that out ) But I guess that's what we all expect as a minimum, right? Either way, our defence is going to have work to do! (Faes vs Haaland... *Fight* ) Edited 25 October 2022 by PhillippaT 1 1
Dames Posted 25 October 2022 Posted 25 October 2022 Starting to look a lot better now he's settled. Wasn't too keen on jumping on the bandwagon in the early days given some of the results but he's looked solid over the past 4 or so games. I'd still argue he's nowhere near peak Cags but there are a lot of similarities there.

Faes can make Amartey look like a reasonable defender, something Cags could never do. 4

Didn't they start with the Fofana propaganda the January after he signed?
Guest ttfn Posted 5 November 2022 Posted 5 November 2022 One of the most impressive starts to an LCFC career in recent memory.

Guest Col city fan Posted 5 November 2022 Posted 5 November 2022 Have to say he has been absolutely brilliant today again. Man of the match him or Madders imo.

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 5 November 2022 Posted 5 November 2022 What a great signing! Really solid, just what we needed. ⭐️ 2
egg_fried_rice Posted 5 November 2022 Posted 5 November 2022 Love this bloke. A quality defender and, just as important, a strong leader.
STUHILL Posted 5 November 2022 Posted 5 November 2022 What an absolute gem of a signing. Credit to whoever made the decision on him! Wes who??
Frost Posted 5 November 2022 Posted 5 November 2022 Captain next season. We might've made only one outfield signing in the summer but on the Faes of it (sorry) not many have been more important.... That's 5/7 for clean sheets, I think.
moore_94 Posted 5 November 2022 Posted 5 November 2022 So obvious to see why he was Captain at Reims Would not be surprised to see him made captain next season 1
