westernpark Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 Makes you think the Soyuncu thing was definitely personal, because Faes is no better and definitely not near prime Soyuncu. 1

He is under ZERO pressure and fizzes a ball into the middle of the pitch past Mendy and then doesn’t drop back either. A much slower and zero Cruyff turning version of Cags from his first season. No I get what you're saying. But he's a key part of breaking the lines and getting the ball up field quickly. He doesn't drop back as he's playing offside but Souttar doesn't react quickly enough.

He's a decent player but looking to the summer he's probably the first target for an upgrade despite joining last summer. His mentality is a rare quality though that shouldnt be undervalued. 1
Sharpe's Fox Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 Performance that matches his clown hair. 1
LCFCJohn Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 Think if anything we need to be looking for a more reliable partner for Souttar and bump Faes down to third in line. Nothing against Faes but he is just quite rash. Plus the best way to strengthen is to sign first choice and previous first choice becomes back up rather than signing back up players as we have done too much in recent years. 2
beepee1984 Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 Gives the ball away and watches his pass instead of retaking his position in defence. Then rushes forward with 0% chance of getting any where near the ball and leaves a massive gap for Rashford. He has to take the majority of the blame (Souttar attempting to play offside instead of attempting to defend, but he probably still would have got nowhere near Rashford and Wards positioning didn't help but with Rashford in form still may not have made a difference) 1

I think that's the major fault, Faes not dropping back after giving the ball away and leaving Rashord on his own. He literally rolled out the red carpet for him.

Because he shouldn’t have too, the ball quite calmly bounces to Faes and he has a brain fart and just fizzes the ball into danger. I never played elite football but played for years and would be fuming if my CB did that at a much, much lower level. Absolute heinous level of intelligence, I hate possession for possessions sake but all he has to do is keep the ball there when under such minimal pressure.

He literally rolled out the red carpet for him. Or should just pass the ball better. Not enough time to react as Rashford is already on his way after Sabitzer cuts out. Left himself exposed really. He wasn't get back at all.

Guest Basildon Fox Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 At fault for both goals again today. At fault for at least half a dozen since the world cup. He is so susceptible to pace it is embarrassing.
Dames Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 Got absolute pelters at the start of the season for suggesting this lad isn’t anything more than an average Premier League defender but I wasnt wrong. Its starting to look like he’ll need replacing next season already. He’s the weak link at the minute.
sdb Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 Once Ward is replaced, this guy's spot needs addressing.
Claridge Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 Soumare is such a lazy slob. Makes zero effort to track back
Jimothy Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 If Amartey played like Faes has today he'd be getting torn apart. Don't think I've seen Big Dan play this badly 1
Notting your mums forest Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 Love this boy’s endeavour and intensity, but Wout Faes really worries me at times. Harry souttar looks good, but my mind still isn’t made up by Faes. Too dodgy for me
OntarioFox Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 Is there something in the water in Belgium that makes feet grow out of elbows by the way? Just asking re: that VAR decision. We all know from the Morgan incident at Anfield a few years back that hands grow out of faces for similar reasons in Nottingham, so it's not unprecedented.

somebum Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 Been saying this over and over...this guy is a total mess

I don’t think Cags is the answer as he’s clearly off anyway BUT Faes has proven to be a slower and more mistake ridden version.
BKLFox Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 Jesus stop the whining, he’s done exactly the same as last week when he was hailed a hero, unfortunately this week it’s not worked 1
Messi Posted 19 February 2023 Posted 19 February 2023 He’s not very good at all. Had concerns at one point in the Bournemouth game earlier in the season of him diving in but thought benefit of the doubt cause it’s a new league etc. His positional awareness for a centre back is terrible. If he had a normal haircut fans would be hounding him out of the team…
