Vestergaard

[Mike1983]

Might be our Danny Ward this season.

[foxes_rule1978]

Still garbage 

[mozartfox]

JJ is quicker and play CB.    Not mobile enough - really.  

[Tanya]

He cannot start even at this level. 

[Kierzz]

I just don't understand how a player this bad has got so far in football for Denmark and the Premier League. 

[CrazyKopCorner]

FM he was white today - a total liability - get rid asap

[BKLFox]

Just woeful, I loved the fact Doyle showed his displeasure in the final few minutes when Vestergaard just swung at the ball and it went for a corner, Doyle wanted calm and to play the ball out as he knew the danger of a corner 2minutes from the 99th minute, Vestergaard doesn’t have a clue.

 

Hopefully Harry plays midweek and puts in a performance 

[The Doctor]

Ultimately if you play him it has to be in a very deep block or as part of a 3  with two quick CBs to cover for him being slower than the service in the concourses. Everything they did to open us up was targeted towards him and his lack of pace 

[splinterdream]

If Enzo wants to use him, he's going to need to work out what to do about his lack of pace in the second half, it was like playing a sloth

[Tielemans63]

He needs to be replaced ASAP. He's miles off it. A total liability today.

[egg_fried_rice]

Yep, still shite

[jim5000]

Poor old Janick. He’s a liability but they keep paying him 70k\week to be part of the setup.

 

 

[fox_up_north]

Absolutely rubbish. I'm also not convinced about his heading. That requires effort to jump, which I didn't see much of.

[Jattdogg]

Think someone mentioned his negatives outweigh his positives at least for us.

 

Was never a good buy and never a good fit for us or him. He needs a new scenery.

[Dahnsouff]

He is filling in for Coady, so assuming Coady will return with a few weeks (debatable) then we will just have to suck it up I imagine

He was the ****ing scenery at times this afternoon.

[dmayne7]

I'm not one for hyperbole but he is genuinely one of the worst players I have ever seen play for us. Utterly woeful. I know players can have hot spells and dip off just as much but I genuinely don't understand how he has ever played top flight football, let alone so many caps for a decent international team. Crazy.

[ajthefox]

I can't believe Souttar is seemingly behind him in the pecking order.

 

I've read a lot about people saying Souttar doesn't have the passing range that Vestergaard has but it's not like we asked him to be Pirlo and he is an absolute liability. 

[Haywood_6]

I was prepared to give Vestergaard a chance but after today I would 100% rather have Souttar playing until Coady is fit. 

[Dahnsouff]

The only reason Vestergaard is there ahead of Souttar is his passing I assume

[Ian Nacho]

Looked okay in the first half but my goodness he looked poor in the second half. It’s how easy people run past him which is concerning.

[nettle]

Souttar all the way whilst Coady is injured. Vesty is going to cost us loads of goals, is he good at anything? No pace, can head or tackle just plain shite.

He can pass?  

 

But we need a defender who can tackle, head a ball, run....i mean....defend.

 

 

[sm1]

Was in a heated conversation with Enzo at the end of the game. I dont think he was too pleased.

He's just too slow, and doesn't attack the ball enough when defending set pieces - their best chances outside of set pieces came from paces counterattacks. If we lose the ball in central midfield, it's far too easy to play that through ball when Vestergaard is playing. He also played deeper knowing his lack of pace so kept the opponents onside. 

 

Thing is we've got a lot of solutions - as well as playing Souttar, you could play Doyle inside and put Justin/Kristiansen/Thomas at LB. And Thomas and Justin have played in a defensive 3 before as well.
