Vestergaard did his job and pushed his man away from being able to make that header. Doyle was at fault for letting his man get ahead of him to win the header. 

Exactly it unfortunately seems some still have an agenda

Are you joking? It’s not vestergaards man? 

I’ve just watched it again, Vestergaard doesn’t even jump, if he jumps they don’t score

Oh man you’re so wrong. If he jumps it makes no difference as it’s not his man. If he jumps then the ball still sails over his head.

Vestergaard is 6 foot 5, not 9 foot.

[dayday]

He’s still got to jump, if he does there goal scorer wouldn’t know where the ball is, he barely gets of the ground

Of course he would, the goal is on Doyle, not Vesty

They’re both to blame, Vesty for not jumping and Doyle for letting his man get goal side of him 

 

I still think if Vesty jumps they don’t score or at least prevents a goal

I don't think he's been that great personally. Been good for someone so young though and will obviously improve as time goes on.

 

Reckon we'll see a much improved player come April than the one he is now.

Still stand by this, been ok but absolutely nothing special.

Very solid defensively, but going forward he needs to learn to just lay it off to our attacking players instead of attempting speculative shots (especially in the dying minutes of a game).

I thinks he’s started well for us but he got bullied by Delap today. Looked vulnerable to anyone cutting inside.

He got turned inside out several times, including when they scored, okay a deflection but he allowed the shot.  

 

I'd argue he looks much more comfortable as a baller than he does a defender on today's showing.

If he wasn't on loan from Man City I think people would be seeing his performances through different lenses. Every chance they created came down his side, and Delap had him on toast, was exposed last week as well at Rotherham.

Don't see what he gives you that Justin doesn't personally playing in that position. 

[KFS]

Poor today 

[Ian Nacho]

Looked solid enough but there were a couple of moments were he got done. 

[ozvaldo]

Doesn’t look comfortable in a one-on-one against someone with speed. 
 

Didn’t notice how slow he was until today. 

[BKLFox]

😂 everyone’s a scout 

[Vacamion]

 

Didn't look too clever when he ended up on his arse.

[adam]

God help him if he ever comes up against a decent winger. He needs to be in middle. Justin should be playing in his position.

[RowlattsFox]

He's a young centre back asked to do a hell of a lot. He's going to make mistakes. 

[BigGibbo]

Cost us multiple goals so far and offered little going forward considering he's playing fullback.  Time to drop him or give him a chance to replace Vesty at CB for me.

I noticed this since the opening game. He'll do a half arsed heel tackle and try and give away a cheap foul

[Lcfc-1992]

Put Justin there and move him central

[ian__marshall]

Was poor today but they did a number on us and he got massively exposed by the system. 

 

My main concern today was his decision making. He kept letting the attacker turn inside which threw him off balance especially when they then turned back outside. He'd have been far better off restricting the angles and forcing the attacker to go down the outside from the start. He might have got done for pace but the forward would have had to operate in a tighter space and cutting in from the edge of the box to get in a more central position usually buys the defender a split second to slide in and cover the ground. 

 

He's young so has plenty of time to learn. I also hope Maresca takes note of the tactics faced today as I can see many other teams setting up similarly having seen us lose today. 

[Stuntman_Mike]

He was quality today, not sure what you lot are on. Got done once all game and was involved in almost all our positive play. Loved his last ditch tackle aswell.

Apart from the brilliant assist last week?
