His headed clearances go miles. So good in the air. Hopefully he can find the aggression in his game needed to be a bit of a Gabriel type and become a monster on set pieces.

Looks to be getting better each game love to know how many headers he won . 

He won all four of his aerial duels, and all three of his ground duels apparently :appl:

I must admit I thought it was way more than that he seemed  to be winning everything in the air

Same. Had to triple check the stat, as it seemed far too low! I actually feel relieved when he heads the ball away too, unlike the rest of our CBs, who always seem to head it straight back to the opposition. Nelson seems to knock it miles further for starters.

Perhaps a load of his headers were unchallenged and I agree he doesn’t seem to have a 50p head

Irrespective of how he plays, I can’t imagine anyone looking more like a centre back. He just has a presence and frame that look ideally suited to the position.

It's oh so quiet. Sssshhhhhhh

Not from me mate. Even my boy was saying he was the best player on the pitch yesterday. Great defending (some super blocks towards the end), great pace getting up the pitch and can head the ball like superman. Looked like a £15million defender. Played like a leader as well, and not someone who has just been given their chance.

 

Has to be number one CB choice from here on. Okoli can play with him as long as he keeps his game simple and doesn't play silly passes. 

 

Fingers crossed we can dump Faes in the Jan window and we can get another CB in, or maybe Souttar still has a future for us. Either way, i want Vestergaard to be backup as I can't stand the way he plays out the back. Its a joy to watch Nelson burst up the pitch when you know what the alternative is.

 

Also, the lad is likable! Faes and Vestergaard have shat on this club several times.

Can’t believe folk on here think he’s crap.

 

By a mile our best CB

Potential to go on and become an England CB. Most definitely will go on to become a good Premier League CB.

Worries me that he's only just broken into the team when he clearly the best centre half in pre season 

He’s had an injury but obviously I’d have loved it if we had brought him back earlier, he did get a niggle when we did bring him back though. Would love it if he stayed he and brought the club back up to decent levels of performance with commanding performances, I’ll be gutted if he goes.
