"Seems strange that the majority of people who were in the pub on Saturday night watching were of the same opinion. The vast majority of people in and around the bars last season thought the same too."
seriously - this is a supposedly grown bloke who has trained in law - this is the way he attempts to validate an opinion - he has to imagine he has the support of half the fuckin town on a matchday to make himself feel clever
fucking hilarious and he just can't see it

No, that’s just the feeling amongst a vast amount of supporters. The facts/stats are there to back that opinion up as well as being able to watch his useless ability as a whole on the tv.
But hey, if you think having a similar opinion to others is hilarious then that’s your strange persona.
As said on a number of occasions, I could say that the sky was blue this afternoon and you’ll always follow me around, find a way to comment and attempt to counter it, all because I upset you a few years ago. Now that, for a supposed grown man, is a sad trait to have.

I guess I’m more qualified, as you mentioned above, to make that call. In any event, and as I’ve previously averred to, it’s not just about stats either. His general play which isn’t covered under statistics is shocking. Convenient that you fail to mention that again.
Give yourself a day off, man. You’re getting worse as you get older.

go on then.......you're claim is that Lascelles is woeful and should be nowhere near a PL team - using all available stats, prove that to be true
This isn't even about a defence of Lascelles for me - I just enjoy giving an obsessive narcissist the opportunity to show themselves for what they are
You couldn't even wait for the team to concede a goal before you had to try and prove yourself correct - you had to crowbar Lascelles into the conversation in the first game of the season when we won and didn't concede
Your obsessive need to constantly try and prove a point is entertaining as fuck
I fully understand that you sit and reply thinking you're looking the dogs bollux but rest assured, myself and the majority of people in and around the pubs think you're a fuckin knacker

Lascelles is shit, he makes Titus Bramble look like Vincent Kompany! Frequently out of position and marking shadows, poor concentration levels and his distribution is lacking, also he's too bloody slow.
Yes he's a £3m signing from a lower league but that's no excuse. It's down to the coaching staff to bring them up to PL standards as well as the player adapting to the league.
Leicester paid £1m for Jamie Vardy from then non league Fleetwood Town and Spurs paid £5m for Dele Ali from MK Dons and they are now established England internationals, so what is Lascelles excuse?

They used to say that if games were 80 minutes then Bramble would've been a world beater. It was those last 10 minutes that he would lose concentration and drop some enormous clangers. The difference then was we had the forward players to make up for it.
Lascelles has 10 minute spells where he isn't concentrating, that's at any point during the game and more than once.
Boumsong was just shit, an absolute awful footballer!

Just to repeat where I'm at in the debate
I think Lascelles is an average PL defender - certainly not as shit as a few of you think he is though
For me, his real strength is his leadership and organisation of the defensive unit as a whole - hes a definite miss when not in there
My only issue with the criticism is that I've watched games where other players, Joelinton and Rose inparticular were stand out shit but sure enough Lascelles was the one singled out by the usual suspects
If we were happy with the standard of every player we wouldn't have an issue with Ashley - but for some reason Lascelles seems to get judged by a different set of rules
