My biggest issue with Webster is that he takes too long to get up to speed after a lay off. I still like the guy and so want him to succeed, but we can't be carrying some of those rusty performances when we're competing in Europe as well as other competitions.

Igor was so poor IMO, but it's early days. His passing second half was a massive improvement on the first and I do think it was a big ask to make his debut in that fairly makeshift defence. RDZ now has some fairly big decisions on how to manage his centre backs. Dunk is the only one who walks...

Mostly agree although I'm struggling to apportion much blame to Van Hecke for that one. After all, once Lamptey fell over, vH had to go to the ball to prevent the shot, while expecting Lamptey to get up and cover the unmarked striker he had just collided with. Lamptey was slow to realise the...

Agreed. He should also have taken off Fati and replaced him with a proper number 9 like Welbs far Peak Webster is every bit as good as Dunk. Different qualities for sure, but when he's playing well he looks international class. The problem with Webster is that he ALWAYS plays two or three...

Before you are too smug about this, JPVH was responsible for the goal we conceded and also got to play alongside a class right back as opposed to a 39 year old makeshift. Totally unfair comparison. I'm please JPvH has stepped up and really would walk into several top flight teams, but it's...

Count me out of getting on his back because he had one shit game. Webster is class, but has ALWAYS taken 2 or 3 games to get up to speed after a long lay off. Some of you are going to look like right nobs at Christmas when he's being spoken like VVD was a couple of years ago

Quite. Had we kept hold of Lvi Colwill for another season, JPvH would have been spending this season on loan at somewhere like Bristol City or Southampton.

This all day long. JPvH has one good game against on the beach City and then a good pre-season and suddenly he's as good as one of our best ever defenders? Give him time. He's nowhere near that level yet.
