Must be one of the new covid guys, guess Palmer was too.

Palmer was at the match with some of his friends.
He must have some slight niggle, maybe

Fair enough, I just related it to Pep saying couple of new player cases, assumed Ake and Palmer were the 2. Wonder who else it could be then?

Zinch?

 

[Rammy Blue]

Zinch?

Zinchenko was previous week though, he’s not been about for a while so assumed he wouldn’t be classed as a new case.

 

[Gobshiight]

Quietly becoming a very good player for us

 

[Silvanova]

Looked very assured and great to see him confidently stepping out to mop things up and set us off again. Playing more like Pep expects his defenders to do.

 

[yankblue]

He's had a good season. It's got to be tough with Dias/Stones/Laporte in the squad but he's played well whenever called on, and offers something a bit different.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Did well again today.

 

[Barcon]

He’s looked very good the last few games and I was completely confident in him starting.

 

[samuelyeboah]

better in the second half, overall decent game

 

[WallyA]

Can't ask for much more. When called upon he plays well. Can also play LB as well, albeit differently in a more defensive way, but still well.

 

[OrigamiNinja]

better in the second half, overall decent game

This. He was far from good in the opening 45 mins, but improved greatly in the 2nd half.

 

[ninjamonkey]

This guy gets to play maybe once every month if he's lucky and doesn't put a foot wrong everytime. The steadier of the two centre backs today. About time the knob heads losing their shit and labelling him a liability pre-match the second they see his name on the team sheet start showing some appreciation for him. He's also a phenomenal aerial threat.

Agree. It's the usual second season syndrome. Much more confident and positive in possession and a great back up for us.

 

[Dicko69]

He's exactly what we need, more than capable of stepping up/in against opposition we are expected to get a result against. Gets enough starts to keep him happy, but I wouldn't feel comfortable him starting in big games

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Real stalwart of the squad he’s become, however, see a big move to the north east in the summer, especially if they retain Eddie!

 

[FantasyIreland]

A bit shakey in parts,but overall played and contributed well.
