He will be fine Yep. Probably just needs a good kick up the Hause. That'll do the trick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Get the big man out at LB churning up turf on the wing like Wilfred Bouma in full flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was pretty clear from his first performance he’s not fit. Needs time at Bodymoor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be physically fit otherwise he wouldn’t have been bought on. I think he is just massively lacking game sharpness and confidence. Hopefully the behind closed doors game this week will help.

M_Afro Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Why have we signed this guy? If he cannot get into our defence at the moment then he must be awful! Our biggest failure in the last 10 years has been our inability to buy good players! Hope this is not a sign of a continuation of that trend!

Elphick and Chester better options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjaacckk91 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Even if the original plan was to throw him straight in, I think his rabbit in the headlights debut caused a change of plans. Get him used to the system and his new teammates so he can get rid of the panic and relax a bit more when he plays. But if his debut was a sign of his level(I'm certain it's not) then he is an improvement on nobody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCollins29 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 This guy is either nowhere near match fit or else a terrible footballer to allow neil Taylor to get picked ahead of him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuanzebe is a right sided CB tbh. I would say now, our left sided CBs are Mings and Hause. Our right sided CBs are Tuanzebe, Chester and Elphick. Obviously thats assuming that if Mings was injured then Hause would come in, but that doesnt actually seem to happen (when Mings wasnt here), so eh, who knows. I can only assume they arent impressed with Hause, for whatever reason (fitness, sharpness, ability?), as he didnt even get a game with Chester carrying an injury, unyet literally as soon as Mings came in he slotted in to give Chester a rest. If they rated Hause, or he was fit, or both?, he would have slotted straight in like Mings had. Edited February 9, 2019 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like having the balance of a left footed centre back with a right footed centre back, that’s just me. For me, the first choice pairing would be Chester and Mings, based on what I saw last night. Mings looked outstanding, a real find. Although, we conceded 3 goals, he was my MOTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess it is match fitness that he lacks, unless he was signed as an insurance policy in case we had not managed to bring Mings in? I also wonder whether (when everyone is fit) we have all these central defenders to have the option of playing three at the back at least occasionally, rather than to only provide cover?
