Nigel Posted August 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2013 Id personally love to see Baker given time with him. I just think their skill sets would compliment each other really well. The big downside would be the obvious lack of experience, but does has Vlaar done enough to guarantee himself a place in the line up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillakevBromsgrove Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I think Vlar has to much placed on his shoulders having to run the defence as well as do his job. With Okore he may be able to concentrate more on his game and improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted August 22, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2013 There is definitely a good argument for that too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) When Okore came on it allowed Vlaar to play his game more in my opinion. Thought Vlaar had a great battle with Lukaku, the one that led to the freekick and goal for no apparent reason. Loved Okore chasing down Hazard and giving him the big slide tackle, his pace alone can stop players being clearly through on goal.

SikhInTrinity Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'd play him against Liverpool as they have a lot of pace in attacking areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Great start, you can see that he has something special - he will be The Man by Christmas and he's as one with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 So nice to have someone who can recover quickly. If he wasn't on the pitch Chelsea would have had a 3rd when they broke late on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Blistering pace, love the guy. Vlaar became a different kind of player with him at his side. Should be in the team for the pool game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praisedmambo Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Blistering pace, love the guy. Vlaar became a different kind of player with him at his side. Should be in the team for the pool game. I thought that too. He seems better as a left CB, which I thought in the Malaga game too, but perhaps that is because both times he played with this beast.

El-Reacho Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Think this guy's indirectly responsible for sharpening up our defence I reckon. For most of last season the two centre halves were the only two available. Now Vlaar and Clark have a top class replacement for them sitting on the bench and they seem to have upped their games accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Vlaar and Clark have a top class replacement for them sitting on the bench and they seem to have upped their games accordingly. Don't speak too soon. We're still conceding goals in that first 20 minute spell, just as we did last year. No clean sheets since Stoke @ home, 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hahahaha using this season as an example is useless, no shame in conceding to the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal. Not many sides will keep clean sheets against these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
