      Yeah it is mad to see him getting stick and to see him being referred to as a player that needs replacing.


      He is like a physically stronger version of Stevie Finnan. Rock solid more often than not at the back and a pretty good outlet going forward despite the criticism on that front.

      He has pretty much brought his A game to the first team as soon as he joined, and I think when people talk about how players like Firmino, Origi etc will be better after they have a full season under their belt they forget that Clyne is still getting his first season with us under his belt.


      Love seeing his name on the teamsheet because I am confident straight away that he can handle whatever player is attacking down our right flank.

      I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

        Having just watched the highlights from last night again, his link up play with Firmino really was excellent and hopefully something we can see develop further for the remainder of the season.

        Like you say, should be able to take it up another level next year, especially if we get a more settled defence in place.
        If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

          Brilliant, our best player last night for me and that took some doing! His work in tight spaces was pretty special at times, I was sat maybe 10 yards away from it and any of our front players would have been happy with his skills

          Defensively. Its becoming the norm from him, solid. Depay didn't get a sniff of anything even when he was caught up the pitch.

            Yep, absolutely brilliant again. He's been a bargain and probably our most consistent player this season.

            Going forward he can be very frustrating, but he's so ****ing good defensively that it doesn't matter. He's excellent.

              Had a real shocker tonight. Hopefully, that's all of his bad game time played out tonight.

                He's played a lot of football this season. I had hoped with Flanno back we could start managing his minutes but Moreno's injury may have put paid to that.

                  I think the occasion got to him, he made a few mistakes early in and never really recovered. He had a proper shocker, will be interesting to see how he responds in the next round.

                    there was loads of pressure down his flank, attacking it in twos and threes so he was stretched. looked poor [less good] on a couple of occasions but often on his own. lovren reluctant to step out and leave gaps, lallana not tracking back, etc.
                    removing all the weak links makes us stronger

                    too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.

                          He wasn't very good today but I'm not convinced he was as bad as is being made out. He was rash to put his foot in but the pen was soft. And his booking was bull****, he got barged over and booked for it.

                            How good is it that our defence and midfield is so solid at the moment, that when of our normal key defenders who always turns up has a bad game, we still only concede once!

                                I didn't think he was terrible, but his performance was below his normal standards
                                The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
