LUCAS ENGEL IN ANOTHER TEAM OF THE WEEK

[newyddion]

He is a total beast.. thrown in at the deep end a whole new country, new club, no pre season.. and look. 100% cult hero
Our first genuine successor to George Friend

Ruddy definitely stole the show with his performance yesterday. Definitely still a top class keeper who gives a lot of confidence to his defence. I’m surprised he’s not in the Prem as a back up or even a starter.

Well done to Engel.
Having been written off by some - he`s a young lad an everytime he plays he`s getting better.
His defending is much better than Giles and he appears less one-dimensional.
Carrick and his staff patience, skill and coaching are coming good.
What difference confidence makes. (y)

Ruddy might be a good shot stopper but he (and his centre backs) were woeful at playing out from the back

Hopefully Seny Dieng will never be in the team of the week. (y)

Engel looks a really good player. It was always going to be tricky at the start for him. New club, league, country and coaches. That takes time to adapt and patience is needed.

It’s like Rooney has changed the system overnight and wants them to play out from the back, and the centre halves in particular didn’t look convincing or comfortable with it.

Dieng is just fantastic, so comfortable on the ball and also makes match saving/winning saves when needed.

You know how good he is when you don't have to speak about him a bit like Hackney just Consistent every week and oozes class.

He will have an off day at some point like all players but he is excellent to watch.

 

[r00fie1]

He commands his area. Gives the players confidence.
Always feel he will get the job done. He can ping the ball to a player on a sixpence.
Always thought Steffen was egotisitcal and too casual in his area.
Dieng has and plays for the team(y)

 

[Maccarone]

Fantastic turnaround, says an awful lot for his character, great to see.
One of the more remarkable changes in fortune I've seen.
Complete zero to potential cult hero within the space of a few games.

 

[Beverleyred]

I’m loving Engel’s instead

 

[BMW E34]

He still not a defender as he is attack minded & goes forward more than back leaving whoever is behind him to do his job for him.

I remember creating a thread way back after Sheffield Wednesday saying how the critisism of Lukas was way over the top and down right bloody awful.
I'm so glad he's showing what he can do now. Just waiting for one of those rockets to nestle top corner now
