He looks pretty good, just hope conceding goals every week doesn't nuke his confidence.
Conceding goals is down to a poor team, not individuals. If he was that bad he wouldn't be startingHe looks pretty good, just hope conceding goals every week doesn't nuke his confidence.
As long as he's getting minutes I think it's fine. In fact its better than being on loan to a team where he didn't have any defending to do.Early recall might be required if Palace continue to get spanked regularly, won't do him any good.
Unless he's not playing then nope. If anything it will probably help him. I imagine, like most things, you learn the most during worst moments.Early recall might be required if Palace continue to get spanked regularly, won't do him any good.
The Bore has faith in him, so I'm not worried. He gets to do his job under a bit more pressure as you sayUnless he's not playing then nope. If anything it will probably help him. I imagine, like most things, you learn the most during worst moments.
Exactly, and in terms of keeping himself in Mourinho's plans there's no better way to stay visible as a defender. Jones basically got himself signed off the back of his performance in our 7-1 thrashing of Blackburn (and also, to be fair, the way he learned from that defeat and led their efforts to smother us in the 1-1 reverse fixture later in the season.)Good test, he'll have plenty of defending to do.
Agreed. There's gonna be no shortage of mistakes made by his teammates and no doubt from himself at times to learn from. He'll learn mental resilience having to play in an underperforming team and that'll build character. In some respects this is the ideal situation for him, a baptism of fire.Unless he's not playing then nope. If anything it will probably help him.

I see you're familiar with Frank de Boer.They look like they are being coached by the Ghost of LVG.
Passionless.
Ying-Yang of life. He is probably a freakie-dicky with the Mrs.I see you're familiar with Frank de Boer.
He was their best player today after Townsend. Constantly bailed their defense with his pace.Checking their forums again and everyone is saying that he was their second best players and looked very good when moved to right back.
Fosuh-Mensah looked good
Fosu-mensah: made quite a big mistake which he will be glad he didn't get punished for in first half but played pretty good for most of the match. Very quick.
fonsu-Mensah actually looked like a decent right back shame FDB will play him as a CB
Townsend ok, Fosu-Mensah ok, Cabaye ok. The rest utter wank
Fosu Mensah - Very good in my eyes, RB in a back four he'll be top draw
Because some managers aren't very logical. CBJ won MoTM in couple of his early performances at Wolves but the new manager completely froze him out because he wasn't experienced. Some managers just prefer an old clogger in defence than a young talent, especially one who is only on loan. But realistically and logically yes, he shouldn't have a problem playing under a new manager.Why is everyone so convinced that if De Boer is sacked he won't play anymore?
If he's their best defender, why wouldn't he be picked to play?
New manager: "Oh, that TFM looks like a good defender, I won't pick him anymore".
Some of the things people post just don't make any sense.

Not surprising at all. Hasn't got the players for his LVGesque style. CP are I'm a relegation battle, there isnt much room for experimenting. He's trying to play a style that won't work with his current bunch of players and is getting found out, quickly.After 3 games?!?
You can't judge a new manager in three games. That's absurd.Not surprising at all. Hasn't got the players for his LVGesque style. CP are I'm a relegation battle, there isnt much room for experimenting. He's trying to play a style that won't work with his current bunch of players and is getting found out, quickly.
After how many games would it have been a surprise?Not surprising at all. Hasn't got the players for his LVGesque style. CP are I'm a relegation battle, there isnt much room for experimenting. He's trying to play a style that won't work with his current bunch of players and is getting found out, quickly.
It depends. If you're going to walk into a club and blatantly disregard the circumstances and stubbornly stick to a style that you don't have the players for to make it extremely obvious you're the worst possible fit for the job then yeah, it's bad.Can't be fun being a good (not great) manager these days if this is true.
If he can play RB and CB that will only be a bonus. Nobody is criticizing Mata for being able to RM and CAM.Needs to find a position and stay with it other than ending up like lots of recent young talent that no one knows where to play them...
Skysports in the UKIs it on TV?
Sweet fed up of this transfer nonsense, time to watch some actual footballSkysports in the UK
Great news for him. A year of playing games at Palace and some international games as an added bonus should get him ready to challenge for a place with us next season.Makes his debut today against France in a must win match.
