Rasmus did a couple of those crucial tackles in our pre-season friendlies, he'll improve once he gets use to the PL.

Re: Rasmus Kristensen
Was an excellent tackle but he shouldn't escape criticism for what was a pathetic defeat in a shoulder charge to midget Pedro Neto.
He has to be much stronger in this league.
In fairness though Neto is quality 1v1, not on Raph's level but not that far off.
Very quick.
He would give any full back a hard time on his day.
Kristensen shouldn't be losing shoulder to shoulders though.

Re: Rasmus Kristensen
I thought he did well for a PL debutant, as did the other newbies, couple of mistakes, but, you can see the guy is 100%, as I said before, I see a lot of Zico* in him.

Re: Rasmus Kristensen
He's an upgrade on Ayling for sure but Ayling is an excellent squad member. Rass will improve on a credible display yesterday but for a PL debut Infront of a raucous crowd I'd say he was one of our standout players.

Re: Rasmus Kristensen
Zico, now he was a proper legend, he bled Leeds. On a side note, we really have to sort out the left back position, whatever the question was, Firpo isn't the answer and neither is Struijk, he's far too slow. I wonder if we could coax Dorigo out of retirement.mentalcase wrote: ↑Sun Aug 07, 2022 1:35 pm I thought he did well for a PL debutant, as did the other newbies, couple of mistakes, but, you can see the guy is 100%, as I said before, I see a lot of Zico* in him.

Re: Rasmus Kristensen
I didn't think it was weak. But more naive. He should probably have held his position rather than committing himself like that, Smart wingers are waiting for something like that, so they can turn and go past. I think Kristensen's technical and physical abilities are great. Just add a little more experience and nouse. He's still young and completely new to this league.Cjay wrote: ↑Sun Aug 07, 2022 1:18 pm Was an excellent tackle but he shouldn't escape criticism for what was a pathetic defeat in a shoulder charge to midget Pedro Neto.

Re: Rasmus Kristensen
Was really poor yesterday for me, got beaten for pace every single time and we looked really exposed down our right side several times and of course for their goal. One great tackle and looks like he will give 110 per cent, but can't wait to have ayling back personally
Re: Rasmus Kristensen
Bump this because it may get lost in the disappointment over the result.
Did brilliant today.
Kept Zaha very quiet.
Was strong and solid and class.
Saved Cooper as well with a great block.
Best game for us so far.

Re: Rasmus Kristensen
Would agree, Cjay
Overall he's been a bit disappointing since the start of the season, but has certainly stepped it up the last couple of games.
Tbf I guess he's come into a new team, league, country....alot of change and understandably it will take a period to adjust.
Re: Rasmus Kristensen
Agreed Cjay.
It was his best game, my MOTM for us.

Been concerned about him but he has stepped up recently.
Hopefully continues.

Re: Rasmus Kristensen
Showing his worth in the last 2 or 3 games after a rough introduction. I'd been pushing for an Ayling start just to add some pressure. But no doubt now that Rasmus is our right back.

Re: Rasmus Kristensen
That's Zaha and Martinelli shut out in the last two matches.
2 of the most dangerous left wingers in the league because of there pace and tricks.
Big Rasmus swatted them aside by and large.
After a shakey start to say the least he has been excellent last 2 games against tricky opponents.

Re: Rasmus Kristensen
Starting to look like he did in Champion's League for RB Salzburg. I've always believed he was a good signing. And yes, after a shaky start he is beginning to settle. Which is actually pretty quickly considering it's been 9 matches in the Prem.Cjay wrote: ↑Mon Oct 17, 2022 1:00 pm That's Zaha and Martinelli shut out in the last two matches.

Re: Rasmus Kristensen
I was calling for Ayling immediately after the international break. Not long term, but just for a couple of games while Rasmus found his way. he's been immense defenively in the last 2 games. Still, I would like to see him doing a little more at the other end of the pitch. Great effort in defence. But he should at least be matching Strujik's attacking contributions.Cjay wrote: ↑Mon Oct 17, 2022 1:00 pm That's Zaha and Martinelli shut out in the last two matches.
