Shocker today. Baffling positioning at times. Made worse since he was ecpected to marshal a young Pennington and an aging Jagielka.

I've seen enough to say he needs to be considered backup next season.
 
sell.

Too old anyway


We've been on a great run of form for 3 months, defensively, we've been very good in that run. Williams has been a big part of that. We've been talking about Top 4 FFS. Put back in our place today, but to start with all that 'sell, too old anyway' BS, is knee jerk and ridiculous. Have a word.
 
This. Probably stuck with it till summer though.

Williams is better than what Jags is now and what Jags and Stones were like last season. Still expect us to sign a couple of defenders in the summer anyway.

He plays as best as a part of a three with two quicker players either side of him, and in his short time with us he has been best as part of a three with Holgate and Funes. I would hope next season that, if we don't get anyone in, Koeman tries him with Holgate and Galloway because I think it would really work.

Never rated him highly mate, sorry.

We got one slow crap defender in jags, didn't need another one. Mind you I thought he was going to be a solid signing at first because everyone told me he was the business.

Defensively we have been good yes, but let's be real Robles bailed us out a fair few times and once we do concede, williams loses the plot the majority of the time

We will get at least 2 in I reckon as Jags and RFM will be sold. He will be one of five or six centre halves we have next season and won't play every game as his age means it will be impossible.

Fair enough, but have you made these point in the last 3 months? 6 months? Because to do it now, after he didn't have a great game today, is just knee jerk.

If he simply had not a great game I wouldn't have been so harsh, but he's literally just ended Pennington career before it's even started by not helping him out at all.

He walked away from all the attacks and just wasn't a defender today so I am going to criticise. Not only that, his signing in generally stank of short term stop gap and he could end up declining rather quickly ala jags and barry etc

Knee jerking? A bit yeah, but today has deserved it for a cowardice performance from the wales 'captain'
 
To all the haters, he probably isn't at the level we need anymore when taking on the best attacking teams, but least against the teams we should be beating he is making a difference.

Today he was left with a make shift defence, it was never going to be pretty. Just be glad he is fit for the next game as if he gets crocked we are Ffffff..lumped.
