Lamare Bogarde

[Dante Lavelli]

What position did he play versus Young Boys and how did he get on? 

I’m assuming he was either CB or RB, proving what a valuable squad player he is becoming.

[Dave]

RB, with Lindelof in the middle. He did fine, I thought.

Didn't really attack much, but that's probably to be expected. Also ended up further infield a lot more than our full-backs normally do - like that new full-back-dropping-into-midfield-thing that teams do.

[eamonn]

Only saw the highlights, looked like he made some good passes from the right-hand side. Was caught out for their goal, albeit fine play by the scorer.

Happy birthday, Lamare!

Doing well

[LeeB]

Doing well

I actually look forward to his little 15-20 minute cameos now, the booking he received on Saturday was absolutely ridiculous in itself let alone the context of the game when the opposition had repeatedly commited worse offences without sanction.

He was clattered twice in very short order after coming on against Forest, winning free kicks bith times, but no cards were shown in either case.

But he got booked for the first foul he committed and I couldn't see any real difference between the severity of the fouls.

I thought he took one for the team in stopping their bloke getting through to a dangerous position so I thought it was a fair card. Haven’t seen it back mind.

Probably, the problem, as it is far too often, is that they did similar and didn't get bookings, the inconsistency is what causes most of the complaints about refs.

[eamonn]

He let Forest in with an overly-confident first touch that went awry. The whole team can be guilty of that, it's the way we play. A lot of chances our opponents get are gifted because we're enticing them into pressing us all the time.

Once we beat that, we move up the pitch very quickly. When they win the duel, we leave ourselves exposed.

As we control possession in most games, it can have the knock-on effect of increasing the risk of getting caught-out and I guess the downside of this cat-and-mouse method of playing will probably mean our goals against record will never be amazing under Emery.

Another quality performance

[andyh]

He is developing very,very nicely.
With more games under his belt, and with a master guiding him, he is going to be a top player.

[Brend'Watkins]

Yes a fine display by him yesterday. He now needs to concentrate on where and when to move the ball in the way he does without putting us into trouble.

[eye digress]

It was another very good outing and he is maturing very well to the extent that the drop-off from the first-picks is narrowing.

That said, Eamonn’s comment above re the Forest game could be applied equally to the Spurs match. So I think the margin for progression is clear.

[brontebilly]

Was caught badly in possession for the goal but there's only way to learn. Get your body over that ball like Konsa does! Going to have to step up now with Kamara and Onana out. Great opportunity for him. Has developed really well.
