Just thought I'd drop this in there, thought the lad was absolutely flawless yesterday. He & JOS are looking as solid as a platinum plated tank at the minute, I've never been his biggest fan (more for the off field antics in truth), but credit where due, last 3 games, superb. That is all.
Was excellent yesterday, dont think he likes the "he shags who he wants chant" mind, scowled at the south stand
im one of his biggest fans and he was tremendous today. However he cost us the points at West Ham, he was marking Nolan when the ball came in lost him by ball watching and left Nolan unmarked. Blaming him for Liverpool might be harsher but it was his botched clearance that went straight to Suarez. Two mistakes that cost 4 points? He would be my first choice centre back still as when he's on his game he's quality.
When Bramble is on his game, he is probably the best defender in the league. Problem is, he has a lapse in concentration that consigns him to average. He was the same with us. One moment he would keep Del Piero quiet, the next some hacker from Yeovil would make a mug out of him for one momentary lapse.
Most of us think the same mate, 89 minutes of rock solid defending then 1 mad minute of mayhem which costs the game. Admittedly he has been better lately but, everyone is just waiting for his mistake to come then it'll be back to him being ****e again.
The problem is everyone could point out numerous occasions when OShea and Brown have made howlers or not picked up their man and cost us goals yet they don't get the same grief? Mud sticks and I think the lad gets a bad rep.
Agree MM had another good game. Just think we could have still had Turner who had another mare yesterday.
Spot on mate. In the grand scheme, he makes no more howlers than any other defender, just that the turd from when he was younger, and did make more, has stuck. Can do nowt wrong for 6 months, one mistake and it's 'typical Titus'. 'Typical Titus' is actually an in credibly solid and intelligent defender.
