BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I just wanted to make a post saying how brilliant Alex has been since he has come. He came to the Bridge knowing that he wouldn't get much playing time with Terry and Carvalho finally fit, but with all of the defensive problems we have had, he has basically been an ever-present in the defence. He has settled brilliantly and save for a few moments of madness, he has been completely solid. If we had had this cover last season, we wouldn't have missed JT so much. He's been top class, and do I need to mention his freekicks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 He's done pretty well yes. I don't think he's a great player or anything - lacks a bit of pace and I also think he could think a bit faster, but he's still a very capable player and a much better back-up than what we had last season.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 We didn't have any back-up at all last season, except Boulahrouz, who was playing RB more than often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layla 0 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 We didn't have any back-up at all last season, except Boulahrouz, who was playing RB more than often.Who then went and buggered up his shoulder.Alex has defo been a great additon and esp came through when Carvallo and JT were missing.His free kicks just woha and with luck he can continue and improve on what he's doing in the Xmas period when we need it most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmarvel 1 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 yeah he's a good player.. does have his clownish moments lol but still much bigger improvement from last season.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misschief 24 Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Considering both Carvalho and JT are hard acts to follow I think Alex has done a pretty good job covering for one or the other of them. Hardly surprising he's a bit slow, he's a bloody big lad but he's improved as the season's gone on and I'm a lot happier to see him covering than anyone else.......after all Ben Haim hardly inspires confidence does he?

True_Blue 469 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 ^^Ben Haim was really not good enough,made me puke a couple of times.Alex was class,so he is a bit slow but he is strong in air,pretty brave and does his job well.I bet all the top clubs would like him as a first team defender.

SuperSheva7 0 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 His free kicks are amazing, its nice to spice it up a bit instead of just Lampsy doing them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 I reckon at any other Premier League club, he'd be first choice. He's an absolutely outstanding player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
