Outstanding today and all this season so far.....keep it up Lloyd I am going to say yet again that he is the best defender we have produced since Gary Collier and he was the best we have produced in my decades following City.

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 I`ve just posted on the match thread about how Radio Wales were gushing over his performance. Danny Gabbidon was the co-commentator and I reckon he knows a thing or two about what makes a good defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they’re regretting that now! Nothing got past him! You can just see it can`t you? `right they`ve got a 19 year old left back who`s only played a few games so get at him` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave the attacking to others. Any full back wanting to go to the highest level has to be able to play in the opponents half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kashmir Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Swansea lads I work with were waxing lyrical about him after the game. There will be plenty of Prem scouts watching him from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkz 76 Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 For an academy player to step straight in to championship level and be utter class is amazing. We have a real player on our hands. I can see him playing in a top four club his maturity is probably the best I have ever seen from any young player we’ve ever had. Well done Lloyd two motm performances keep it up lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodjias Wrist Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Imagine what a full season of games will bring him. When will Da Silva ever get in front of this lad??

The way he dealt with everything their winger could throw at him yesterday was a real benchmark game for him. Let’s remember though, he’s only 19 and this is his first taste of proper football, in one of the toughest divisions in world football. He will pick up knocks and he will need rests. Dasilva offers us the options of managing Lloyd properly and also coming in at LB & switching Lloyd to CB if cover is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t imagine they would want him to play second fiddle, nor would the lad himself be too happy, presumably, at spending too long on the bench. Obviously we will have to manage Kelly properly through a long, tough, Championship season but if he keeps playing to that level he would obvs be first choice when fit, surely.

The advantage with Kelly is that he’s capable at CB as well so it’s possible that Dasilva could play at LB. That said, from his cameo against Boro Dasilva looked pretty quick and could possibly play in front of Kelly in wide midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
