Dennis Cirkin

Reinaldo makes me nervous, agaisnt Chelsea it seemed he was the one in the back 4/5 who was always involved in the touch & go tackles... not that he did owt wrong, but on another day the refs could have made our lives worse.
Thought he was class against Chelsea and you can see we’ve missed him badly. He proven at the top level while as good as cirkin might have been has never played. Heck we might be seeing him as third choice when he gets back fit.
 
Well for what it’s worth I would love to see Dennis and Aji fit and back in the squad and pushing for time on the pitch. Both very good players and I think they would improve again with the increased quality we now have around them.
Both still young players who've not been tested in the division yet. Unfortunately for them, the club has almost outgrown them and when we strengthen in January, we'll be looking at much better players than Denis and Aji. This season will be their last chance to impress and break into the team imo.
 
That was Peter Reid’s downfall, having favourites and falling out with players. Le Bris puts out the best possible team every time. Must do wonders for motivation.
He often says in interviews that they have conversations with the players who aren’t in the starting 11. This must do a lot to keep them motivated and engaged. Not every head coach has seen the need for this!
 
I guarantee every player will make a mistake at some point. That doesn’t make them “a liability” He’s been outstanding.

He didn’t kick him man. A 5 yard pass contains more venom than that. He pushed him off
Blatant red, silly from an experienced footballer and I think pushing with your foot is probably the dictionary definition of “kick”. Didn’t say it was venomous, but it’s clearly a lash out with his foot.

I think he got lucky a couple of times with Netto. Gave him the chance to knock it past him down the byline and only just got a shoulder in to knock him off balance. The linesman could easily have given fouls and a booking. I think eventually he learned to just show him inside. Them moving Netto across to the left to accommodate their sub was possibly praise for his defending overall though.

Reinaldos disciplinary record isn't bad at all.

From what I've seen so far I think Cirkin is better than Masuaku. Reinaldo is a bit of a liability can see him getting sent off again tbh so I think Cirkin will get games so as long as he can stay fit.
From what you’ve seen?!? Have you seen him play??

Yeah probably fair, although I’d like to see both of them, particularly Alese, play at this level to see how they do.

They have time on their side still, but it’s probably right this is their last chance as much as I love that we have looked after our players with bad injuries in recent years like Jordan Willis, Evans, Huggins etc.

You might be right, or they might be completely invested in what’s happening here, knuckle down and improve, in a similar way to Big Daniel Ballard.

Does seem to play on the edge but the pluses far outweigh the that to be fair.

He's absolutely tremendous.

Cost us nothing which is unbelievable really.
