Jozo Simunovic

Fantastic from Jozo today. Hope he stays fit and avoids injury!!

 

He's top class, better than Erik in my opinion, and I love Erik. Kolo has been superb for us but maybe we should stick with these two lads and build a lasting partnership.

 

Think he also gave the pass to Griff

 

Was outstanding today! Deserves to start more often.

 

Superb again today. Would definitely give him a chance in Europe before the end of the group stage. I really hope Jozo and Erik can form a partnership to last for years here.

 

This.

Let the two of them start in a big match where we will be put under pressure to see how they cope. Think individually they are both good players, and so far they have played well as a pair.

MOTM for me. Weird having 3 good cb's. Definitely not something we are used to.

 

Mind when this guy came in? that fella that supports his old club who posts on here was saying hes not really up to much etc. I was quite worried when we brought him in thought I think this guy might be rotten. Then with him nearly going, it seemed like Brendan thought so to.

Well done big man you've turned it around well you haven't turned anything around you have been out injured and you have been solid since you came back.

* intay ya big mad *!

 

Brilliant today, him and Erik are a good partnership.

He must be giving Brendan sleepless nights just now about his best pairing.

 

beats the nightmares he could be having if efe was still in the picture!!

 

Giving him pleasant dreams would probably be more appropriate.

 

The huns were delighted he was starting as apparently he's our 'weak link'

 

Not saying he's as good as Van Dijk, of course he isn't yet...but he has that same calmness and composure about him that Virgil has. Just looks very comfortable with the ball at his feet, likes to take it on a run up the pitch, can pick out some nice passes as well.

The questions I had were about him defensively because he hasn't been tested much since coming back from injury. Today though, he won everything and made a fantastic block to prevent a probable goal.

It's easy to forgot how young he is as well, he's only 22. If he can stay fit, we have a very good centre half in him.

 

Have to agree with this, I was so impressed with him as I've been nervous regarding his ability as we've not really seen him that much.

Looks to have the confidence of a midfielder on the ball and his positioning to prevent attacks was great too.

As has been said it's a * of a dilemma for Brendan to have now, not only up front but in defence now because I would always have Kolo and Erik starting important games but Simunovic has just announced himself as well.

 

It certainly is.

Toure has been immense and doesn't deserve not to play in Europe, but Jozo and Erik is the long term pairing (hopefully) so we may as well give them games together to see how they do in different situations. Very good problem to have.

 

My motm

 

What a * tank!
