Is it true 8 starts and 8 wins this season??
That’s pretty impressive isn’t it?

In the league 8 starts, 5 wins, 3 draws, 2 clean sheets. A start and a loss in the cup.
Sloppy passing first half but solid after
Yes, awful pass that led to the chance Bamford ought to have scored from. Lati does seem to have a knack though of being a bit lucky in that his occasional errors on the ball don't lead to goals. That is something you can't put a value on. He is however defensively solid and reliable off the ball, which the team were starting to cry out for, and his recent selection has undoubtedly given us a more solid foundation.
Wolves & Norwich instantly come to mind.Lati does seem to have a knack though of being a bit lucky in that his occasional errors on the ball don't lead to goals.
I don’t think it is. The general trend is that we conceded more goals when we play Lati than when we didn’t. That was the case up until the last few games.Thomas did one just as bad never gets mentioned. Kitching does about five a game. It’s confirmation bias all the way down.
To be fair Lati did it at West Brom as well. Any opposition manager watching will see opportunities there if you can press him on the ball.Thomas did one just as bad never gets mentioned. Kitching does about five a game. It’s confirmation bias all the way down.
Wolf all ready made the step up with Ipswich. Got to give him a chanceI don’t think it is. The general trend is that we conceded more goals when we play Lati than when we didn’t. That was the case up until the last few games.
Kitching in particular had a bad run of games and unfortunately for him, played himself out of the starting 11.
Irrespective of league status next season, a marquee signing needs to be a CB. I think Thomas could make the grade and Lampard rates him highly but I don’t have confidence that Lati, Kitching and Wolf can make the step up.

As a bit part player who they would’ve lets us sign in Jan 2025 had Ipswich first choice CBs been fit.Wolf all ready made the step up with Ipswich. Got to give him a chance
WeirdHas anyone got a list of Premier League penis sizes? Just wondering if Lati will have the biggest dick in the Premiership.
I reckon Haaland will have a big schlong. Is it girth or length that counts?
We beat Preston 2-1 at home last seasonImagine telling someone after we lost 3-0 at home to Preston last season that by March 2026 we’d be top of the Champ with Lati and Dasilva as key parts of the defence.
I think I’ve got the game right but it was the one where they played it into the space between Lati and Dasilva every time and we looked an absolute car crash.
Incredible the progress from both.
Ah, I think the game I was thinking of was in 2024.We beat Preston 2-1 at home last season
We’ll never know for sure, but their second goal from the corner just seemed to drift straight through everyone. Watching it back, someone really should have got something on it.I expect lati to come back in, but neither goal yesterday would have been prevented by Lati being on the pitch.

He might well have prevented both.
Entire Defence Ball watching for the first and Lati could have followed the shot in and prevented the Soton player from scoring.
Second he could have marked the player who the ball hit and got to the ball first, booting it to safety.
Both sloppy defensive errors-both easily preventable.
So of course he could have prevented the goals.

Lati had to take that red card because he dithered on the ball/gave it a way which he’s done a few times prior (Sheff U and maybe WBA).Lati did his best to singlehandedly throw away the result at Bristol lol
I'm not sure I'd blame either of the CBs for the goals - first one, it's a dangerous ball in and quite unfortunate with the combination of Rushworth and the post putting it right on Downes' toe. Second goal one of the three players near the front post has to get contact on the ball, you can't have a corner landing on the grass in the 6 yard box.
Wouldn't mind him starting at Swansea though. I don't think it makes much difference. Thomas is clearly our best CB, need him back.
Lati isn’t perfect but their 9 yesterday had the freedom of the CBS to take the ball down and play. Lati would have made it more difficult for him.Lati did his best to singlehandedly throw away the result at Bristol lol

Maybe true, but he's much worse in possession, doesn't have the ability to step into midfield like the others do. It's pick your poison really.Lati isn’t perfect but their 9 yesterday had the freedom of the CBS to take the ball down and play. Lati would have made it more difficult for him.
