Topic: Jarell Quansah

[Shankly998]

Less strong players mentally would have buckled after such a fuck up. The fact that he kept on playing well afterwards gives me great hope for his future it was his first big mistake not like he makes them constantly.

[lgvkarlos]

It was a dreadful mistake but he didn't let it affect the rest of the game, which is pretty impressive for such a young lad in that inviroment. 

It's all part of his development and if other players could have been better in front of goal it wouldn't have been as important.

[AndyMuller]

Seen it again this morning and it looked even more lazy than yesterday.

[Koplass]

That was a .04 Xg chance from Opta. So it was not easy even wo the goalie in position. Like the best chance of the game was the one Fernandes miss hit and Kelleher had an easy save(he was also onside by the looks of it)

Yes, unfortunately for Jarell, it was an exceptional take by Fernandes. 99% of the time, that mistake wouldn't have resulted in a goal, even if it wasn't an ideal place to give the ball away.

Same. Love the lad but what on earth was he thinking?

VVD was back and Kell was back to his right clearly off his line.

He could have gone back to Kell or past forward.

His lazy ball is spinning my head.

[jillcwhomever]

Get over it people, he's a young lad and young players make errors, he'll learn from it. Had Konate made the error would he be this much criticised I wonder?

He’s misjudged the pass, it happens multiple times every match to every player. Most of the time it doesn’t lead to a goal. Unfortunately this time it did.

He has a casual style about him similar to Virgil, which means some think he’s been too casual. It also helps makes him the excellent player he is. It proved costly on this occasion but says a lot about him that he played really well after it had happened in a match like this.

If we’d taken our chances it wouldn’t have been as costly as it was. That’s the real issue for us, not just in this game, despite winning most games we aren’t always as clinical as we need to be at the moment

[Legs]

The mistake has been made all players make them and it was a good strike by Fernandes.

He should have passed back to Kelleher as Van Djik was telling him but shit happens he played well afterwards.

It’s true. We should have been out of sight.

Against a rival you to be two goals up, certainly against UTD away.but you need to concentrate massively.

His future is bright and let’s not forget he went down the right to feed Elliot who got the pen.

Lad needs our support.

Sad that he has turned comments off on Instagram but fully expected in today’s world.

Social Media should be switched off. World was a better place without it

Some of the dickheads off here no doubt.

Was one of those shit happens moments, kids had an incredible season.

[kop306]

quansah did really well leading up to the penalty

he will be fine jurgen will start him again on thursday

[spider-neil]

The mistake will hopefully serve him well in the future as it will (hopefully) mean he won't make a blind pass again.

Pathetic by those people. 

[wah00ey]

This lad has been nothing short of magnificent for us this season when called upon.

Nunez, Salah and Diaz's profligacy is why we lost on Sunday, not Quansah's mistake.

Anyone having a pop at him is an utter disgrace.

[spider-neil]

All players make mistakes. I'm surprised it's taken Quansah this long to make his first major error.

[MonsLibpool]

@ing a player with criticism on social media is something that's very difficult to understand.

[Crosby Nick]

Just shows how hard it is to play centre back for us. A high line, front foot defending essential, winning your one on one battles crucial, got to be good on the ball and capable of carrying it forward yourself or making progressive passes. One poor pass 45 yards from goal can lead to a chance.

Frankly feels miraculous that a young lad can have played so many games for us without making a mistake like that sooner. And pretty mad that even out more established options make it look so easy.

[TepidT2O]

What I like about Quansah (and Bradley actually) is that when they make a rare mistake, they don’t give two shits.


All players make mistakes, especially young players.  How you deal with it is by far the most important thing

Spot on.
I teach for living and always say to my pupils, who do you want to do work in your house, a) the person just out of college who's never made a mistake b) the guy who's been doing it years and has made hundreds of mistakes.  After they choose "b" I ask them why there getting so upset about their mistakes.

[Draex]

He's ace.

[cptrios]

I hope he shut comments off preemptively rather than because he was getting abuse. Jurgen even told him to do it in the presser.

[Original]

Not if you're a complete c*nt with nothing else to do, then it's entirely understandable

[B0151?]

Tbf he could have closed the comments to shut out trolling from rival fans as much as anything. Seems sensible.

In regards to his actual mistake, degree of bad luck. Bruno is the only one that does that for them. Anyone else just runs into Virg imo.

As has been said, the rest of the game you wouldn't have been able to tell from his performance that had happened. There was no lack of confidence or him trying too hard. Just his normal composed game. That's a really good sign.

[Egyptian36]

I love him. I remember his first game when he came on as a sub, it was a very intense game think it was against Newcastle? with his first touch of the game he made a composed unexpected pass thru the middle, couldn't believe how calm he was. He is going to be top player for us. Mistakes are normal even VVD did a terrible one against Arsenal.

[Bobinhood]

The guys been an absolute revelation. He does however every now and then remind you that he is very young and very inexperienced at the level. No getting around that, because hes very young and very inexperienced at the level. I miss Matip desperately.

Having said that i fully understand any youngsters going to make the odd mistake and youve just got to take the good with the bad. Hes got all the tools hes years ahead of schedule in terms of development and his contribution has been immense.

[farawayred]

I'd start him against Atalanta unless he has a knock. He's been very good and it will boost his confidence even more.

[SamLad]

I'd bring him in off the bench, so the crowd can give him a huge welcome.  the lad deserves it.

[DefJack]

Perhaps a view held only by me, but I cannot shake the feeling that our season has hinged on the emergence and unwarranted omission of this young man.

Outstanding when called upon, resolute in defence and brilliant in possession, he has provided the perfect complimentary piece to Van Dijk in both style and character.

Discarded on account a single error in favour of a more "illustrious and reputable" colleague, how dearly his absence has cost us...

He is our future, he is the future - the next in the lineage of outstanding ball playing centre-backs that have reaped acclaim and award throughout the history of English football. The sooner we embrace that the better.

The past ended at 4:00 PM this afternoon, with a barely audible whimper.
The future starts now.
