WAWAWUTO17 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 39 minutes ago, FreshOwl said: Everton cut through their centre half pairing like a knife through butter most of the game. Average championship defender, who never should have been near the captaincy like someone earlier said He wasn't average for us though. He was a top draw defender since they day we signed him. It's only in the past 18 months we saw his performances decline. But he had a brilliant end to the season and even got injured fighting to keep us up knowing he wasn't going to be staying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1212 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I could never forgive him after that Middlesbrough goal, it was truly a comedy show of the highest order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_Trustful Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I’m quite happy I don’t ever have to watch the aimless ‘Lees Lob’ as he punts another nothing ball up the pitch. Still, he did quite well for us but should never have been given the captaincy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I am probably among Tom’s most supportive fans. Defensively I’d say losing him slightly (but not considerably) weakens us. Lees-Iorfa would be slightly better defensively than Dom with either Sam or Dunkley. However, I fully accept that if we are to play out from the back against most teams, Lees had to go. Oppositions pressed us into passing to Tom, knowing full well he’d chip a poor ball forward and risk possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southie_Owl Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I wonder how many times during last nights game he was sat on the pitch like he’s out of breath and just lost a cup final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelfin Platz Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I quite liked Lees even though he's hopeless with the ball at his feet. Bit timid for either a centre half and/or a captain but I was hoping we'd be able to hang on to him at the end of last season. Really pleased we didn't now, hope he makes a go of what's left of his career, glad to see the back of him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuntItLikeDielna Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Lees was great until about 2018, then without Loovens to hold his hand, he regressed to a bottom half champ cb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
