Luke Thomas

[Lcfc-1992]

He’s got Faes to look after him now 

[GlennyFox55]

Looking forward to seeing his link up play with Barnes and KDH down the left channel.

How we've been playing recently, it kind of precludes him from getting forwards anyway. I've not seen much improvement in him physically since he came in which is a disappointment. The talent is there, but he can quite easily coast a yo yo career off that alone. Not seen much evidence yet that he has the desire to improve his physique and become the type of player that the top 8 teams would be looking for.

Top potential..his time to show over a long period that he’s got what it takes.

I believe in him…because he’s shown he can make the grade…

Howling at or marking every error is the total wrong attitude to take,every player has ups and downs, through every game, & periods…

support & encouragement is what one expects from a young guy being given his wings…

[Chelmofox]

Step up Lukey boy, your city needs you now. 

 

Be very interesting to see how you deals with being in a much better defensive setup. The talent is there, and he has done very well in the past, and maybe a decent run is what he needs right now.

[Lesta2014]

Shame for him we got a game then a break! Could of had good run until January to cement place, I imagine we will want to bring in a full back now as priority unless we push wormleighton on? 

[South Shire Fox]

Didnt he come on for Justin in the home game against West Ham last season and do really well? 

[Ric Flair]

Go on Luke, you've done it before and you can do it again. He's due a goal or assist an'all to really piss a few off.

He can cross well but we never really put the ball into the box from side areas.

We need a new LB urgently 

[He aint bald]

The worst part is the lack of cover for Castagne and Thomas, not Castagne and Thomas themselves.

 

As for some opinions that Luke gets bullied...... play mendy or Braybooke as CDM so Luke looks bigger

Luke Thomas won’t make it.

We’ve all seen Luke Thomas have some outstanding games for us, the job he did on Mo Salah last season was brilliant.

We know the talent is there, he’s 21 and can be inconsistent, but the injuries to Ricardo and JJ potentially give him a 6 month run as first choice left back and for him to really step up as a player.

Starting Saturday this could be his chance to cement his place in the team for a long time. 

[Jobyfox]

He’s come in before and done a steady, if unspectacular, job. His ceiling might not be as high as others as he probably hasn’t quite got the skill and pace of modern fullbacks. 
 

I’d still currently back him over the other options. He’s a square peg in a square hole and nowhere near as poor as some are making out. Also, he’s still only 21, to write off his future development and potential at this stage in his career is ridiculous. 
 

Play him next game please Brendan.

I wrote this at the weekend for the fosseway, really wish it wasn't so desperately needed now!

We need someone to be the starting LB straight away. Borna Sosa looks good from your list. Big unit, likes going forward and is already an international for a pretty decent team. The only problem is, half the PL look like they're after him.

[BenTheFox]

I just don't think he's good enough, I'm afraid. I hope he proves me wrong though.

Hopefully a run of games can work wonders for him. Always thought he did OK in a back 4. Back 5, not so much.

That's funny, I've actually thought the opposite when I've watched him. 

[Cincinnati Fox]

He will go with big dan at rb and Timmy at lb for West Ham.

A RB (Amartey) that very often looks like he can't play football and a CB (Evans) that wants the game played at 1mph. That'll be a treat for the fans

 

I think you're probably right. I'd go with keeping Amartey and brining Thomas in personally, but I'd imagine the risk averse Rodgers will opt with big dan at rb.

[fuchsntf]

I reckon back 4 is so obvious,we keep 3/4 of our Backline..With 1/4 being 

 more than a competent proven player…

 

Castagna….Amartey. Faes….Thomas..

 

Our middle 2 have been the BBone of our defensive success..

Amartey / Faes / Evans / Castagne

Armarty plays right back like a centre half and gravitates back into the middle and Castagne, though he can do a job in an emergency, is not great at this level and flounders somewhat on the left.

 

Round pegs round holes. Castagne on the right leaves that side solid. Thomas on the left is fine. Play it your way and both sides are vulnerable!

Possible, but I have my doubts given just how much of the right side has become Castagnes responsibility with Maddison drifting to his more natural central position. Don't think Amartey would be asked (trusted/capable) to do that job.
