2017/18 Ashley Williams

He has improved but is it me or did drop his shoulder for Mo Sislaks goal. Should've put his mug in the way.

I think Williams is Sam's type of player so I don't expect him to be going anywhere in January.

His upturn in form suggests you are right

Absolute crime when a defender turns his back on a shot but most of them do it these days.

Kenny wouldn't, he'd take it in the gonads if it meant keeping the ball out. That's the difference between a big daft Taff and a born and bred Blue.

Mick Lyons would have deffo got in the way of that Salah shot.

SA will get him working harder, but William's is not the answer in terms of our Central defender conundrum.

Not his biggest fan but I'm not having it that he turned his back.
He moved his arm to stop any chance of them being awarded a penalty.
If it had hit him you just know it would have been awarded.

Nah he turns away, as soon as I saw a replay from like Pickford's view I thought if he was braver he could have got his face/head in the way.

Maybe you missed the born and bred blue turning his back on the ball when he scored the own goal the other week.

Leave it yeah you massive wool.

Weeks ago that, boys come on so much since.

..I think it’s a bit unfair to level criticism of Williams for that goal. He’s lacks lots of things, but he’s certainly not one to shirk a tackle or fail to get a block in. Mane skinned him for the missed chance on the stroke of half-time when he needed to be ‘stopped’ but other than that he coped ok.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

He strikes me as an emotional man and I think him not getting wales to the World Cup after all the Euro hype really affected him but Koeman didn’t have the man management skills to sort it out. Seems to me Sam’s come in and put a much needed arm round him and told him he’s dead good really and has nice hair. I’m just guessing but with the emphasis Sam has on sports psychology it makes sense.

Sunday was Williams' best game this season by far.

And the more I look at the Mane incident he shouldn’t have been left in that position but the current golden boy got himself the wrong side of Solanke and was easily eased under the ball at the throw in

 

[maccavennie]

He gave Cuco a right good rollicking then went over to him, told him to puff his chest out and gave him a good old pat on the shoulder as if to say "come on, focus and keep going"

I liked that.

I think Williams will be able to play in a Fat Sam team as the gap between our back four and our midfield 5 will be so narrow the opposition won't get a run at him.
