2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

[Bazlar]

This lad is absolute class

 

[Dixie1sixty]

No idea what your getting at?

I'm just asking who you support that's all.

 

[Amokachi1995]

Antonio was an absolute donkey today wasn't he

Always thought he was quite dangerous but did nothing today.

Ok, well yes, I'm an Everton fan.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Thought he would go into a battle physically with Antonio today but might at risk of being outfoxed with Antonio’s experience. Haha. Er no.

Love him quite fairly winning ball near the corner and smashing the man as well and just trotting away before smirking at the award of a foul.

He deserves maximum credit himself, but the club and Kev have clearly managed his development, his loan and introduction to the squad perfectly. Makes a nice change. He has broken into the 1st team exactly at the point of being “ready”.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Not a side in the league that wouldn't have this kid in the squad. Rarity.

 

[RomanReigns]

Man City will sign him for 100 mil and then we will reinvest the money on a Tosun regen and a schneiderlin regen and all will be back to normal again

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Keeps getting better and better so composed. Quick and nifty with his feet. Dare I say it a Brian Labone clone. Greatness awaits.

 

[Sweeneytoad]

This lad is going to go on to big things, sadly not with us. A good bit of scouting by the club (which is a very rare thing to say).

We did sign in the first place which kind of makes a mockery of your point.

 

[Tel001]

Anyone changed their tune?

Not yet Zat… I still don’t think he is a world record transfer for a defender at this point.

He’s a great prospect though , has been great this season

 

[arch stanton]

MoTD2 trying to sell him off already, to the RS no less.

 

[Zatara]

I've seen Dyche saying more than once that they are not over-coaching him ie: "Jarrad (Branthwaite) continues to learn and to find that Premier League way. We’re not over-coaching him, we’re letting him go a little bit but he’s doing a very good job."

If there are any pro-level coaches or trainers here, I would love to hear what that means in practice. Because in my thinking that would also mean errors and potential howlers, but those are nonexistent in his performances.

You remember when Rooney played for us as a kid? Proper maverick and looked like he would be the best in the world if you just let him play?

Goes to United and while he looked amazing, a bit of the natural maverick was lost as they coached him to play to their system. This benefited Ronaldo as Rooney sacrificed himself.

With Branthwaite, I'm taking it to mean that while theyre coaching him as part of the group in defensive phases...theyre not moulding him to be rigid and robotic.

Hope that makes sense.

I take it also to mean that Dyche knows how good he is and how much potential he has -- hes said the same about Onana as well.

 

[Nymzee]

We need to already be looking to buy his replacement btw. No way should we wait too long to do this. Even if he’s still here, bring him in.

 

[Eggs]

….and he‘s made Garth Crooks ‘Team of The Week’
