2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

[Walken]

Kinda amazing that some of our managers had this lad out on loan while we was playing the likes of Keane.

Top quality

I'm anything other than a lampard fan but he did jettison keane away from the first team

 

[ElGato]

Seemed a little over eager to win the ball today and a few times (albeit slightly unlucky on occasions with deflections) came out without possession leaving us exposed. Perhaps knew that Southgate was in the stands.

However still bullied Watkins around the park, another 7-8 out of ten

 

[Milk]

Sum him up in one word: “Commanding“

Took no messing when Duran poked Myko in his wounded head.
Already looks to be a leader and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him captaining England at some future point

 

[Mark barnett]

Best defensive prospect in Europe, another very good performance today

 

[Vedder]

The lad just seems to have calm and commanding nature to himself

Watkins rolled him a couple of times, so not perfect, but still very good.

I thought he had a middle-ish game. Watkins gave him some problems today, although the officials let Watkins away with a fair amount.

Himself and Tarkowski had a tough day at the office without Villa really threatening Pickford.

Watkins gives every centre half problem in the league, he is a class act. 5 goals & 7 assists in his last 10 games.

I thought Branthwaite did as well as anyone I have seen most up against him.

He's at the wrong club for plaudits, sadly.

Once he's elsewhere the awards will flow.

​

To be fair in the 1st half Tarkowski was the one marking Watkins and I was worried he had a yard on him. What Branthwaite did well was he pushed Watkins deeper. The times when Watkins won the duals where much higher up the pitch so he still had a lot to do and Branthwaite can recover. So in committing himself he wasn’t as exposed. I do agree with some posters
It could have gone wrong.

“He showed good potential at Everton, but Chelsea have elevated his game to another level and deserve great credit”.
