I can't believe Lauren gets so much stick.. He is a quality player!!! There are very few full backs that has his composure and good touch.. His touch I think is oone of his main assets, as a footballer he is actually quite talented.. He is committed, goes in strong and overlaps on the right.. I honestly can't think of that many full backs that are significantly bettet than him..

We have far more serious and urgent problems to solve, like the midfield, than to worry about Lauren, who is very consistent and in the main reliable!

And he the only 'hardman' in the team

I hope nobody will come around any more to talk about Lauren's supposed "good decision making". I don't care what side he's on - you don't turn to your own goal - you hoof it out of touch with whatever leg if you are not sure. Worse still, a veteran should NOT get bundled off the ball by a midget!

That was a mistake I would expect from Clichy! That is what I mean when I say that Lauren does not show the mental level you would expect from a veteran. He just doesn't.

Sigh, I should have known you'd dig this post up...

Lauren didn't really get bundled off the ball. He simply fell over when he saw he wasn't going to get it which is a trait I absolutely hate in footballers.

Since this is the Neill thread, I'd like to say if that happened to Neill, Cole would be in hospital with a broken leg and Neill would be at home reading our praises for his attempt at ending Cole's career, and not watching what would transpire from the floor.
