Jarell Quansah Player Thread (D)

Big mistake putting Jared on today Gravenberch was playing well in that position and it went to sh*t once he come on

Really poor for their goal. He should have confronted the player with the ball rather than track the player he was marking. Trent was out of position which left a gaping hole at full back, but Quansah has to come across as not doing so allowed them to come right up to the penalty area. That's just basic decision making. A top CB comes out of his position to deal with the threat rather than ignore it. Have an image of John Terry sliding across the sideline to do just that.

He is young ? Still developing and a back up CB right now

He isn’t a “top CB” yet and clubs don’t have “top CB’s” sitting on the bench

He's young and going backwards I'm afraid.

He started the season and now he's probably behind Virg, Ibou, Gomez and Gravenberch might end up being used before him if he carries on.

I'm afraid as a right back he's terrible with very few attributes we would want ideally for that role. The only reason he's getting used there is to keep him away from centre back.

We only have 4 recognised CBs. That 3 and 4 are Joey and Jarrell will probably be where a title bid collapses if we can't get Ibou and Virg playing week in week out together. 

It's quite ugly back there at the moment.

Joe is okay for a game or two but any more than that its big trouble and Quansah looks like a deer in the headlights.

He was so much better than this last season where he was progressing into a bit of a monster.

I think the coach has to take some blame here for using him quite badly. 

Title bid collapsing 


He is a young player who hasn’t had any sort of run in the team this season

He has shown his qualities

He will make mistakes as he is developing just like any young player with potential

Confidence is key and right now his is low

He will be given a chance against Southampton in the cup

Exactly what he did said it in the game he should have come out to the wing to the bigger threat instead ne stayed infield, he isn’t good enough to be a first team player and we can’t press on so many fronts with him

Yes what you are describing there is a player you don't want in the centre of your defence for a title bid.

A player who if he carries on playing and carries on playing the way he is will cost you points in league matches and send you down the league ladder.

He either must get better or we must get him out the side. We cannot carry a centre half be it Gomez or Quansah.

These squad players have to be good enough when called upon. If they are not then that will be that. We will be found out.

If you're in the 23 man squad these days with the amount of games and stress a season takes with all the matches you have to be good enough when called upon.

They are good enough

But they are also human and for many it’s not easy to be just thrown into games when they haven’t had many minutes recently

It’s a hard game for any young CB to come into especially with the way the game was going

Agreed - he’ll come good

Arne has done a lot right since he's been here, bringing on Quansah today was not one of them. It was never going to be. The last thing you do when a lad's confidence is on the floor is bring him on in a game where we need a win and it's 11v10.

By far the worst he's played in a red shirt, it was sloppy play after sloppy play. The game was being played at a frenetic pace in that last half hour, Quansah's biggest weakness is how sluggish he is over the first 5 yards.

I was crying for him to get Quansha on just so we could get back to a back 4 and release Grav further up.


Hindsight F***ing sux!

Didn't see the game so can't comment on his overall performance but the criticism of him for their 2nd goal seems harsh.

It isn't

Well I think he had a very tough choice. The eventual goal scorer  had run past Trent and if Quansah goes across to the wide man it's an easy pass to put the guy in on goal. I don't blame him for choosing to go with the runner.

Having decided to do that, his handling of that runner is not the best so, yeah, can be criticised but the criticism about not going out to the wide man is harsh imo. He wouldn't have got there in time to stop an easy pass to the other guy.

In all honesty, it's basically a case of what happens when you're a man down and chasing a winner. They break out and get a 2 v 1. Not going to dig out either him or Trent (and I usually like a moan about Trent) on that one.

Agree on all points. I just think he should've done better with the ball in to Robinson, or at least with his positioning to prevent the cross.... Is what it is. Hope he gets it together soon. My oldest boy got his kit while we've been over here 🤣

It wasn't easy for him, and ultimately it was Trent who was at fault for leaving a gaping hole at full back, but Quansah has to make a better decision there than just track his man (he didnt track his man effectively either given he was able to cut the ball back). You do see CBs leave their man and go out to the full back position to try and stop the man who is running with the ball unchallenged. Trent was largely culpable for the goal (he was awful for their opener also), but Quansah doesn't bail him out either.

Being hooked in the first game at half time has really shook the kids confidence.. I agree under Klopp the kid looked dead set as a quality CB., right now he’s not playing with confidence & afraid to make mistakes.

A shout out to JQ for stepping in tonight and carrying off where Joe left off. I feel as though the flack he's had this season hasn't merited the actual performances (Fulham cameo aside).

Besides the 1 moment where the player gets goal side of him and gives him the slightest push, he was faultless.

Now he has a chance in the upcoming games to grab it with both hands, what better way to start off than our biggest rivals.

Its not flak as such ... i dont think anyway. For me I dont think hes quite ready. Dont want his confidence shattering before his career has truely started.

Big one for him sunday. Doubtful Ibou makes it I imagine.

Yep it will be Quansah on Sunday. He had a nice performance under not much pressure from West Ham to set him up for weekend and a full week now to prepare for a game in which he knows he will play.

I think he can do it but there's mistakes in him and that brings United into the game slightly more.

We could be coasting like in the cup when a loose square ball undone us and it's game on.

Big day for him tomorrow if he does start. Does he sink or swim?

Tough tough season so far for Jarell.

Made a big contribution with his block tackle late in the game today.
