Foster and Beyer remain out
From VK
Foster has had surgery - no details given - not likely to end his season but out a while
Beyer - progressing
Taylor - was close last week at Liverpool (he was actually warming up on the pitch pre game)

Pleased to hear Foster's absence confirmed as a physical injury and not a return of his mental health struggles.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 1:37 pmFrom VK

I still think Beyer is the best CB at the club and can't wait to have him back personally.

Foster's absence in particular is a real blow...he was looking very useful.

Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
Is it just me or do we seem to have more injuries this season than most clubs ? And further more when our players are injured they seem to be missing for prolonged periods Is this a problem with our fitness levels or an issue with our medical staff or have we just been mega unlucky ?
Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
Foster could well have scored 2 at Liverpool. He is the better finisher from what little I have seen. Be interesting to see them together!ElectroClaret wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 1:48 pmFoster's absence in particular is a real blow...he was looking very useful.

Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
I did confirm that it was a physical injury last week.
Have to comment on your last line, I think we are stronger with Beyer out. I think he's struggled defensively at this level.

When the United player hooked it back in for the goal, they were both flat footed. A natural defender sniffs danger out and takes up good positions.

Sky did an article last month and we were actually only 14th in terms of 'player days lost through injury'. Newcastle and Brentford were the most badly hit. We were 11th on 'number of players lost through injury', Newcastle again top of that table along with Brighton and Manure.
Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
Interesting stats. Newcastle have certainly been badly hit as have Brighton Would have thought we were up there with them but clearly not I guess you notice it more when you lose your own key playersFalcon wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 2:35 pmSky did an article last month and we were actually only 14th in terms of 'player days lost through injury'.

Looking at team news in last weekend’s paper Burnley were one of the clubs least affected by injuries.

Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
Very unfortunate news on Foster.
Kompany did confirm an injury last week but it’s sad that it requires surgery.

Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
There was a discussion on the Jordan Beyer thread yesterday, the mitigation by some for his poor form was the influx of new players and the constant changing of the back four in the early part of the season, a few people (me included) wouldn't mind us (when he's fit) slotting him into a hybrid defensive midfielder/third centre half role.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 2:08 pmI did confirm that it was a physical injury last week.

Gives the back four protection and more of a physical presence, and also allows Berge to do what he's best at. Would it work? Don't know but we have to do something different in the middle of the park and Berge playing so deep is mental.
Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
Beyer has been out of position all season. I always found Tarkowski a bit ropey when he moved to the left as well so i think its unfair to make any judgement at this stage.
More worrysome is his constant injuries, he seems very brittle for a PL centre back.

Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
Any news on esteve
Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
Agree with Goliath, I think a lot of Beyer's issues this season are because he was playing LCB. We could get away with that in the Championship, not in the PL.
Now we appear to have a solid LCB (Esteve) wouldn't mind seeing Beyer at RCB, but O'Shea is improving so Beyer may have to wait.

Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
I think one of the stories of this season will turn out to be how many games we missed Foster.
Nobody’s fault, but he’s missed 10 PL games and counting and we nearly always look better when he’s playing.

Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
Assuming no injuries pick your preferred back 5 Mine is
Muric
Assignon
O’Shea
Esteve ( from very limited minutes)
Taylor
Very tough choice especially to leave out Beyer Delcroix but they would be great back ups

A better team without Beyer yet not won a game without him.

In a season where we've been rubbish and haven't won many, I'm not so sure how strong a stat that is.

Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
Results or no results, I think Beyer has been found seriously lacking at centre back at this level. Someone mentioned above his performances in the cup ties last season too against the top clubs.claretcarrot93 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 4:47 pmHow many games have they missed?

Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
With Beyer:
3-2-10 - 0.7 points per game
Without Beyer
0-2-7 - 0.2 points per game
They’re both shite numbers, let’s be honest. O’Shea has had a longer run of games and with games he has improved.
Beyer has been in and out with injuries so hard to see any improvement in his game.
Beyer was linked with West Ham in January. He’s the obvious candidate for a sale in the summer from the defenders.

Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
Agreed but I've thought in many games this season he's looked miles off it, and often giving the ball away moving forward leaving us horribly exposed at the back. I'm not convinced he's a central defender to be honest.
Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
It’s mainly down to the standard of the opposition this season I suppose ,last year he used to charge through the middle and over the halfway line and play a decent ball to either wing ,this year they’re on him like a ton of bricks.Im sure he has the ability but it’s knowing when ,and what to do with the ball ,unfortunately we’ve never had an experienced CH to play with the youngsters.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 5:32 pmAgreed but I've thought in many games this season he's looked miles off it, and often giving the ball away moving forward leaving us horribly exposed at the back.

Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
I too think that Beyer would struggle to get in my 11 even if he were fit right now. I actually think this is a very good back four, even better if we had a new Left Back.
Assignon, O'Shea, Esteve, Taylor
I think we've subtly come away from a system that suits Beyer. I think he was/and is more suited to playing in a system with Cullen and Muric. Now he's part of a back four that has to be more defensive I think he's been a bit exposed at times. Assuming Assignon leaves I wouldn't be against giving Beyer a shot at right back.

Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
Now that we have a left sided centre back in Esteve, I would love to see Beyer play alongside him in his accustomed position at right centre back. Why Beyer over O'Shea? The answer is simple for me....he's a better player.
Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
Because hes driving forwards from the left side and is coming into the traffic on his tight foot, it looks ungainly. If he does it from the right side id expect better results.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 5:32 pmAgreed but I've thought in many games this season he's looked miles off it, and often giving the ball away moving forward leaving us horribly exposed at the back.

He does need to be very careful when he does it in this league though, lose it in there and you end up with the ball in the back of your net 5 seconds later.

Beyer was outstanding in the Championship last season. For me the "John Stone" of the Championship.However to continue that into the PL you would need to be outstanding. You just get found out in this Division

Re: Foster and Beyer remain out
Just to add, my thought process was him playing as an extra centre half who sweeps in front of the back four to free up Berge to do what he does best.
We have to find a way to allow Berge to get a game by the scruff of the neck, hamstringing him by playing him deep won't work, especially when our other central midfield options are so weak.
Beyer hadn't played very often in a back two before arriving with us, he played a lot in a back three, either the central or right sided player in the three, it's not so far fetched.
Of course I'd have preferred us to sign a central midfielder to do the job, rather than shoehorning someone else in there but our current options just aren't working.
