What's new

Levi Colwill

Don’t think he’s ever gonna be the level required, not been the same since the injury. Decent on the ball but can’t do the basics of a centre half and gets bullied pretty much every game.. need 2 top class centre backs before we even begin to challenge for European places.
 
Him and Fofana were embarrassed by Caicedo. Somebody that understands that you must be aggressive as a CB. You must be aggressive in general to succeed in this league.

sh*ttiest player amongst a sea of sh*t today. Made a striker that has been absolute sh*t all season, playing for the worst team in league so far, look like prime Drogba. He did the same with Delap and made the club think Delap was a future superstar. Colwill would fit into Wenger's Arsenal team, the guy is soft as sh*t.

I have still never seen anything from this guy. i don't get how the likes of Tomori, Chalobah etc are deemed not up to standrad and this guy is deemed to be an elite talent with the scousers apparently sniffing around him. Maybe its us again and he will go on to be a great defender somewhere but to me he is a stereotypical hyped up CB with average talent, little physicality, positionally dubious and absolutely hyped up with an overblown ego and sense of entitlement. I wouldn't say that i am against the guy, just that i have never seen anything to warrant the hype he has received.
 
Like I kept saying and will continue to say he is just hyped by Chelsea fans because he comes from our academy. There is nothing I have seen of him in any game since he hit the first team to suggest he will get to the levels of a top level defender.

He is a Mattew Upson of Cobham.

If we want to challenge and become serious he will not be our starting defender
 
Levi Colwill – 3

Levi Colwill struggled to cope with the physicality of Brian Brobbey before eventually conceding a penalty. The Sunderland striker bullied him for the entirety of the first half, and there were plenty of warning signs before Jarred Gillett pointed to the spot.

-3 seems charitable with that pathetic excuse of a CB performance.
 
Why have people ever said that Colwill is good. What are the watching? I have never seen him play well and gave never rated him. It's actually polite to say he is half decent or even average, he is not. He is hopeless and has absolutely nothing in his locker. With him and Fofana as our CB pairing, god help us. Why are we prepared to pay one hundred million on another midfielder when we could spend that on two elite CB's? If the powers that be really fun can't see this issue, we are truly screwed.
 
Colwill's defensive abilities have always been questionable. Good on the ball, but off it he is far from what is needed to be a solid defender. I feel like If he doesn't improve this area of his game (which is mad to say about a CB) then he'll eventually lose his place.

He is good on the ball but always seems likely to be bullied by more physical opponents. He would probably do better in one of the European leagues.

If we can still get a decent price for him I wouldn't be averse to selling. Certainly we should keep Josh over him.
 
A CB getting yanked at halftime because they spent 45 minutes getting manhandled is downright humiliating. Let alone the captain as well.
Big Colwill supporter, but he's been on my sh*t list for the past few weeks. Two years ago, I pointed out a few things he needed to sort out if he ever wanted to be a top Premier League CB.

Still weak as piss.
Still gets turned easily.
Still poor in the air.

Some like to point out Palmer's ego, but I think Colwill is worse. Feel like we've given him the armband far too early, and it reflects his poor attitude on the pitch.

If you have watched colwil in the last 3 seasons, this is his weakness. Nothing new.

Ah, get what you are saying. And yes you are right. Some of us have been unconvinced from the very outset when he was being overhyped whilst Lewis Dunk was teaching him the ropes.

The issue is that it's our entire defence.

Fofana is horrible in the air and gets turned easily.
Anselmino, much like Sarr, is a pony and will get destroyed in this league.
Acheampong I want to stay at RB because we saw similar issues when he played CB.

Lacroix, physical as he is, has just been a bozo akin to Koulibaly.

We are absolutely justified in questioning the move at the time, given everything going on, but I still think we whiffed hard by not pushing for Jacquet last January. He looks like an absolute unit at Liverpool now.
