KLP might secretly be hoping others might suffer an injury or two this week! Other than that he just needs to maintain his form, and help keep the Bees as possibles for Europe. We will be in the media more, and even Tommy T. might be persuaded to call. It’s a fair while until the next camp in March, though.

I honestly doubt very much that he is even in Tuchels thoughts and has probably never heard of him

 

[beeeehive]

He won't even play trent at RB, no way he would pick an attacking LB who's natural position is a winger

I think Tuchel would definitely need more convincing based on KLP's years spent as a forward, plus his right footedness. He might also look at the fact we spent 40m on a LB and wonder if Brentford are really convinced KLP's future is at LB. Personally I'd say he'd be a more natural fit at RB if Kayode left, or in midfield if Jensen departs.

Should have been called up, KLP is the perfect profile for England at the moment.
Good enough to be in the team, now experienced enough to handle the pressure, yet young enough to be available for the next few tournaments. Versatile enough to be a valuable asset in tournament football even if not first choice.

Different situation to Henry who was beginning to merit selection on form but was not necessarily a good long term choice for England. KLP is exactly that

Maybe next time.

In what position should he be selected for our national team?
Cant see England selecting him for L/b is he is predominately right footed.
But he would be better at r/b than that Chelsea fella.

 

[Bigbee]

he'll never be chosen , its takes hours of training to play the way he does with us . Tuchel needs a " normal " left back to slot straight in .Diouf has more chance of being selected for the 3 Lions

He's got no chance of being selected along with any bees players, Tuchel's a clown anyway, can't take anyone seriously who claim they were wearing gloves yesterday and today it's sunny after we spanked Chelski 4-1 !!!!!!!

Djed Spencer is right footed and played most England games as a LB

His reaction to us smashing them was ridiculous.

A bit higher on the defensive full back rank would be nice haha

I have absolutely no idea what the above means.

 

[NickThe(Half)Greek]

The graphic is saying is that KLP is very good in attack (one of the highest ranked) but not so strong in defence (one of the lowest ranked).

The opposite of, for example, Wan-Bissaka, who is seen as one of highest ranked in defence and lowest ranked in attack.

What their “rank” is based on is not clear.

Yes clarification on how ranked would be useful, since if on total defensive actions can see why KLP is so low since on transitions when we are attacked he is high up the pitch and defensive cover is provided by one of our midfielders whilst he makes his recovery run.

Mainly clearances are way down… when I ran the stats before we signed Diouf, KLP was averaging 1.43/90, compared to 2.73 and 2.3 for Rico and Diouf.

He’s very much not a high volume defender, but he’s effective, so I think the stats should be adjusted for that.

What exactly equates to a clearance?

Honestly...I'm not exactly sure what differentiates the different defensive actions...I just collect the stats others create

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

Brain dead defending.

Awful.

 

[Raise The Roof]

Brain dead defending.

Awful.

Really? Was barely holding the end of his shirt, and the defender was always throwing himself to the turf.

Never given against an opposition for us

 

[badgerbee]

As mentioned in match thread, is "prolonged holding" not a thing these days then??

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

KLP has a tendency to do that week in, week out

It was crap

 

[brooks]

he has a shirt fetish

 

[Bangor Bee]

The penalty was a bit soft, but if KLP can't control himself in those situations (which it seems he can't), there is only one logical conclusion: play a taller, more physical specialist left back. I can't say I've been convinced by Diouf to date, but the second half today was more promising.

Except Diouf isnt a specialist left back either.

Sounds to me like the stats are meaningless.

 

[hanworthbee]

You'd have thought he'd have learnt after the last time.

 

[Brentford4]

Does this regularly does not learn, gave a penalty away recently for the same pen. Poor defending.

 

[Greybeard]

Yes he needs to be a bit more streetwise. A good player but still has plenty to learn.

 

[Frothybaby]

Can't he learn from Rico?

 

[cliffbee]

Can't he learn from Rico?

Maybe you've forgotten that Rico did exactly the same to concede a penalty at Sunderland last season which cost us the game.
It's a big weakness for KLP though. He's a serial offender at corners, regularly holding his opponent and not watching the flight of the ball. He's given away two pens doing it now and has got away with it on other occasions.
He probably sees it as his only option as he's constantly up against bigger and stronger players he's marking but he needs to be drilled to cut it out as it's going to keep costing us goals and points.

He could mark somebody else

Who he picks up is down to the manager and coaches.

Too late - he already did (Sunderland away last season?)

(Yes I know ….. whoosh)
