Andymc1 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I dont know what people have seen that makes them have a good opinion of him. He was awful against Liverpool and Sunderland. Scoring a goal shouldn't mask what was a poor defensive showing, including schoolboy defending when standing still appealing for offside. I know everyone likes to have a local lad playing and trying his best but he is massively out of his depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know everyone likes to have a local lad playing and trying his best but he is massively out of his depth. can't say he was awful against Liverpool like, got caught out appealing for offside (which many more experienced defenders do similar) but on the whole was very steady. what he had to do he done poorly against sunderland mind.

KDT Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Give him a chance to play left back before writing him off, I don't think anyone is expecting him to be a brilliant centre half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Was poor against City too tbf. Navas is an excellent winger but Paul looked very slow on the turn. Doesn't look to be a natural fullback imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 What in any of the performances he's made at centre back suggests to you that his position? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymc1 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 What in any of the performances he's made at centre back suggests to you that his position? If that's aimed at me then nothing in his performances suggest he's a centre back. He doesn't seem to have the normal attributes to be a full back either which was shown in the second half vs Man City although I think his failings would be less obvious in the lower leagues or in the SPL. Like I said, he didn't stand out in the few times I seen him at conference level. Although Centre Back isn't his position I would have still liked to have seen some knowledge of the game and a bit know how when doing basic defending but it wasn't there for me. I'll be very, very surprised if Dummett ends up a steady PL performer. This is Colos thread though so lets not go too far off topic though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look to be a natural fullback imo He didn't give Navas a sniff. What? For about 25 minutes Navas tore him to shreds again and again putting balls in the box. It was so bad he got subbed after being subbed on. Anita I think it was dropped back there and looked much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Can't believe Dummett has been written off by a few already We definitely have Britishmediaitis amongst a section of our fans, build them up then nuke the fuck out of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Mags Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Mbiwa doesn't look like a full back to me. I'd agree with Dave, and shift Santon across and bring in Dummett. We've just had two successive shut-outs against Chelsea and Spurs, so I can't see the case for major changes. It's not as though Colo has been pulling up trees this season. Dummett is useless. League 1/SPL footballer. Useless is a bit strong like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
