TRon Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Despite some weaknesses, both him and Santon are a million times better than Dummett. I just can't see what Dummett offers over Haidara. Haidara is athletic, gets forward, causes problems and gets back. Dummett is just shit Dummett is quite solid defensively in a championship sort of way. If were playing with 10 men in our own half for 90 mins he could do a job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 As much as I like the kid, especially for his attacking attributes, he really need to learn how to head a football. Seems near enough every jump he makes is mis-timed and every contact would suggest his head is shaped like Obertan's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 He gets forward and he's direct which I prefer. Honestly couldn't really give a shit who's picked tbh, they both have weaknesses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Dummett is better defensively, Haidara better going forward. Santon is a better all-rounder than both of them. If we could somehow merge the 3 of them we would have an excellent fullback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 There iS a decent player in there with Haidara - MUCH better coming forward than either Santon or Dummett. He is still young and a decent manager/coach could improve his reading of a game and his defensive weaknesses which are mainly as a result of his eagerness to attack. Crosses the ball with his LEFT foot, unlike Santon and has more pace than Dummett. He is raw and his game was set back by that tackle by Mcmanaman at Wigan but I would persist with him...extra coaching in the afternoons to sort him out.

Pilko Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 He was far from one of the worst offenders yesterday, but he showed some glimpses of class. I remain unconvinced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Thought this lad played well. It was very annoying when he would make runs forward, dribble too much and eventually lose it - did that 2/3 times in the first half. But as then game grew he released the ball better. Looked to have tremendous fitness. He was very good in 1v1 situations. He spent 70 minutes defending and ALWAYS supporting attacks, Navas came on but he dealt with him well too.

Hughesy Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 He is still quite clearly a better player than Dummett. We really should be looking to develop Haidara. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I honestly think he has massive potential. He has all the tools to be a world class LB. Just needs more time to get better at his decision making and be more calm with the ball at his feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just needs more time to get better at his decision making and be more calm with the ball at his feet. He looks like he's come on massively in the last year, but then I was a big fan regardless. We know he can bomb forward and put in decent crosses, but he looked physically bigger and more commanding as well. Under the right manager his value could rocket.

Kanj Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Was nice seeing him get on the right side of a strong challenge earlier when he took out Sagna, but then again, true to form - 'Sadio finds a way to get fucking dropped in nearly every match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Another reason to question Pardew's sanity. This guy s being kept out by Dummett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Whenever the poor bugger plays, we seem to lose and Pardew uses him as a scapegoat and drops him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Fullback is a much harder position if you try to get forward as well, it's easy as anything if you just keep the entire pitch in front of you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I love this guy, but I love him more with Aarons ahead of him. They seem to have a little bit of an understanding to go forward together and overlap etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to have a little bit of an understanding to go forward together and overlap etc Yeh they do look like they have a good understanding, they were menacing in the pre-season games in New Zealand. Theres huge potential there for our left hand side to be sorted for a good few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I think Dummett is more reliable than Haidara, but certainly more limited at the same time. Eventually it won't even be up for debate, barring any injuries we will be wondering who we'd rather have over him and Santon. At that stage one of them will leave...Dummett to remain as backup.
