The College Dropout Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 He's better at CB but rarely exposed defensively as a LB. Can only think of 1 bad game against Navas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 As a LB he is awful, CB he is rank-average and as a Premier league team we should have far better. The only reason we're being so nice to him is because of how f***ing abysmal our defence is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Speak for yourself. I think he's an average defender with obvious potential to be a good one as he learns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Steven Taylor looked far better as a youngster than Dummett so as far as potential's concerned I don't see him going on to be even as good as Taylor. For me he's too small and poor in the air to be a decent CB, Fletcher's goal for the mackems being an example coming to mind immediately and his communication/awareness of players around him is poor too, see his own goal against Burnley. Sorry like but this is proof of how low expectations are amongst the fanbase when we're looking forward to Paul Dummett returning to the starting XI in any capacity. Next Peter Ramage.

As a youngster Steven Taylor was being heralded as being a potential John Terry (ridiculous I know, but he was performing extremely well at the time), he had Chelsea and Everton linked quite consistently too. Who have you ever seen linked to Dummett and who has ever looked at him as potentially being a star for us? Dummett wouldn't start either at LB or CB for any team in the league this season so why the f*** should we look forward to him coming back? All we're doing is replacing one utterly s*** defender who's OK going forward for a defender who is OK at defending and utterly s*** going forward.

Dr.Spaceman Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'm not totally offended by Dummett, he has his limitations but he'd improve our defence more than Steven Taylor would at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you're going off for that like, Taylor was absolutely phenomenal on his last appearance against Man U. Dummett in any appearance last season was average at best.

A wuz there too. Was a proper weird goal scored by some random scandinavian bloke, Henrik Pedersen maybe? All Taylor had to do was stop fucking about and put his foot through it.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 NUFC.com said: - Massadio Haidara was replaced by Liam Gibson after he turned awkwardly to reach a misplaced pass. The left-back went down clutching his leg right in front of the dugouts with no opposition player involved. That doesn't sound like a groin injury.

Apparently we gave him a few tips as we wanted him fit and ready for us in january. He's injured now for a longer period than expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
