Lotus Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 He'll be off soon anyway. Dummett's exactly Rafa's type of defender and character. Can't see him losing that position with the exception of the odd rotation. He did just sign Yedlin and Lazaar, not of the Dummett ilk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I don't see anything except a good athlete who is okay 1v1 in defensive areas. Crossing, passing, general defending, pap. Yet you praised Dummett for having the exact same attributes? Dummett is a good defender. He knows how to defend with his mind. He generally makes the right decisions. He's generally where he's meant to be positionally. Rarely too tight. Rarely too wide. Has good concentration. Strong in the air. He's just always thinking about danger and how to stop it. Much like Aaron Hughes, he's probably not considered a CB for us due to a perceived lack of strength but he thinks like a proper defender. He's rarely responsible for cheap goals. He's rarely sleeping at the back post. But yes he's pap going forward and on the ball. And he's not a great athlete, lacks agility. Haidara on the other hand does not know how to defend. He's still learning the position. He gets caught napping when the ball is on the other side. He's in the wrong positions a fair bit. That would be fine if he was any good going forward but he's not. The vast majority of his crosses don't beat the man blocking it. He also often does the Dummett aimless chip upfield. Overall football skills Dummett-esque with better athleticism without knowing how to defend or the aerial prowess. Davide Santon - a decent footballer. Good touch. Passing and movement okay. Produced the square root of eff all in the final third and couldn't defend. The amount of goals conceded with him and Colo on that left side not caring at all about their responsibilities was shameful. Masters of pap. Santon couldn't even be bothered to run back into position. This is s**** like. He's very prone to getting far too tight and being rinsed as it takes him a year to turn.

TRon Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 the usage of the word pap by dropout is fucking terrible. Pap is like a porridge they cook in Africa. Maybe TCD was force fed it as a kid and ended up with a severe dislike of it. I was like that with rice pudding at school it made me want to puke.

John P Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Bump. Thought he was great when he came on yesterday, aggressive in the challenge and good going forward (missed chance aside). Shame that he's been permanently injured for the last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't shock me if he eventually left on a season long loan just to shift him off the wage bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
