Unbelievable Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 we actually have competition for at position - thats positive for once... Except similar to the forward situation, none of the contenders is actually proven to be currently of the required quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 He's started two games and we've conceded 9 goals. I would sell him and put Dummett back on the starting lineup, he's a proper defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're taking the piss but I blame the lack of cover for Janmaat for the 2nd goal and I thought Haidara had a good game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 He's a massive step up on Dumbshit both defensively and offensively, not a great game today but shouldn't be dropped any time soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 He's a massive step up on Dumbshit both defensively and offensively, not a great game today but shouldn't be dropped any time soon. The joy of having him and Aarons down the left instead of Dummett and Gouffran. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Dropped next game because we hadn't conceded so many goals until he came in (In Pardew's warped mind). I can guarantee you it will happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 He'll be dropped regardless whether he played well or not, Pardew will use it as an excuse to bring Dummett back in. Wouldn't surprise me if he drops Cabella either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 He's still a bit all over the place defensively & while he wasn't directly responsible for any goals (having not seen them back) he doesn't half add something going forward, probably our best player first half.

nufc4eva 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
Optimistic Nut 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.

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...
