DJ_NUFC Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Well your posts suit you perfectly. I wish we didn't have to read them, though. Maldini ffs. You should count yourself privileged to read my posts, to be honest, seeing as you lack any shred of wit or colour in your life. I like to think I'm a civilizing force around here when unnecessary insults are flying around, bringing some good old Canadian peacekeeping the world takes for granted.

Ronaldo Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Why is there this myth that Dummett can defend? He gets beaten by the opposition winger regularly. I'd want to see Mbemba play alongside Lascelles with Clark at left back soon. Because he can't attack so it's used to justify what he offers. That and 'well really he's a centre back'. Putting aside the other arguments about his abilities, why does Rafa play him them? He'd be a fucking idiot to a play him if he couldn't defend because we all know he'll never be good enough going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be a f***ing idiot to a play him if he couldn't defend because we all know he'll never be good enough going forward. Because Haidara is no better and been repeatedly injured and Lazaar is new to the country? I was expecting at the very least for Dummett to be solid and show signs of improving going forward since he should have more chances to, but the Dummett we see against Fulham and Rotherham is the exact same as we saw in the Premier League. There's no signs of him getting better, he's 25, and can't see him being anymore than this level. Compare to Enrique who dropped to this level, literally took the piss out of the league for a season, then came back into the Premier League a far better player, and it's disappointing.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Just play the best defender there, ie Dummett. If there's an issue with our attacking play it isn't because of the LB. Dummett makes one half-decent tackle a game. Other than that he spends a lot of time out of position, backing away from the opposition player, or being absolutely murdered by any winger with the slightest bit of pace. In addition to that he's petrified of touching the ball and will lose possession a frightening amount of times. If Haidara cant stay fit or Lazaar is rubbish/new/too sexy to play, we'd be better off playing Clark out of position at LB as he has shown that he is a much better defender. He was also very good away at Bristol City in that position. Your love-in for Dummett is bizarre, especially your need to insult anybody who has an opinion differing to yours. Maybe you need to take a step off of your high horse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think he gets murdered by pace you aren't watching the games. A typical response from you that cannot reply to it in it's entirely because your argument is built on nothing. I sit at matches watching wingers run rings around Dummett on a regular basis, we saw on Saturday that the lowest standard of team in this division can make Dummett look very average. Anyone who knocks the ball past him (or through him a lot of the time) will get past him, other than the very rare exception. If I played football regularly at this level, I'd probably make a good tackle every now and then. That means nothing, his awful performances vastly outweigh his okay to good ones. Dummett is not good enough to be playing in the short term, never mind the medium to long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I think Dummett is more than capable defensively and he offers us some presence when we are defending corners. He's shite going forward but if we drop him and start leaving gaps down our left don't be surprised. He's a good defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 To think that an, out-of-position Clark, unproven Lazaar or a totally unreliable Haidara are serious options at left back you want your head looked at. More chance of Anita or Yedlin playing left back than them three at this stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More chance of Anita or Yedlin playing left back than them three at this stage. Clark has filled in at LB this season already and looked assured. I'd be happier with him at LB than Dummett without question. Even Ian Dummett has made comments at SJP this season suggesting that his own son should be dropped Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magorific Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 It takes him a while to get going but when he gets to full pace he's pretty f***ing quick like Yes, he is quick in terms of straight-line foot speed. Shame that alone doesn't make a footballer, let alone a decent full-back. He is SO slow in his decision-making on the ball that it's agonising to watch. How many times does he end up delaying his distribution so long that his "passes" are charged down? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 He's quick in a straight line. Great. Go do 100m. He can't turn quickly to save his life, which makes it a disaster when he tries to get tight to his man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
