Guest alijmitchell Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I think MOTD highlighted the probs with Sterling and Liverpool last week - he's a winger that always tries to go on the inside rather than outside, and teams crowd that area. They highlighted that he plays best behind the striker. I didn't really see him try to do Dummett on the outside? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
basjen Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 He can defend comfortably, but can not dribble, cross or pass if it involves completing it in the opposition half. I think he has some decent crosses. Also, he's scored twice in less than 30 games, which is not bad for a left-back. Personally i prefer Haidara, but as people on here has been saying, he gets way more stick than he deserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Sterling's game has never been about attacking fullbacks the way Bale did. But i'll give Dummett his props. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I don't think he's a winger tbf. Not even sure he's a wide player but if he is - he's an inside forward like a Sanchez or Bale of the last few seasons. And even Bale still takes on fullbacks and puts in balls from wide on his right fairly often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Despite his limitations on the ball, he does carry some goal threat at set pieces and doesn't have a bad shot on him. Both he and Janmaat both seem to have at least one attempt on goal per match, which isn't something I'm used to seeing from NUFC's fullback pairings.

The College Dropout Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Despite his limitations on the ball, he does carry some goal threat at set pieces and doesn't have a bad shot on him. I hope that continues. One of the few lads that knows how to attack a ball in the air properly - whether with his feet or head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 This guy has been okay lately. He's a lot more tolerable, when playing a forward thinking player ahead of him, rather than Gouffran, which was rendering the left side completely worthless attacking wise.

M1tche Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Definitely not a full back!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieT Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Definitely not a full back!!! Pardew said a couple of weeks back that he felt Dummett's future was at CB. Has looked surprisingly comfortable there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Played mainly as a CB at youth/reserve level, did he not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1tche Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 He doesn't try and do anything other than defend, which he is pretty decent at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 :clap: Brilliant today like. Pardew doesn't half luck out the cunt. Coloccini on the right and Dummett on the left is by far my favorite CB pairing of our current lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Well as he's done, I hope this isn't going to be used as an excuse to buy a big CB, because we still lack one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 He was brilliant today. Didnt put a foot wrong defensively. They were out muscled by Anichebe a fair bit though, a better striker with those strengths could pose a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 At the risk of becoming a broken record, he has always looked very competent as a central defender and has a future there at a good level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
