Collage Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Dummett is perfectly fine defensively, but in the modern game a full back has to be more than that. Other teams don't have anything to worry about with him playing on the left. He's genuinely awful on the ball and it makes our left side way less threatening. 100% this. He may be a good defender, but never a good left-back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Dummett is absolutely fine at LB, Premier League quality for certain. Not sure what the criticism of him is all about from some. Amazing how fast some people seem to forget the season gone by. He was one of our most consistent players, improving a great deal under Benitez. He's a good defender but modern LB should be able to control a football or pass to a teammate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to run 50 yards in under 10 seconds would help anarl! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 He's canny quick tbf. I just think he has one of those faces which make him look slower than he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenige Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 People slag off Dummett, but his crossing is sure as hell no worse than Yedlin's. Yedlin has a case of the Danny Simpson when he gets into the final third with the ball either hitting the first man or going to absolutely no-one, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 He's canny quick tbf. I just think he has one of those faces which make him look slower than he is. His body looks weirdly built too. Turns like a truck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Championship left back at best and indicative of how far standards have fallen when people are happy with him as the main lb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 1. When there full backs such as Danny Simpson, Charlie Daniels, Christian Fuchs etc in the Premier League, it's pretty obvious that Paul Dummett isn't a 'Championship left back at best' 2. Who's happy? I'm not happy with Shelvey playing for us in the grand scheme of things, but that doesn't mean I'd be bleating on about selling him when other areas need to be fixed first. Dummett's no different, he's a player you replace further down the line when you've got in a good striker, a number 10, strength in midfield etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn’t critisise Dummett because his crossing is as bad as Yedlin’s? Yedlin has his flaws but he’s fast and can control a football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Watching Chilwell tonight...that’s what an average/decent left-back should look like. He can defend but is comfortable going forward and technically sound. Dummett is not that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 The fact this bang average defender and awful football has made so many appearances for us just sums up the Ashley era for me. He's also not fucking Welsh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Sums up the Ashley era that this bang average plodder is our only lb like. Pathetic.

madras Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Wing back with no pace whatsoever He's not a wing back by inclination but it's not because of his lack of pace, probably one of the quickest at the club and rarely gets done for pace.

Tooj Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 He very much knows his own limitations and plays within those boundaries. So I'm not really sure how that means he's brainless like, Yedlin is a lot more culpable on that front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
