Disco Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Nut v Dummett is Wullie v Duff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Dummett's about 8/10 without the ball and about 2/10 with the ball.  In this age where everyone's a good footballer regardless of position it's not really good enough to get away with.

Minhosa Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 In fairness to PD, I think he's one of those players that managers like for his general reliability. Though he won't pull up any trees, he'll not massively let you down very often. He's a bit of an Aaron Hughes for me.  I don't mind him in a back three and think he's the kind of guy that SBR would've played every week tbh. Same with Rafa who seemed quite happy to give him a regular role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Its not a great pass by Dummett in that even if it reached its target Willems would have had to either pass it back to him or the keeper, but Willems' effort is comical Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Rafa who seemed quite happy to give him a regular role.  SBR would have had a far more attacking midfield and forward line so he could afford to have a purely defensive full back. Rafa would have been looking to upgrade him I am pretty sure. Despite surviving a couple of seasons in the Premier, our football wasn't great down the flanks, to progress we would have needed full backs who could bring the ball out. Like with Schar and Lejeune, I reckon bringing in better full backs was on his list of improvements this season.

xLiaaamx Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 He's "solid" but he's got two very clear weaknesses. He can't play football with the ball, and he cant change direction quickly. Ritchie has the same second weakness. Not a huge fan of them together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inevitably that often ended up being at the back. I can remember the complaint often being that we would be better off without the Hollywood signings and spreading the cost around the squad to give us better quality all round.

The College Dropout Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Tbf we are still spending the 8m, 6m, 11m on defenders now as we did with Wooodgate, Boumsong and Bramble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
