Gallowgate End Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Crocked for Wales tonight. Hope no Manquillo... I hope Rafa plays the 3-5-2 that we ended the last match in if Dummett isn’t back rather than putting Manquillo in at LB. :'( Means we would get to keep Schar, Fernandez and Ki in the side while fitting Shelvey and Lascelles back in too. I think we will need Lascelles back in against Burnley regardless to deal with Wood and the long balls they chuck in. Watching Ki and Shelvey in a 3 having more licence to get forward would be interesting to see too. Certainly think 3-5-2 is a good plan B for us thought it played quite a big part in us seeing the Bournemouth match out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Dummett is an ugly footballer. Looks to have a relatively poor touch and passing range, uncomfortable dribbler. So obviously he has detractors. Despite all of these flaws, I think he's been our best fullback since Debuchy. Manquillo's a pretty good footballer and much better technically than Dummett but he just can't defend well. Santon was a classy footballer, you would think he would do an ok job at central midfield technically. But the lad was just culpable for so many goals conceded, likewise Janmaat. You can't have a possession, highly technical based game with a Paul Dummett but we haven't been that for a very long time. And we have bigger problems with the squad.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 He’s been better in recent seasons but I still think he’s an example of what’s wrong with us. He should’ve been upgraded years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 We really need to sign a quality left back if we want to progress as a club I don't mind him like, can be decent cover for left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsprillasShinPad Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 He’s been better in recent seasons but I still think he’s an example of what’s wrong with us. He should’ve been upgraded years ago. If we ever want to see consistent top 10 finishes, we'd need to upgrade, but at this point in time there are much higher priority positions to upgrade. As it stands, we only have one PL quality striker, no acceptable 10 and poor/inconsistent wingers. We also haven't got a DM or an AM either, with Shelvey being used in a really ungainly deep playmaker role with no outlet. If I were allowed to spend, my team before I replaced Dummett would be: ------------------Rondon---------------------- ------------------------------------------------ New LW----------New 10/AM--------New RW ------------------------------------------------ -------------------Shelvey-------------------- Dummett-------------------------------Yedlin -----------Schar-Lascelles-Fernandez------- ------------------------------------------------ -------------------Dubs----------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I have a feeling that should we suddenly get megabucks and win the Champions League it would still be with Dummett left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I have a feeling that should we suddenly get megabucks and win the Champions League it would still be with Dummett left back.

Benwell Lad Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 The old Dummett "is he too limited or a decent steady away left back" discussion. Whatever the answer we always look like a much better defensive unit when he plays rather than any of the current alternatives. We really miss him when he's out.

Guest Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I like the idea of Schar, Fernandez & Lascelles with Kenedy & Yedlon wing-backs and Ki and Shelvey together. Would make us a fuck load less predictable to play against if we have two passers as well as danger down both flanks. Even Ritchie as a right wing-back ahead of Yedlin could be interesting.

Kanj Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Play Schar at LB or Clark. I'd rather a CB play there and just basically offer as little as Dummett does going forward or less than have Manquillo play there or moving Kenedy back there when he needs to be our X factor in attack.

This comment just sums up how much of a shit state of affairs the club is in when this hopeless cunt is sorely missed He's not hopeless - far from it. He's just not glamorous enough for some. The real point is that his presence has an almost catalytic effect on the defence as a whole in terms of overall cohesion, way above his individual merit.
