Paul Dummett


Recommended Posts

Nowhere near good enough. Never has been, probably never will be. Occasionally he looks okay defending, which is a minimum you'd expect from a defender, but he has never been anything other than turgid on the ball and going forward. Fuck knows how he has made 50+ apps like.

Surely Rafa will notice that performance.

 

Mbabu was levels above in his couple of appearances, i wish he'd notice him.

 

He'll notice it, but he's not got much of an alternative at the moment other than Mbabu who looked good in the only game he's started, but then Dummett has looked decent in the last couple of games. Obviously he's always going to be a liability on the ball, but he has defended okay prior to today.

Wasn't noticeably bad other than letting Sturridge go for the 1st goal. Milner didn't get much out of him.

 

Milner's not exactly a dangerous wing player tbf. Smart player, good on the ball, but he's not threatening anyone physically.

34% pass success rate vs Liverpool.

 

Not even keepers are generally that bad. :lol:

 

Honestly, I actually sat up in shock second half when he played a pass forward along the ground. Don't think I have ever done that. :lol:

He'll not be a starter next season if we manage to stay up, he's simply not good enough.  I'd still start him for the last 3 games if he's fit to play because it's too risky not to.  We'll just have to put up with him and not expect too much.

Hes alright defensively but his play on the ball yesterday was shocking. Hoofball.

 

I don't think he's even alright defensively as he's way too slow and is constantly out of position.  He's still the best that we've got in that position, if only because of our situation and the number of games that he's played meaning he's less likely to cave in under pressure.

He was poor yesterday.

 

You cant say Milner got nowt out of him, as he put in a cross leading to the offside goal. There was Lallanas smash across the face from there & a cut back into the area. They constantly doubled up on Dummett, which says a lot given the opposite fullback isnt even a defender by trade. On the ball he kept giving it back to them or out for a throw in at one point. He was better the couple games before though, so perhaps tiredness.

Would love a proper left back who's got some pace. I don't even care if he's half decent at attacking but one who's a sound defensive player and has great recovery pace.
