He's an excellent last-ditch tackler, IMO. Despite the fact it was his own fault he was in that position. He's absolutely woeful, I've defended him a few times but he's genuinely s***. He has his faults, no doubt. That catapult thing he does, where he has to wind up to swing a foot and pass the ball, drives me nuts. He's poor as a full back, no doubt. Offers nothing going forward. But he's an excellent tackler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Very good last two games, needs replacing if/when we go up mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Thing about Dummett, his weaknesses wouldn't, in theory, be exacerbated by a move up to the PL. There'll be less of an onus on him to go forward with it and he seems to be similarly effective defensively. I do agree we need a better starting LB long term, though. Hopefully in the summer.

He's not there to be a playmaker but, he's reasonable quick, strong in th air if playing full back and his crossing is reasonable good. Some of his recovery work is very good.

Lush Vlad Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Apart from the fact he usually takes an age and about 4-5 attempts to control it. Which usually means his cross is blocked or he has to check back. His crossing is alright. Gouffran and Dummett together is just ghastly, though. Both are just so slow to react and take forever to do anything. Usually just ends up in a backwards/sideways pass or their flank just gets ignored when we start an attack. He is a solid enough player. I bet he is woeful at 3 touch 5 a side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 He can do the basics of defending, that's definitely not one of his obvious weaknesses this season, it's the step back he takes before he kicks the ball that means he's fucked next season if we go up.

The College Dropout Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Says a lot about the lad that he's probably the only player from the PL Rafa has always had as first choice. I think a new LB will be relatively low in the priority. CB, LM, CM, AM, Striker all before imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more due to the fact that our only other LB options are Haidara (who is selotaped together) and Lazaar (who Rafa prefers as a winger) than anything else.

The Full-back position these days requires a dynamic athlete to play on his toes. Dummett is a decent defender but he's anything but dynamic. I can see him become our 3rd choice CB in the next couple of years. Will not sustain a career at LB for much longer IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
