Ronaldo Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Dummett's a defender who can generally defend. Haidara will become a player in time but I have doubts it'll be at LB. Can't see him ever being better than Santon, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Are people here actually claiming Santon is a good defender or am I misunderstanding?

TRon Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hej is simply a lot better than Dummett and Haidara. Is he? At least Haidara will put in some good crosses from out wide. I'm not sure he's much worse than Santon defensively either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Dummett's a better defender than Davide. Davide is useless in the final third but he carries the ball very well and gets us up the pitch. The Dummett floater down the byline to the opposition is painful to watch. I'm Santon's biggest critic. But he's a PL footballer at the very least. Not certain about the other lads if they'll even have Premiership careers. Neither are much younger than Santon.

Teasy Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Better?, maybe, but I don't think Santons a good enough defender to be a lot better at it than anyone to be honest. The amount of times he'd go missing or put in one of his famous none tackles (tentatively stick his foot in a bit and have the ball nicked past him) had me tearing my hair out when he was a regular starter.

arnonel Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 But Dummet trains well, and puts in a shift. Does attacking down the flanks and putting in a good cross really help us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gino14 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Anyone see that shot conversion stat on Sky? We have the worst in the league with 7%. Hull are the next worst with 12%. That speaks volumes for the management of the team. When you watch us shoot, it's like the players don't see what the goal until the weekend. Any sane person would have our attackers doing nothing but shooting training for a week. It's just horrendous how neglected the attacking side of our play is. It's part of what builds pressure on our weak defence. We don't keep the ball or attack well in any area past the half way line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 If I was a manager playing against a team that trains defending 4 days of the week, id make sure that we do attacking training 4 days that week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 You can hopefully teach Haidara to defend and be better positionally, but not sure how much you can teach Dummett, aside from playing to his strengths. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dontooner Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 All of our left backs are quite horrible at defending. Dummett= Pardew = Shola Haidara packs a good cross but needs serious experience for defending. Santon at his worse loses us a single by himself game. However his overall passing and movement makes us a better footballing team. Rather having Santon in the team. Makes the team less direct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
