Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Really don't get the Paul Dummet hate train like Not sure it's hate, I think it's just people being well aware that he isn't a good footballer at all. It says a lot that we've played a CB in his position and he's comfortably been better than Dummett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Aye that was a scandalous decision. Bent as fuck, as per. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Really don't get the Paul Dummet hate train like Probably because of the insistence from some on here that 'he might be rubbish on the ball, but he can defend', as if he's anything more than average at defending at best or it undoes just how shocking he is on the ball. It's probably more a reaction to that than anything, but in all honesty I've always thought he's terrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 He's another like Colback and Taylor, that will ultimately fall down the Pyramid very quickly when we finally cut ties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Possibly better at FB than CB. Don't rate him that much at CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Day Gadgie Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Really don't get the Paul Dummet hate train like I like Dummett, but I simply don't rate him at all. On this level a player has to be able to play and handle a football, no matter what position. We look so much more balanced being able to start our attacks from the left as well, and not just from the right through Yedlin/whoever. Said it a hundred times before that having someone like Dummett makes us so easy to read for the opposition during our build up play. The opposition know from an early stage that if they press us correctly the ball will end up on our right 9/10 and then they can move the the team and press hard on that side which in return also makes it hard for us to find space on the right hand side. Much better balance now as we can use both flanks more effectively, and I'm not surprised that Atsu looks more involved now. Also, I think Yedlin will look even better this season than the last because it's going to be less crowded on the right hand side as we will and can use the left side of the pitch much better without Dummett, and also switch play more effectively. Dummett's lack of ability forced him to play it sideways or back to a CB nine times out of ten and that gives the opposition so much extra time to get organized and limit our options after having to start over from the back.

mrmojorisin75 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Yeah hopefully the Chancellor can keep progressing injury free and force Rafa to make him first choice. We look so much better with a player not terrified of a football in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I quite like Dummett but ultimately if we can put a left back on the pitch who not only defends but offers something going the other way then Dummett shouldn't be getting back in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Overall better than Dummett BUT still a position we should be looking to buy someone in January or next summer. Since he should be first choice for now I think he should spend more time practising throw ins, some poor ones BUT aside from that he did well.

STM Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 He's so versatile aswell. Can quite comfortably play right across the back four and he's a threat from set pieces. Must be a nightmare having to watch Lascelles, Clark and Mbemba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I honestly think Dummett is a better CB than LB, when he played there he was quite decent, really don't like to see him at LB and Both Mbemba and Even Gamez showed they have more to offer.

Zero Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Dummett is a decent backup for both positions, nothing more than that. No problem with him to start if we have injury crisis but we should have someone else to start. Luckily Mbemba seems to enjoy this new role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Says a lot when two CB's are better full backs than Dummett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If he continues to look as solid as he has the last 3 matches, and he stays fit, I don't see how he isn't the first choice going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Was it Mbemba who pinged a ball for one of Joselu's chances? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Was it Mbemba who pinged a ball for one of Joselu's chances? Yeah I believe it was, one of the first half chances. It's one of the positives to having a right footed player at left back, he can turn in field and comfortably look to the play the ball forward, just as Ritchie does so effectively on the right.

TRon Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Is Mbemba left footed? He seems to be quite comfortable playing the ball out at left back, just wondering if that's because it's his natural side. EDIT: Just read in the above post he's actually right footed. Makes it even more remarkable that he looks more comfortable there than Dummett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 He's predominately right footed, but with him being a ball playing defender he seems competent enough using either. If he can develop his left foot further I think we have our left back sorted for the season - who would have thought it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Dummett will still be Rafa's first choice like, I'm sure Read something a few months ago about how important it is to him to have left footed players on the left side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If he keeps this up there is no way Dummett walks straight back in, left footed or not! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
