Mole_Toonfan Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Has anyone seen Mbemba play much by the way? Nope, there's a 6 second gif on twitter of him looking fast as fuck though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Dummett isn't that great in the air, although I think he's improving, but unique among our CBs, he can react quickly to danger, and intercept or block because he has that basic speed off the mark. "React quickly", "That basic speed off the Mark" ;D He's slow as F**k, that's one of his main downfalls. That was why I said earlier he'll never make a good fullback, because of his speed.

He's slow for a full back I agree but isn't that slow for a centre half Exactly. He's one of those defenders like Jose Enrique who falls into an in-between category - his size makes it difficult for him to turn quickly enough to be a great full back, but he's a bit small to be a good CB. It's a bit of a problem because I think smaller full backs can get targeted in the air at the far post. Dummett brings something to us as a CB that Mbemba I think can also provide, only better. The sort of situation I can think of is when there a cross to the near post, and the centre back has to win the race with the opposition striker to get there. Dummett is the one of our 4 CBs who is most likely to win it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Enrique was really quick. If i was the manager i would be on the phone to Liverpool looking at bringing Enrique back, especially if he is available on a free or minimal cost. We need a left back and he would massively improve the team both defensively and attacking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatwax Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I have no idea what he'd be like now, but he was brilliant while he was here and he seemed to have a genuine love for the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Enrique was really quick. Enrique was in a different league, I don't know why anybody would make the comparison. Dummett's best asset is his tackling and heading. Good enough for a full back but he offers nothing going forward, and as a centre back he's probably not quite big enough to go up against the Andy Carrolls in the game.

Ash Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Enrique was really quick.

We need a left back and he would massively improve the team both defensively and attacking. 12 PL games in the last two seasons. Should be aiming a lot higher if we're going for a left-back, as good as he was for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Not sure I believe any player "loves" a club anymore. Enrique had a temporary fondness for us. I despised him when he left but he was brilliant for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I despised him when he left but he was brilliant for us. I'd say it went deeper than that personally, but I obviously don't have any proof. I remember his rant about the club's lack of ambition and feeling that he felt our frustrations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Genuinely can't believe what has become of Jose Enrique at Liverpool. That guy is a class player. Rodgers must be nuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'm sure Jose has had loads of problems with injuries mind? If not, I find it mental that Todgers wouldn't give him a chance considering he played Glen Johnson on the other side for so long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Has anyone even tried to sign him since he fell out of favour? How as everyone forgotten how brilliant he was with us? 29 yrs old this year, so still has some years left. Deserves to be playing every week somewhere man. It's crazy.

Leazes1986 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Absolutely loved watching Enrique, Coloccini and Jonas take the piss on the left in the Championship. Was beautiful and hilarious to watch the little connection they had going on. When we came back up it continued. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Enrique's form before he left, my goodness. You could not beat him for pace, you could not beat him for strength, and he had a brilliant cross on him. Would love to have him back. Jetro for me though, like.

I genuinely don't think he has ever played LB in his life. Certainly not the last few seasons. Alan Pardew is that you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
