TRon Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 He needs to add goals to be worth his spot, he works hard and can put in a decent cross, but his lack of pace restricts his threat out wide. If he was banging a few in regularly you could overlook it. With Atsu and Murphy the only people banging on the door I don't think he has to many worries. I should have added long term to that tbf, he's obviously worth his spot right now, but he does need to be contributing more goals. I know Murphy is a let down whenever he plays, but there is a player in there potentially. Perhaps he might grow into one. Or alternatively grow a pair and start having a go.

toon25 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Whatever formation that removes the need to play Dummett is good for me, like. Was impressed that we looked like a footballing side on Monday and had players that were not shit scared of the ball. Ritchie is an intelligent player, and it that regard I think he’s a better fit for LWB role in a defensive 5 given the other options we have. Think we’d be far better off with a decent number 10 in that system too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might as well forget about wing play anyway because our wingers are awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At defending Dummett is ok but the modern day full back (especially in the premier league) requires far more going forward and unfortunately he is badly lacking in this area.

Which is great, but we haven't got any modern day full backs in the squad. We also haven't any AMs or a 10 who are PL standard, wingers who can beat a man and we only have one striker of PL standard. It would be a mistake to spend transfer funds on a LB when we are totally inadequate in at least 4 positions. At least Dummett does the basics of his position, which is more than can be said of others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say left back is a very key role mind especially in modern football - I agree we do need all those positions filled still doesn't take away the fact that Dummett should be replaced as soon as possible also.

xLiaaamx Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 He's got a good cross on him but so do all wingers. His ratio of good crosses to bad crosses has just got worse and worse. He's probably the first position I'd be looking to replace in the starting 11 to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Didn’t agree with him coming straight back in the side. But Rafa obviously trusts him and likes his graft. He’s just one of many ‘nothing’ players that we have. If we stay up, it will be through hard work, grinding games out and probably relying on teams being worse than us. Such a lack of quality all round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 That's mint if Ritchie said that, like. Fair enough when it's coming from a player like Ritchie imo, you could never accuse him of being thin-skinned, being intimidated, or hiding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky picked it up and apologised for the language. Bloke behind me in that stand was blasting Perez after he was elbowed. 'Get up you fucking cunt, there's nowt wrong with you Perez, man'. These are the same people who shouted at my dad whilst we were doing the 11 minute walk in 'that's done a lot, they're 1-0 up now'. Some of them are so fucking thick. Have to restrain myself from bursting into a swearing tirade against them in front of everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
