Paul Dummett

Jordi Alba's good too. An absolute prick who I always feel will win any dual he's placed in.

Jordi Alba is so good because he works so well with Messi

Dummett is a leftsided cb in a 3-cb-system for me.

 

Dummett    Fernandez  Lejeune

 

That would be our 3 cb:s in that system imo.

 

Five CBs that range from great to decent in the club, first time probably ever. Let’s move Paully D there and start him.

Dummett gets an awful lot of stick. I think he’s great for what he came from. We hardly put anything into our academy so one of the only success stories to speak of.

 

He’ll never be an attacking player so no point getting wound up about it.

 

If Rafa keeps playing 3 CB’s then he’s not gonna he as useful so a LWB will definitely be needed.

I don’t hear or see much stick for him mate, far from it.

Quality today.

 

That shade

We haven't really had much of a choice but to play him.

It must be absolutely shit being told that by anyone other than the manager who thought the same thing about Javier Mascherano, played Tevez left wing, and had Ryan Taylor starting ahead of Ben Arfa. I'd imagine being told that by a competent manager with a modicum of respect would be damaging for a young player.

Pardew 

If he plays another 100 Premier League games for us then it’s going to be another bleak 3-4 years supporting Newcastle.

Where does it say that Pardew told him that?

 

If it was Pardew it shows how little influence he had over transfers or anything. As Dummett was first choice by the time he left iirc.

 

What a spineless prick.

It doesn't say it there, but Dummett's mentioned it in an interview previously and that's what he was referring to with the opening line.

Yeah mentions it here

Ok thanks for the link.

 

“When I got told I wasn’t good enough, I just said it was up to me to prove him wrong. As soon as I said that, he knew I had the right attitude because he said: ‘That’s the attitude I want to see from my players’.

 

I don't have the words for this.

He's just a bottomless well of dick head anecdotes. He's uncle knob head.

How anybody in a position of leadership could see that as a motivational tool, is beyond me

Calling Dummett a solid full-back would be like calling Chopra a solid striker.

 

Just because he was a good finisher didn’t make him a Premier League striker, same way just because Dummett can block a cross or whatever doesn’t make him a Premier League left-back.

Aye football has its own quirks. Similar worked for Mourinho for a long time.  But it’s just.... absolutely awful. 

Really don't get the hate directed at Dummett. He's a decent player surrounded by 3-4 slightly better players and a lot of utter dross.

 

There are some much more justifiable targets in the squad for vitriol from the fans at this time.

Didn’t realise he was 27. Christ 

 

He’s fortunate that we’re owned by a cunt that couldn’t give a fuck. Have no particular hatred for the guy, but any side with a modicum of ambition would have him where he should be - warming the bench and ready step in for a game or two in the event of an injury.

Let’s be honest, most of us thought he was shit for a long time.  He’s turned out to be a reliable (but limited) player.  This isn’t anywhere near the biggest stick you could hit Pardew with.

We thought it/think it, but I doubt many would tell him to his face or tell him if they were his manager.

I thought blaming 17 year old Armstrong on his first full start at old trafford was pretty shit

Outside, man. I'll meet you outside so that we can settle that argument like men.

Wish someone could present stats with Dummett in the team against when he's absent over the last few seasons.

I've got a feeling it would show him to be a pretty decent team defender.
