You can have negative opinions and critique players. But calling him a Championship level player and making out he cannot clear the ball just comes across as hyperbolic nonsense.I wasn’t talking about yesterday as an isolated event - but highlighted all his flaws (and good qualities) in general.
This is my perception of him, and I am curious to learn what others are seeing that I don’t - but am mostly drained in WTF ratings and short replies that I am totally wrong. I am fine with that - no prob.
I am not sure Dave was better than Toby yesterday, but maybe he was.
But in general i believe:
He cannot pass, Even short un-pressed passes are often misplaced.
He cannot clear the ball controlled with his feet or head.
He has trouble with following the line of the rest of the defence.
He is often unaware of players behind him.
He charges to much at times when standing patiently in the back would be enough.
Am I wrong in this perception?
like I said - he has immense Power and speed, sometimes correcting own wrongdoings... But is that enough?
I feel Tanganga is already a much better player
(I’m over the moon with recent results, but still think it’s fair to have negative opinions on certain issues)
