SiJ Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 There was that clip doing the rounds earlier today. Poor backpass from Palmer and then Iorfa gets it and has zero awareness. Gets robbed of the ball and they nearly score. It's just basic mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirstys_achilles Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I think we have bigger problems than a player at 50 % who is still better than most of the other players. 3 games in a week after a serious injury has to take its toll on his body. DM supposedly has got enough players to rotate them. Which for me means that his selections are even more baffling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 It wasn't that long ago he was better than Eric Dier and should have his England spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he’s been here he’s pretty much been the same. Positionally poor, clumsy and switches off. He sometimes makes up for that with his pace and last ditch recoveries. He isn’t my type of defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the only one judging by today’s performance. 'Hey Dom, I think you've looked a little shaky in the last couple of games so I want to put you at ease today, you'll be playing CB in a back 3 alongside Palmer and Marvin Johnson.'

Defender looks good playing against a crap team in relegation zone and one of the lowest scoring teams in the division. Hardly a glowing endorsement.

nile Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 If you play to win 1.0 every week, then it doesn’t come off individual mistakes and performances get scrutinised. don’t blame the player, blame the system and thought process of his manager. the defence is under constant unneeded pressure from our set up, all the players to relieve that pressure are sat twiddling there fingers on the bench. best form of defence is attack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls2k Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I think people have some weird idea that he used to be Paolo Maldini. He was always a hapless player whose physical attributes and commitment got him and us out of trouble. All in all a good, non ball playing defender. All that's changed is the people around him and the manager managing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too dissimilar to the bloke managing him...which makes it all the more hilarious that we've got him trying to play it out from the back.

Hutch is the only one capable of it, he's a proper footballer. The rest have no chance. Completely the wrong tactic with these players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A different CB partner every week. Asking him to play out from his own 6 yard box. The best defences always have a settled partnership no matter what league your in. Absolutely. Like many people say, football isn’t a complicated game, yet people like DM try to make it harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scilly owl Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I’m not going to start questioning Big Dom…he is the sort of wholehearted player that we need within the current “ system “. I do take your point though but I think that we should consider that he might be demoralised. It must be soul destroying playing for a manager who simply doesn’t have a clue and then have to sit in a room and listen to him vainly trying to justify his baffling inadequacies. Christ, I’m depressed after listening to DM’s post match tosh….I make sure that I don’t operate heavy machinery for at least six hours after suffering one of his interviews… imagine having to listen to that for six days a week, month after month, good god .
