Wulf, perhaps it's not only me who can see the truth about Dawson now?

I agreed with you last week, but I have been nervous watching him since he cost us the first arse game. He is just not fast enough, which players can make up for if they read the game better than everyone else, but he does not. I wish we had of cashed in on him last year when QPR were after him. Now no chance of a sale as everyone can see he is over the hill.

What truth? The imagery you make up in your own mind to satisfy your predetermined hatred projected onto a player to rationalise your frustration? Pull the other one mate.

There were 2 people at fault for that goal and Dawson was neither one of them. Let me educate you:

1. Bentaleb lost the ball when he had a simple option. That put Rose out of position and unable to recover so Bentaleb should have covered the LB position. Instead he went charging into no man's land.

2. Vert did not drop back. When an opposition midfielder has the ball and is under no pressure then the defensive line MUST drop back if there are strike runners. With no pressure on the ball it is way too easy to beat an offside trap so the defence has to cover the space behind them. Dawson saw this and dropped back, Vert was ball watching and did not cover Snodgrass who was running right at him.


This is simple stuff Davo. You really should know this.

Wulf, didn't blame Dawson for the goal! But overall as usual he was made to look very slow and an average player!
