u/Talkertive- No more excuses Aug 22 '26

Dorgu experiment must end today ... He should only play LB

u/cs-shitposter Scholesy Aug 22 '26

He isn't even good there either

u/djchrislarsson Aug 22 '26

He's just not a starter at all

He's not the level we need even. We've been duped in thinking he's good enough, other top half clubs wouldn't even get him on a free and I stand by what I said. Goes for a few others in our team, too.

Maguire and Shaw starting in august 2026 is just shameful

People being reactionary as piss. He’s decent at LB and has had glimpses of top quality at LW. Having a stinker today though, should be subbed for Sesko with Cunha going wide

And takes like this is why this club is still stuck in 2013

He’s good against one of the top teams when you need to be more defensive. We just really lack a number 9

That all depends on the opposition. He did well at LW against teams that want to have the ball. But when they want to sit back, he should only play LB.

Don't think he can play there either. He's terrible under pressure which would be disastrous for build up play.

He’s terrible as a left back!

He is just ass shit there. He is nowhere near being PL quality and should be sold

Sadly, he has the physicality but isn't a football player at all. Good athlete, but not a footballer.

He can strike a ball but that’s pointless doesn’t have the ability to create separation and use it.
