2025/26 Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

[Vedder]

Much prefer him in the cm, his workrate off the ball is phenomenal. Definitely a box to box player.

 

[BlueBarrow]

Simply a brilliant buy.
Real quality footballer , but also flexible where he can play.
Even better he seems to have a great attitude , and work rate , and really seems to have bought into the club and the fanbase.

One thing I like about him that has irked me about some of our players is he plays the ball and quickly moves into space. You seen it for the first goal today. It's such a simple thing to do but in recent years players have just stood round like statues.

 

[Mr Mig]

Seriously dont get what Chelsea did not see in him…..he is just on a different level, that goal today, just total class

 

[BlueBarrow]

Absolutely, I remember at the time people were questioning this lad. He is everything we have been missing for years in the middle.

Absolutely spot on mate

If I was Moyes, I would be looking to bring in a 10 or an attacker that can play across the front 3 and only use this guy there occasionally. He offers just as much if not more deeper on the field and can always be an option at the 10 when we are trying to close out games or get after a very weak defense. Let this guy be our Essien/Modric/Xabi/etc.

Was and always will be a ball playing CM. "He can do a decent enough job behind the striker" is limiting his skillset to mostly running.

Some absolute stonking posts on page 3 of his thread.

Football has a habit of making people look very foolish.

Not really, I said a few weeks ago I don't know what he brings to the team because as a 10 it's not much, but playing in his proper position? Fantastic

 

[Swartzy]

Get over yourself. He played very well as a 10 too and will probably be back there soon.

KDH at 10 is about 60% of the player you have at your hands.

That doesn't mean he isnt good in that position, it means your never going to see the best of him..

So players shouldn't be playing out of position to get the best out of them? Revelations (for David Moyes for some reason FFS)

But he wasn't playing in the middle

 

[Swartzy]

Just looks so right in that shirt.

I might have to revisit that later, just for a bit of fun vaulting some posters.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

He is pretty dang good with both feet no?

Sometimes players need to play out of position for the good of the team. NDiaye is much better on the left than the right but both him and Grealish need to be in the team. Moyes thought the trio of KDH in front of Garner and Gana was the best use of his resources.
