Too slow, too weak, too one footed. On the other hand, decent touch, decent striker of the ball, works hard. Not the worst, but, by no means top half of prem standard.
Agreed Roy, and there’s no shame in being a mid table player / squad player for a top 6 team.Too slow, too weak, too one footed. On the other hand, decent touch, decent striker of the ball, works hard. Not the worst, but, by no means top half of prem standard.
Absolute diamond of a bloke, just spent a few hours at the event in Alder Hey with my lads - he took the time to sit on the floor playing trucks with my youngest, genuinely down to earth decent lad.
He played 10 v Southampton in one of their only victories , and the 4-0 defeat at Utd and v 10 men Brentford at home, that we couldn’t break down. Saying he played his best football as a 10 is hyperbole mate.He played his best footy at the 10 while he was here but only played there for 10-13 games under Dyche. He is pretty much the boo boy like Keane and people are finding reasons to hate him. He is not nearly as bad as most make out and the majority of it is hyperbole. They hate him because of where he came from (Burnley).
Do I think Charly (and hopefully Harrison) will be better options? Yes. I think his lack of pace would hurt us on the counter. I think he has better vision than everyone apart from Jack and is a playmaker with a hell of a left foot. Physically he is just not on the level we need as the game is all about athleticism and endurance these days.
I actually asked him was he preferring playing in the ten and his response was “all day”.He played his best footy at the 10 while he was here but only played there for 10-13 games under Dyche.

Yeah, but, as you well know Eggs, his ability with his left foot is a million miles away from Sheedy's

The progression of the squad in terms of quality has simply left Dwight behind. Likeable lad and clearly very capable but unfortunately not (currently) at the standard of others in his position at the Club. It's natural evolution in broad daylight.
