Dwight played well today, always plays quite well. I think our fans are just disappointed at times because he has so much potential and technical ability, but doesn’t seem to be doing much in terms of improving.

IMO he plays more and more like a centre midfielder/attacking midfielder. He’s like a Man City player in that he really doesn’t want to give the ball away. Problem is that we then don’t have other players to keep the ball as well as he does, and we lose it when they try something. I think if Dwight took more risks (run at goal, shoot, through balls) he would be regarded higher by us fans and other clubs, despite losing the ball more. He doesn’t really even play wide left anymore, spends more time central. While he’s good at recycling possession there, we end up with nobody wide left to find in the space he’s deserted.

We want to see more of the great goals he can score, assists (crosses are great but doesn’t do them often anymore), the through ball to cornet vs city).

How far high/wide was his shot at the end?

Difficult to judge distances from the moon & can’t find a replay?

Difficult for any of our wide players to do anything with the shower of shite we call Centre midfield.
Zzzzzzzzz

When is the statute of limitations over on this. You made your point in 2019 but if you can’t come up with literally anything different for 2 1/2 years best to shut up and stop boring us.

No offense but you’re literally mind numbing
