But you are not comparing like for like. How many good defenders have we really faced this season?Colburn_Claret wrote: ↑Wed Jan 04, 2023 8:34 pmI feel sorry for Dwight, there is a good player in there, but Benson and Zaroury's ability to go inside or out, their pace, their ability to score goals, regular, there's no way Dwight would get in this team.
Rovers are 3rd and their defence looked all over the place.

He’s been consistently exposed this season and has looked poor. Yesterday was up there as one of the worst CB performances you will see in the prem this season.

Just admit you've gone in full blooded with a completed plucked out of thin air opinion based on nothing so we can all move on and save ourselves a tedious exchange.

Forgive me, I was just trying my hand at some Newcastleclaret-style emotional hyperbole.

Re: Dwight
You have to be on the wind up surely, McNeil wouldn’t of thrived at all in this team, way to slow on the ball, the moments benson has created McNeil wouldn’t be able to create, the goal zaroury scored against rovers with his weak left foot, McNeil wouldn’t score with his strong left foot

Re: Dwight
We played a couple of games where Dwight had TAA on toast, but it doesn't deflect from the fact he has limited strings to his bow. I'm not trying to knock him, but today if I had to pick 2 of the 3 to start, Dwight would be on the bench.

Re: Dwight
He, like Keane is a very good player who's become the subject of an underperforming team with bad management.
I don't understand how we can already say the players that we have now will be better when they are completely untested in the Premier League, there's a good chance that like Everton and McNeil, they and us will also struggle if we get promoted.
In my opinion he is best used as a central player than a winger, which was mainly where he played in youth. His move to the wing comes from his ability to cross well and to track back, but you need pace to play on the wing well in the Premier League. In a system that can support a Mezzala with him playing centrally but drifting out wide, I think he'd do well.
I also agree with others that state he became a victim of Dyche's tactics. Instead of improving his natural game he was forced to defend more and fit into a specific system. The same kind of thing happened with Boyd when he signed for us (and Hull) after being a number 10 thriving at Peterborough.

Re: Dwight
The poor geordie never fails to amuse.
He did though tell anyone who listened we will struggle this season and stand a much better chance of going down than up based on his knowledge on the division. Now he claims he had no idea the division was this bad.
It is like he has to take a contrary stance to things on here just to get by. Could probably benefit from long slow deep breaths into a paper bag at times.

He used to do the players ratings which went along the lines of Brownhill 4 - never be a footballer
Then when questioned he would come out with pass completion of 71.3548% then the number of forward passes and misplaced passes. Normally within minutes of fulltime I have never met anyone who goes to games and would even know the basic stats accurately.
Re: Dwight
I thought it was Martin Keown who said he was the best English defender at the time. He and Coady held Everton together early in the season and probably at the Etihad last week.Big Vinny K wrote: ↑Wed Jan 04, 2023 9:41 pmI am pretty sure I saw a MoTD where Danny Murphy described him as the best English defender at that time and Lineker agreed.

Martin Keown I think was the other pundit and he was the only one who did not think Tarks was the best English defender.

That’s great to hear. Nice that he is still welcome here in Burnley after some of the comments people have made over the last few years. Also nice that he feels comfortable to mix with the Burnley fans and enjoy the match. I’m not a big fan of Everton but like to see him and Tarks doing ok.
