Yet Wolves regressed since he left from the starting team. I think Leander got the last laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordy Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I do enjoy the "he doesnt suit our style of play" thing thrown out there, the same style that brought you sych memorable results as Newcastle, Liverpool, Warsaw and Everton lol. Same style all the time. Serious though Dendonker is off the pace a bit yes probably injury related (hopefully). But he should not be played as a pivot, he is the guy you bring on when up 1 or 2 holding a lead and say, smash anything running at the back 4. Luiz cant do it without getting booked, Kamara gets overrun a bit and Tielemans well is Tielemans. Man needs minutes to build match time then deployed as a midfield enforcer as needed. Sit behind the two CM and break up play then hand it off. We cant have all our midfielders sitting there as double pivots because its a thing or in games with high press or quick counter as seen we get smashed and are 1 dimensional and predictable.

AshVilla Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 We'd be harder to play against with 10 players on the pitch than with him starting. He offers absolutely nothing other than a complete waste of wages. Awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Can’t play in this system. Round peg in a square hole. Will go on loan to a PL team who are fighting for survival in January. Edited October 5, 2023 by KevinRichardsonsMoustache 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I think it’s just that we needed to move the ball quickly in midfield to try to open Zrinjski up, yet every time the ball came to Dendonker he turned back and passed backwards. We didn’t necessarily need DM solidity today, we needed more creativity and bravery on the ball. That’s not really his game though, and he didn’t do much wrong.

Exactly this, very negative from him, kept passing back, hardly looked forward.

Ironically he works against good teams because he wins the ball, takes up good positions defensively and rarely gives away possession. Against better teams he's not dynamic enough unfortunately.

AndyM3000 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 He's most useful when we are defending but his game time comes in games we are expected to win comfortably and have a lot of the ball. Not ideal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
