#3 | Rúben Dias - 2020/21 Performances

[lmhblue1]

Not really what he was asked if you watch the video but still a great quote lol

 

[Dax777]

I think Mr Whippy just shades him but he is remarkable. This is where good scouting and drilling down into a player's personality can be so valuable.

Was watching an ESPN FC show and they all voted him player of the year. So did Caragher and Whatsisname?

Which made me think, hmmmm, he might just win it. I think Mr Whippy was most valuable at the most critical point of our season. But Dias might have been the most consistent across all periods. And coming on the heels of Van Dyke winning it, it won't surprise me if they give it to who the pundits now consider the New Van Dyke.

Gundo was very good for us this season.

But Dias single-handedly turned our leaky defense into a brick wall. I credit much of Stone's revival due to the solidity and leadership of Dias.

Dias' form has trailed off a bit towards the end of the season - but for me, he's the PoTY in our side and indeed in the league.

 

[BlueDejong]

Best in the world

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

If only we'd have signed a proper centre half like Maguire instead of this joker : /

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Played like his life depended on it tonight , in a game of no consequence which says everything about the man , how the f*ck Garcia could look him in the eye after the game , we've got Dias and Barca have got Garcia says everything about where each club is heading.

I thought apart from a block he was awful. Throwing himself on the ground twice for Trossards goal was peak Otamendi behaviour.
He got dribbled past 5 times, rest of the team combined(6).
He an absolutely outstanding player but we shouldn't pretend he plays well because of that when he didn't.

He was better than Stones tonight..

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

He’s bloody phenomenal

Thats your opinion , my opinion is he had a good game and he did his best to block the first goal by throwing himself twice at Trousaards attempts , perhaps it was just down to a clever forward who dummied a player , dont call it pretending becasue someone has an alternative opinion , that's arrogance.

Looked off it tonight. Hopefully get it out of his system before the final. It's entirely Rodri's fault but felt he should have done better for their first goal. throwing your body in for a block is brilliant when it comes off but he can't be doing it constantly because players will very very quickly learn to just throw dummies all the time and suddenly he's gone from blocking everything to on his arse too much. Should have jockied him at the point where he dived in for a block, he was close enough to block any shot that may have come in without the need to go to ground. No problems though. Wonder how long before he gets his hands on the captains armband. Its an inevitability in my eyes.

He needs to lose the hero complex - his default Hollywood blocks will make him predictable; Trossard was clearly aware of how quickly he’d go to ground so exploited it, and will be the first of many.

Hero complex

Fuck me

Lol you think his “Hollywood blocks” are a hidden tactical secret and that Leandro fucking Trossard is the only attacker who’s caught on?

You must be a united fan

 

[dhruvblue]

Dummies will get better of him in future if he doesn't changes.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Wow!

Sometimes, it’s the only thing to say!

I thought that. It was like watching Phil Jones for Trossard’s goal.

Thought that was easily his worst game for us.

 

[FantasyIreland]

I thought he had a decent game,definitely one of our best players.

 

[wolviedinho]

Old fashioned defender in many ways. The blocks and last ditch tackles are a thing of beauty. Exactly what we needed.
