#3 | Rúben Dias - 2020/21 Performances

[Blue Hefner]

I think I love him

Is he actually *that* good or just a different class to what we’ve been used to for 12-18 months? I suppose we’ll find out but I think he’s the business and just what we need

I think he’s very good. We’ve seen enough shite back there to know when someone is different gravy and he is levels above anything we’ve seen in that position since Vinny.

 

[jaiguruKun]

I like the way he reads the game and doesn't dive in as much as some of our previous CBs.

 

[Delphinho]

First time since Kompany left that I felt confident with the defence. Amazing signing. Only 23 as well

 

[Withnail]

Early days, but looks a very accomplished defender. Good in the air, strong in the tackle and composed on the ball. Excellent signing

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Constantly looks over his shoulder to check the runner behind him and he covered two players either side of him for a cross. I feel like we've got a genuine partnership for the first time in years.

 

[meltonblue]

Think he’s got the right personality we needed too. A hard bastard that doesn’t like losing.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

His reading of the game is really good, he is perfect for our style. Early days still of course.

and I say this as someone who was extremely underwhelmed about signing him.

 

[Ric]

Early days, but looks like Begiristain has been more than vindicated with this one. He’s been great so far.

 

[Mr Partridge]

This. I remember Mangala looking like a world beater on his debut against Chelsea, he scored an own goal in the following game(I think) and his head just went, looked shit scared almost every game after that.

Mental toughness for a centre half at this level is so important, and in Ruben we finally seem to have found a defender with a bit of attitude and confidence. At long last!
