3 | Rúben Dias - 2021/22 Performances

[Dax777]

Vinny led us to our first ever PL title and then a couple more titles. Dias is a great player but Vinny's a legend. The Vinny-Yaya-Silva-Kun dynasty can't be topped.

It can. But Yes, those 4 are on Mount Rushmore for sure.

Ho Ho Ho!

His big brother must be some Brazilian drug lord haha

 

[Shaffer92]

Maybe his worst game for us.. he'll come back better though.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Poor game from him today.

 

[pudge]

Very poor today, especially for their first two.

I'm sure he'll be his harshest critic.

Pep Guardiola has said Ruben Dias was not aggressive enough to get the ball and prevent Leicester's first goal, after Aymeric Laporte slipped, because he was one yellow card away from suspension. [via

Pep just said he was cautious because if he got a yellow he would be banned, maybe the reason why he wasn’t his usual imposing self today.

Well, just a question about that. When do his accumulated yellow cards get wiped off the slate?

Ho Ho Ho!

Haha looks like a ransom photo

They don't get wiped, but he won't get a one match ban for 5 cards after today

I think this was the last game today. It's usually matchday 19.

Not quite. The threshold goes up from 5 to 10 on new year's eve. He needs to be a good boy down at Brentford on wednesday night. Maybe a case for leaving him out, particularly if Stones and/or Ake are available

I came within an ace of posting that!

Shit today, assist was pure luck too from an awful header.

Is this his first poor game for us? Because personally thought since he signed for us he has been at Least an 8/10 of majority of our games and be outstanding.

I wrote in the Laporte thread that I think Laporte is our best CB when things get stretched. I also think Dias is at his most limited under these circumstances.

Dias is like a better Otamendi. When you pushed back and need to defend deep the guy is a colossus. When you're controlling a game and need someone to push up and be aggressive to contain the opposition, Dias is as good as the best. But when things get stretched we have difficulties. His major weaknesses here are that he's ultra eager to commit and physically he's not the most imposing in strength nor speed. In fact Fernandinho had similar issues back in 19/20 (when we got countered almost every other game).

Thankfully he still operates at a high level even under these circumstances, but it's not his glorious best that we see. Also, it's been very rare to see a pinball back and forth game since his arrival.
