3 | Ruben Dias - 2022/23 Performances

[FantasyIreland]

Should be made captain, Gundo and KDV vice.

Watch the Dinho documentary,i suspect he already is.

I think Dias took a step back from his imperious performances in 20/21. I'm not sure why. Maybe a dash of second season syndrome, or maybe he just doesn't have the same understanding with Laporte as he does with Stones. He is a tad slow for someone we expect to defend in a high line—not Maguire slow, but compare Dias in a footrace with Laporte or Stones and he definitely comes off the worse.

Harry Kane gave him the runaround at the Etihad, completely dominated him, and I think he was one of the main culprits of our collapse in the Madrid tie. Should have done better on Vinicius' goal in the first leg, went completely missing for that Rodrygo header, and of course conceded that daft penalty in extra time for the decider. Maybe we rushed him back from injury a little too quickly, I don't know.

I'm not saying he was bad, but he does have room to improve, and if he costs us again in serious moments next year like he did against Madrid, we should definitely be asking big questions of him.

Are you going around every thread pointing out their negatives for a reason ?

The reason is to add to the discussion.

I thought that bit where he suggested they'd already picked the next captain was weird considering all the players and staff are meant to vote on it every summer lol

More groomed,moulded and fine tuned.

Dias is the standout candidate,he oozes leadership....im glad it was recognised,but it wasn't exactly revelationary.

I've read all your comments in the player discussions and they've all been fair and measured. I agree with most everything you've said.

I think he need period of adjustment last season is meant to be that, clearly his debut season he performing way beyond expectation. It only normal there will be period of up and down after player being settled a season in here.
