3 | Ruben Dias - 2023/24

[youngbob]

He's still really high quality, but I don't think he's ever looked as good as he did during the 20/21 season since he stopped being partnered with Stones. That back four of Walker, Dias and Stones, with Zinchenko, Cancelo, and Laporte alternating at LB, is probably the tightest our defence has ever looked under Pep? He's been great ever since then but he was the PL POTY in 20/21. He's never quite hit those heights since.

It must be really hard having a changing back line every week. Even harder being asked to organise and play a high line when you know the majority of forwards are fast as fuck.
Agree though, he isnt consistently as good but still has moments like the other night.

He'd get a red card for that, if it was on salah or havertz in a PL game.

He's had an uneven season by his standards, but I actually think the narrative is becoming a bit overblown. He's been steady for a while now

Fantastic today. Big game player.

Personally I thought the goal was down to him. He got better after that but he has to deal with that situation better.

I thought he was awful on the goal, but played well after that.

I agree with that and he played well again yesterday when he came on.
