3 | Ruben Dias - 2024/25

[M16 citeh]

He might not solve everything but he went definitely help organise the defence as currently no one seems to be taking charge

 

[sh249]

Regardless of how he plays, he might at least bring a bit of personality and character back into the team.
Performances are worrying enough, but far and away the most concerning thing in the last few games is how we‘ve collapsed and surrendered.

Love the guy. He's our de facto captain.

Love the guy. He's our de facto captain.

I think the last bit he pinched from Gandalf in Lord of the Rings

“in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
or
"Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer".

Even if we lose on Sunday, we need characters like Dias to slowly pull the form around. We’re in a bad way at the minute but the belief must be that we can turn it around.

I think this blip might be the best thing to galvanise the fans every home game should be fucking until the end of the season, let’s get that old school fuck it win or lose we are on the booze, the glory hunters won’t know what’s hit them.

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

What a guy, he comes in and puts in a MOTM performance despite the shite that surrounds him on the pitch. The real captain of this team, the only player in the squad other than Rodri with the fighting spirit.

 

[Blu1]

First game back but one Fook up but was very good

 

[city warrior]

Clearly we look much more solid defensively. I know people are mad, but I think this is the start of being back to a high level.

 

[WallyA]

Made a fuck up with Walker on the 2nd... but he was clearly a net positive to the defence.

2nd only to Ake. Akanji 3rd. Walker the worst.

 

[super_city_si]

Need to be captain.

 

[skillman]

Good to have a bit of authority at the back.

Rank defending at the end . No need although wasn’t helped by walkers heavy touch when he could have got Ruben out of trouble

 

[Akira]

Nice to see him in the team again, we really needed him back.

Good to have a bit of authority at the back.

That's what you saw today? An authoritative defensive performance? I don't know, I saw more cluelessness.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

His mistake killed the game .....he is not comfortable on ball , only Akanji out of back 4 is comfortable

The only reason we didn't concede 5 or 6 is because the dippers were wasteful, we may improve defensively with him but this game was not an example of it at all, and I think we have too many issues defensively, Dias returning doesn't fix most of them.

Lol christ.
