3 | Ruben Dias - 2025/26

[johnny crossan]

New contract = big mistake.

 

[dadnlad]

I think he needs to get better as he will soon be dropped if he doesn’t pick up . Poor yesterday .

Just signed massive contract hes going nowhere

 

[Kinkladze 1]

I Agree. He's gone from an excellent player to average in last two seasons. I don't understand how we can reward such mediocrity with a 4 year contract extension. Baffling.

Ask Rico Lewis.

Getting to the point now where I'm not actually sure what it is that he does well

I was always led to believe it was his leadership qualities that stood out, but I think we need a little more than that from someone who seems to play every time he's fit

We were badly lacking leadership 2nd half today. I think he was trying to do too much on the ball at times. Needs to just keep it moving and stay calm

Ask Rico Lewis.

Fair comment but I think Rico realises he has to improve, not sure Dias does.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Not sure why he got a new contract. He hasn’t been performing well for over a year now.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Not sure why he got a new contract. He hasn’t been performing well for over a year now.

Hmm. Maybe because he's become best mates with his fellow compatriot, Hugo. Other than that I can't see who else sanctioned the extended contract, or why?

 

[Sam69]

He is bullied by any half-decent forward now. Mateta dominated him fa cup final

Even in the past, he has always had great difficulty against a striker of a large size who imposes a physical fight on him, I remember his suffering against Antonio of West Ham, he is rarely able to get out of it, or he has to make a foul.

 

[Ashleymcduff]

Slow , can’t win a header , and a massive fanny.
Prob worst centre back going by form at the club atm

Been dog shit for 18 months

 

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

He's certainly no Vinnie Kompany

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I think too much of his game is about him trying to be a leader. He needs to concentrate on his own game first. He may well talk the talk but can't tackle the tackle anywhere near how Kompany could.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

He's certainly no Vinnie Kompany

Indeed. I wrote my comment before I read yours BTW but we're both on the same way of thinking : )

Pulls his shorts up nice and high when we face a corner or free kick. He does that well, fuck knows why.

You forgot absolute shite leader.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Not great yesterday, has started to look rather slow since start of last season and his heading skills are not good enough. Sick of seeing people posting his pec pics on social media and him hiking his shorts up at corners like it makes him jump higher...it doesn't.

 

[Columbia]

Too busy with Maya Jamma, he always slow and laboured. Nowhere near good enough

 

[Trojan1962]

Stones and Gvardiol my preferred pairing. Dias has underperformed for long enough

 

[Hurricane]

30 seconds left of overtime and he makes that short pass to Trafford. What was he thinking of? There was no time to start a new attack from the back so why not a long ball to Haaland instead of a risky pass?
