Dominik Szoboszlai Player Thread (M)

What's wrong with making fair assessments?

He had a poor game, I mentioned as such and that's it.

Diaz is getting slated despite having a better game? No one seems remotely bothered by that.

Diaz didn’t have a better game. You aren’t watching Dom if you think that.

I can easily just flip this right back at you. One person's opinion against another.

& based on what I saw, Szobo/Trent were the worst players for us yesterday.

Dom definitely had a stinker in terms of his ball work. Touch was way off. He is allowed the rare off day though.

Big difference for him not is he's free from injury and playing the position best suited to him.

Didn't quite fit Jürgen's system and if he adds a few more goals and assists to his game he'll be a monster 10

He's really becoming that Player we got a few glimpses of when he Captains his Country.



He's the leader of our Press, he interlinks with Mo like they are on the same planet and his goals are starting to come.


Confidence has to be sky rocket at the moment.


Long may it continue! 

There is a defect in this lad's game. He lacks big player mentality.

That one on one was his to take on. His responsibility. Instead he passed the buck.

Had that been one on one and it's an easy side pass to put a teammate in, then yes, that's a good decision (we've seen plenty of players do that). It was not an easy pass though. He had to take out the nearest defender by passing it away from him and with the right weight on it in order for Nunez to get on the end of it. He executed the pass, but the easier and the best chance of scoring was him doing it himself.

Said all this post match, so its interesting to hear Josh Williams (analysis fella on TAW) and the others on there say similar.

Josh also adds his frustration at him in saying he could pick out 20 instances where he doesn't accept the responsibility and take on the shot.

Given that he analyses games for a living and sees a lot more than me, I'm surprised at this. It's a concern. That is not the mentality we need.

He works his ass off and I'd have him in the team, but that weak mentality is something he has to get rid off if he is to make it here in the long run.

Oh come on ... some will make any excuse for nunez. Dom drew the keeper, he played a perfect pass for donkey darwin to tap in and he couldnt do it.

Could Dom have shot? Sure. But he layed on a tap in for our record signing and he still couldnt even hit the fcuking target

Making a good run and playing a perfectly timed ball so as to lay it on a plate for your teammate is good play. Any striker worth their salt sticks that in the back of the net, then there is no 'oh he lacks big game mentality for not taking the shot'..it's a ridiculous argument really.

You dont need big player mentality to put that chance away, it was on a plate. He gets his body shape all wrong. Thats ok, if your u9s

Shocking

As for Dom, he laid on his teammate whonis supposed to be elite at putting chances like that away  he was right to pass

If he hadnt and he missed the agenda would be switched to he should have passed to Darwin

Agree, he should have hammered that in.

Maybe we should sign a few players: Woodev, Cudev and Shuddev

Work permit issues

Bradley put it on a plate for him and he shirked the responsability by not rolling it down the side of the keeper, but besides that he didn't have a very good game anyway.....at fault for their first goal when he should be aware of what's around him and just leave it or nod it behind if you're unsure, it's basic stuff....you don't head a ball back into the danger zone.

Are people really still trying to blame Dom - he laid it on a plate for Nunez ffs

He was clear in the middle of the goal with only the keeper to beat before Nunez had even entered the 18 yard box, he was just behind Mings when the past was played and had to put on the afterburners to get ahead from a worse angle and lift it over a sliding leg whilst coming onto it at full speed, it was a terrible miss but the pass never should've arrived. Both things can be true.

Appears so

Midfield creator creates gilt edged chance for alleged goalscorer who makes a bollix of it, fault is with the midfielder for not shooting

Up there with the JFK one shooter theory

It was the perfect pass into a striker who had a open goal

Wouldnt say he was clear he had a defender up his hole who might well have got a challenge in and he was slightly right of central to the goal which narrowed his angle which might have benefited Martinez

Yes Dom might have scored....Nunez should have

He was clear to have a free shot at goal from a better central position, the defender was a few yards behind him. Just look at the image, any attacking player has to be scoring there. We'd be slating Darwin had he missed that, you can't apply different rules to different players because it suits you. Both players made a hash of it and that's the end of it.

What would suit me would be to not having this chat because my number 9 does his job....blame Dom if thats who you think is at fault but dont make out that it wasnt a tap in for Darwin...he fooked up big time plain and simple

Dom didn’t make a hash of anything

If he didn’t pass and took the shot and the gk saved you would be ripping him a new one for not passing to a teammate who was clear and open in the middle

Out of the two options Dom took the correct option

I've just said both made a hash of it, because that's what I saw.

We've known for a while Nunez is a terrible finisher, now we know Dom lacks courage and shirks responsability.

Thats your entitled opinion

Mine is different, mine is my 8 played a perfect ball to my 9 to tap in and he blazed it to fook knows where
