An apology
To Stuart Dallas
Not a fan, never was last season nor this season.
Dont think he is a quality player like Hernandez, Saiz or Alioski.
Doesnt offer the excitement that those 3 have.
Doesnt even offer the same unpredictable flair of Sacko.
But!!!!
He offers something else.
Balance, unselfishness, professionalism, consistency.
You don't get Saiz like runs, Pablo nutmegs, Alioski rocket goals.
You dont get match winning performances like those 3 have this season.
You also dont get diving, spitting and tantrums.
You get something all 3 have struggled with, consistent steady performances.
He will do a job, a 7/10 at left back, left wing, right back and right wing. Its not spectacular but it is dependable.
And he deserves to start vs Boro, Pablo and Roofe may be fit, they dont start imo.
