Seems he really is shit after all.

instead of marking him closely he decided to do a STAR MAN jump next to him

your right - he's shit

Think it was Johnson who gave away the first goal,and its he's poorly placed pass that could have cost us a second.

Dawson been on the end of most crosses and moped up well imho,Allardyce and Southgate saying Dawson should have done better,is pretty rich coming from two managers that have been sacked.Just how many goals did Blackburn and Middlesboro concede while these two were at the helm?

Denmark might be average,but what have England acheived in recent years to say were better,apart from indivdualy on paper there might be an argument for that.

As I say Bash, I didn't see it so I'm just going by what the majority of people are telling me.

If Dawson has "been on the end of most crosses" tonight then he must have had a very lucky game. Generally, his positioning is piss poor. As I've said before, his last ditch recovery tackles look good but if he wasn't in the wrong place in the first time nine times out of ten, he wouldn't have to make them.

Considering he spends 90% of his time watching the ball instead of his man, I'm surprised he's not on the end of every cross. A demonstration of how good he can be in the air is to watch him in the opposition's box. However, in his own box it's a bit more complicated as his has a man to watch as well as the flight of the ball and he usually ends up dragging them down or letting them get a shot/header away

Nobody has to take my word for it. All you have to do is watch him.

Another solid performance yesterday and a goal too,so he might never get ahead of some others in the England side (their loss) but for my team hes the backbone,so put that in your pipe and smoke it Odm

He's a fucking liability mate. He single-handedly knocked your team out of the cup inside fifteen minutes with his brainless performance. Sign two decent defenders in the summer and you'll make Spurs a top five side for a good while.

If you read up, you'll see that I've already said that he has no problem with heading balls in the opposition's box. It's just defending he's shit at and I want him nowhere near my national side.

Its a matter of opinion mate,the FA cup game was hes first game back from injury,and he was part of our defence that got us into 4th place,England he will only get in if others are injured,for me he might look might clumsy and uncordinated,but he does a good job for us,so I cant agree with your level of critisism at him We face another tough test against AC Milan,so lets see how he does there.

[ONEDUNME]

His two blunders in the FA cup were nothing to do with coming back from injury mate. It was all about wank decision making. Trying to play football when he's clearly not capable of doing so. His poor decision making is also the reason that he gets himself sent off.

[ONEDUNME]

Not satisfied with getting them knocked out of the cup, two mistakes against Arsenal tonight in the first fifteen minutes and that's the Champions League place gone

Did you watch MOTD ODM ?
Dawson was awful , lucky not to give a pen away with a handball in the area ...

[ONEDUNME]

Well he made up for it today Winrew by giving away a penalty with another had ball.

Would have been doubly gutting if it was a mistake by this clown that cost me my Blackpool relegation bet but that particular penalty was missed.

I got slated by wishing ill on him last year but if it comes down to having a choice between him having a broken leg or playing in my country's back four in a major tournament or qualifier, I'd have the cunt in p,aster every time.

Total liability
