I personally still think the point about Dawson that's poor is his complete ineptitude with the ball at his feet. We don't have a team of midfielders who are going to run around and pick up all the second balls from knockdowns, or quick wingers and other forwards to make plays from flick ons,

We have one of the best central midfielders in the league, and most of the best chances were making are coming from tricky interplay in the middle of the pitch, just look at Spence's or Kaleta's chances. Hoofing the ball long to no one actually in particular stops the rest of the team from playing at their best. It's 2025 not 1985 and the game has evolved, a good keeper has to be able to do more than just be a good shot stopper
