What about him? Vidic doesn't stop anyone. He just fouls them over and over and over again. I've often thought that one of Dawson's biggest weaknesses is that he actually cleanly goes for the ball.

I'd be more concerned about finishing above Sunderland IIWY

Can't wait to see Ba playing for a big club next season

Yeah Dawson was immense tonight. Always been a big fan, you need men like that in your squad. Loved his interview afterwards, really chuffed to earn the draw. Miles better than many on here think.

Perhaps after they have had their arses handed to them at the lane he will make his decision...

Vidic is widely regarded as the best centre back in the league along with kompany
Dawsons biggest weakness is that lack of extra pace and the occasional hoof
He is a good solid stopper and id rather have him than not. For me he is better than any of the arsenal or liverpoo centre backs and probably Chelsea's too

credit to dawson, he played well and contained carroll most of the time.
his issue was never his pace or physical ability but rather his decision making - hoofing it to the wrong places or at the wrong time, committing himself rashly and leaving the defence open etc.
hope to see the end of it, but with Dawson it seems you'll never know...
having said that Kaboul has come on leaps and bounds and still hasn't quite perfected the art of being "switched on" at the right times either.
maybe we're all too spoilt by having King for so long that our standards are unrealistically high now.

He is a good player but he is poor next to Kaboul, they don't compliment him at all. Players like Bassong, Gallas, King and even Cahill who we were looking at all suit Dawson and Kaboul, but all of those players have some sort of question mark over them, which is why we still need to sign someone. From what I've seen I think Caulker is also similar to both of them unfortunately.
He was a fudging beast along with King today though.

Dawson had a good game last night and I love him. I'm pretty sure everyone loves him, but it's just a fact now that he's not as good as Kaboul. It's King and Kaboul all the way. Dawson and Gallas battle it out for third choice and tbh, for me, Gallas just shades it. I'm just happy we have such quality in depth. It's great problems to have, especially with the very, very impressive Caulker also to come back and throw his hat into the ring.

the end of standard to slow paced Cb's then? despite being positionally aware and forming great defensive partnerships? like i said, its unfair for me personally. not everyone can be built and quick like kaboul (who IMO isnt even as good as people make out even though he is having a monster year next to king / gallas)
you do realise that the only thing kaboul has on dawson is athletic ability....dawson has eveything else over kaboul.
you better pray kaboul never gets a long term injury cause you'd be hard pressed to find a CB as big and as quick as him. quite frankly you cant turn your nose up at slow CBs. they generally are all slow anyway. and if they aren't then they are weak

A baseless dig? where did you get that from? i said he was fantastic tonight. He clearly likes it when we have to defend for ours lives.
You want me to go? Just because i think Dawson is a bit shaky? Thats just my opinion.
So thats one good game him in his last three games, lets see what he can do from here. And i hope he`ll be solid.

When I first saw the tackle real-time thought it was a pen and could visualise the threads on here afterwards. Wriggly would have had a field-day :lol:
Must say he got that one surgically accurate and thank fcuk the ref called it proper
Right back atcha.....some people prefer not to jump on the bandwagen of "slag someone off as sh#t because someone else is playing well"
Who got proved wrong by Dawson yesterday regarding the comments pre-match?
Next time it will be Kaboul, soon as his form drops a bit....even King was a "past it idiot" the other week
