Imagine how badly Jamie Carragher's reputation would have fared if someone at Liverpool had decided he was the man to build a high line defence around.
That is one of the most pathetic things I've ever read. How on earth did you respond to such madness?When I was watching the game on Saturday night with my cousin, someone lost the ball, think it was Lennon...and my cousin started cursing Dawson up and down....I said how was that Dawson's fault and he just replied, because it fucking is, he's shit.
I was like, but it wasn't him who passed Lennon the ball...and then he started rewinding the play back on my Sky...and Dawson had passed it about four passes before it arrived at Lennon...and he said there you go, that's what started it, the source was Dawson.
That's what the poor bloke is up against lol
My opinion of him since the start of the season is that he's great to have around but really shouldn't be first choice in a possession based system using a high line.

deserve more respect than he gets on here?
yes or no?
For me its a definite yes. Whilst he might not be the most cultured CB around and can be exposed against pace and trickery he does give his all and despite what some say, he does actually have plenty of good days that don't really get acknowledged...some will say ok etc when rating them and nothing more. A not so good day and its a complete and utter assassination.
I'm not saying the sun shines out of him, simply that he gets far too much stick when the guys performs competently enough for the most part and really cares and fights for the cause.
I'd replace many in this squad before Michael Dawson.
I'm dedicating this thread to A&C, as it was his post that gave me the courage and inspiration to post this lol..
There's a huge difference between critique and the horrible bile some people spout about him. Plus you have the unbelievably unfair stuff like this:I'm welling up. Your courage writing that has touched me.
You're right of course, Dawson is a brave, brave millionaire footballer who doesn't deserve to have his performances critiqued. Shame on all of us.

The thing he is what you want every player to be like and if your daughter brought home a footballer you would want it to be dawson.

Don't talk about 'Verts' that wayAlso earlier in the season Vertonghen made just as many mistakes but got away with the abuse Dawson did
Seems people have already forgotten that Dawson was our best player vs Cardiff
