Re: Tyler Dibling
I’m more worried that we will coach the stuff out of him that made us go for him in the first place the off the cuff skills ability to play through the lines creating chances if he is worried about his defensive responsibilities all the time that will come at a cost

It hasn’t happened to Grealish, it didn’t happen to Iliman either.Kerryblueboy wrote: Fri Sep 18, 2026 1:47 pm I’m more worried that we will coach the stuff out of him that made us go for him in the first place the off the cuff skills ability to play through the lines creating chances if he is worried about his defensive responsibilities all the time that will come at a cost

Re: Tyler Dibling
Ultimately we're not Man City so we don't play 90% of games camped out in the opposition half, trying to break down low blocks.
Wide players for us absolutely need to do the attacking stuff in transition or when we have little periods of domination in games, but the reality is they also need to work with their full back defensively and that's the same for the vast majority of teams in the Prem. Even clubs the size of Liverpool were regularly punished that way because Mo Salah did less and less defensive work over the years, and their right back would get hammered.
If you don't do that defensive work, opposition teams will overload your fullbacks, you will concede goals and you will be out of the team. I'm sure Dibling is well aware of that. It's not rocket science.

A man who loves tackle is a man of great culture
I thoroughly enjoyed the tackle but I loved that it went from that pass to the tackle.

Re: Tyler Dibling
There was a proper tit behind me on Wednesday, fucking giving Dibling pelters all game. Then bemoaning that he didnt have any confidence.
Calling him all the names under the sun, infront of his two kids too. Fucking cup randoms.
That being said when he was given MOTM me and my Dad just laughed at him.

I don't know what game some people watch in the ground tbh, some people just won't back down from their previous opinions regardless of what happens.

Re: Tyler Dibling
Dibling has the perfect example of what to do in Grealish. It’s not about coaching the attacking side out of his game, it’s about getting him to improve defensivelyKerryblueboy wrote: Fri Sep 18, 2026 1:47 pm I’m more worried that we will coach the stuff out of him that made us go for him in the first place the off the cuff skills ability to play through the lines creating chances if he is worried about his defensive responsibilities all the time that will come at a cost
