If we cast our minds minds ack to the summer and Craig Dawson, he received a hammering on the forums from several of those who knew full well that the bloke was no good!
But quite apart from knowing that Dawson was very good at such defensive duties the manager was obviously well aware of his goal scoring abilities. too
Now the Premier League has pointed out on its website that he has found the net on 41 occasions in the League, more than any other defender in England’s top four tiers since 2009/10.
That’s a pretty decent performance for the 30 year old who – it should be pointed out – has managed three for the Irons in six games which is one more than Seb Haller has scored in the same number of games for Ajax.
