so just accept him as defensively poor player and let others take up the slack?
yeah, thats the culture that will get the best of each and every player and lead to success.
Like I said, some players are like that, like it or not, that's the way they are. Some players are not suited to certain positions or roles.
There is no reason that Dusty cant learn his defensive side from his current position/role...nothing to do with culture.
how long has dusty been playing his current role, and how well has he developed his defensively side in that time? To just accept a flaw in a persons game, one that is in the head rather than skill related, is most definitely a culture thing.
but lets look at it another way.
Dusty is a dynamic midfielder who can play forward and kick goals, yet has a defensive game that is not as good as it could be.
Hardick and co, it appears, would like him to become a midfielder who can play forward and kick goals, as well as being able to play an attacking role off halfback where he can use his long penetrating kick to great advantage, while also improving his defensive game. They feel that with the interchange restrictions coming in that the more versatile a player is, the better it for the team in terms of rotating midfielders
But you think the current form of Martin is a better and more valuable player than more rounded, versatile, and complete player that they have a vision of him hopefully becoming?
