Wheres a bloodthirsty Yank dentist when you need one?
Kudos on the retort
Poor old Dave plays like he's got the bends.

He's prone to a wobble - looked like he had some kind of inner ear infection on Tuesday. Or at least a heavy head cold.
Still. We've definitely seen worse at the back in recent times.
Naybet, Davenport, Rocha, Fazio ..... Kaboul in between being alright for a bit, Vlad - players more deserving of the label "horrific" to be fair.
He's not the smoothest motherfucker for sure but, on balance, he's probably been our most reliable defender this season, in terms of doing purely "defendy" stuff.
Most centerbacks don't hit their prime until their late 20s. Van Dijk was 27, Toby 27, Jan 27-28 when they really entered that "among the best in the world" part of their careers.
Thanks to our keeper bailing out a sloppy act by his replacementNo sign of Torville and we get our first clean sheet since the plague.
Van Dijk played for Celtic at Davinson's current age I believe. A few years on and he's deemed the best of his generation.
Embarrassing to even hint that he could become close to that standard.

He's actually regressing though.No hint made, just factual that Van Dijk was playing at Celtic at his age so clearly there are things Davinson could still achieve that are higher than the levels he demonstrates at present.
I don't expect him to reach those levels but the point is look what can develop over the space of a few years.
One of the most ridiculous things I have seen on here.
He was excellent for us and absolutely massive in bringing on King.
