Patrick Dorgu | 2024/25 Performances

[Bobski]

He is a monster physically, up and down with intensity all night, and that goes a long way in that position. A lot of work to do to refine his game but decent tools to start with.

 

[harms]

I’m really disappointed with his on the ball skills so far to be fair. Passing is erratic, shooting is inaccurate and often weak… But his off the ball movement is exceptional, he was crucial for our win tonight. If he adds a bit of quality to that, he can become a very good player.

Also, fair play on that non-penalty incident.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Fair play telling the referee it wasn’t a penalty. Top guy.

 

[DWelbz19]

As others have said — he’s big and quick. Similar to Heaven, we need more of these players as a baseline.

 

[Rossa]

This is what some of us have been saying about having the right physical profile. His pace and power wrecked them tonight even if his final pass or technique wasn't the best. Shades of Antonio Valencia. We don't win this game without him.

He's not close to Valencia in terms of speed nor strength, yet, but he sure is a physical presence, which we sorely lacked.

 

[FriedClams]

I honestly love honesty in players, the fact he told the ref it wasn’t a pen put him way up in my estimation

 

[Nick7]

He wins so many free kicks it’s insane.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

He's a menace isn't he?

Can't shoot for shit but meh,

 

[strandty]

 

[Art]

He was instrumental in stretching the Sociedad defense today. So excited to watch his growth.

 

[next_number_seven]

Anagram of Dorgu is R U God?

Very good

 

[Woodzy]

I like him. He’s very raw and I think there will probably be games where we are tearing our hair out, but at least we now have a reason for other teams to actually fear the attack from our left side.

 

[Oranges038]

Good performance.

Plenty more to come from him, I think.

 

[Bwuk]

He was outstanding today.

 

[NinjaZombie]

Well done to him for saying that wasn't a penalty. Didn't look like it was the first time watching. Did the right thing.

Excellent performance as well. He bring a physicality that we've lacked for a while now.

 

[M Bison]

I’m not sure I agree with the honesty point, if they’d scored immediately after I think it puts a different complexion on things!

 

[DeGea]

Very athletic, fantastic modern day full back. I see what Ruben is trying to build.

 

[REDARMY45]

Solid. But more importantly—he’s proof that with wingbacks we’ll look a different team.

 

[Desert Eagle]

He's not close to Valencia in terms of speed nor strength, yet, but he sure is a physical presence, which we sorely lacked.

I'm glad you have the qualifier yet in there. I agree but he's 20 and has time to grow into his man body.

 

[Smores]

Do feel like he was a very good system purchase. We lacked what he's brought to the team and it's very evident. Needs to improve elements of his play but he's young so it'll come.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

I’m not sure I agree with the honesty point, if they’d scored immediately after I think it puts a different complexion on things!

That makes it even more brave, it would have been a lot easier to do that after the third goal.

 

[JezChan]

Yong n' lernin'. You can see the diamond in there with a season or two of development.

 

[Chip]

I’m not sure I agree with the honesty point, if they’d scored immediately after I think it puts a different complexion on things!

Should've been overturned by VAR anyway. Even though you can obviously not trust that shitty system.

 

[Blood Mage]

Very raw technically but he's strong and quick and never gives up.

 

[Drainy]

More balance and physicality than quality, but he's got enough technical strengths to show promise.

Definitely a project player and high upside if he works hard on his final ball.

 

[Ekeke]

Good game despite not getting a good ball into the box or having a good attempt at goal from his several attempts. Things to work on for sure, but he was constantly a threat on the left and contributed by getting a penalty and his run in behind the defender who was sent off

 

[quadrant]

He’s raw, and we’ll wait and see if he has the technical ability to truly become a mainstay. But we’ve had a lot of half arsed players in recent years and seeing someone with his levels of stamina, pace and power is incredibly refreshing. Lovely to see how much his running opened up space in that game.

 

[Captain Barnacles]

Really like him, think he's going to be a top player eventually, gets forward like Evra used to, if he can improve his crossing and some decision making he'll have that position locked down. I also think having these six months to settle in before next season will benefit him greatly.

 

[OverratedOpinion]

If he continues to play like that going forward then the goals will come. Much more positive and decisive in his runs.

 

[Rossa]

I'm glad you have the qualifier yet in there. I agree but he's 20 and has time to grow into his man body.

Don't get me wrong, the yet is a necessity for that sentence to work. Valencia was a beast though - one of the fastest ever players we've had. I don't see Dorgu being in that bracket, but he's built like he can rival Valencia for strength. That being said, core strength is much more important than big guns. Salah is impossibly strong, for instance.

 

[redom]

I’m really disappointed with his on the ball skills so far to be fair. Passing is erratic, shooting is inaccurate and often weak… But his off the ball movement is exceptional, he was crucial for our win tonight. If he adds a bit of quality to that, he can become a very good player.

Also, fair play on that non-penalty incident.

He definitely needs to polish up his ball playing skills but just the way he plays that position is such a positive for us, taking up positions and making runs that none of the other options there come close to. If he can become more consistent once he gets himself into these positions then he could be very effective for us.

 

[Dominos]

I honestly love honesty in players, the fact he told the ref it wasn’t a pen put him way up in my estimation

Don't want to be negative as he had a good game, but that's the sort of gesture you make at 3-0 up

Don't think the manager would be too impressed had Sociedad made it 2-2 after that.

 

[Raoul]

Good energy. Needs to work on his passing and shooting a bit more, which i'm sure will happen given he's only 20.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

INEOS have got one.

 

[MrBest]

Don't want to be negative as he had a good game, but that's the sort of gesture you make at 3-0 up

Don't think the manager would be too impressed had Sociedad made it 2-2 after that.

The replay clearly showed it was not a pen. If anything, he's just saving time as VAR would have overturned the decision anyway. Wpuld love to see more of this in football, especially that VAR is here.

 

[Plant0x84]

Don't want to be negative as he had a good game, but that's the sort of gesture you make at 3-0 up

Don't think the manager would be too impressed had Sociedad made it 2-2 after that.

It’s sportsmanship and is to be commended. I’ll take that over shithousing whatever the score every day. Well done Pat!

 

[always_hoping]

Like what I see from him hopefully more of the same in the weeks and months ahead.

 

[Plant0x84]

INEOS have got one.

They’ve more than one! Heaven looks excellent, Zirkzee is coming good, Mazraoui is a beast, deligt is improving, Ugarte has looked useful and Dorgu is a don. Great stuff so far.

 

[Irwin99]

As i said in the Amorim thread, he's very raw but you can see the benefits of having a player with his profile in this system. Constantly up and down the pitch, powerful and fast. It does make a difference.

 

[cj_sparky]

20 years old in a new league in a struggling team, he is always going to make some mistakes early on. But their are far more positives than negatives, yes his passing and shooting can do with some work. But the energy he gives this team will be a massive positive to this Amorim system.
