There is a class off player who while never being technically stellar, are highly dependable and wholly committed to the cause on-pitch. Dawson was one such player. Clubs IMHO need a certain number of such players in their ranks if they are ever to achieve continual success.
PSV are currently beating Ajax 2-0 in the Dutch equivalent of the Charity Shield. Noni Madueke scored both goals and they're both pretty impressive, despite some **** defending:
Noni Madueke got the second as PSV beat Heracles 2-0 yesterday. He's been linked with a move to Leicester, which would be... undesirable.
Lamela scores to make it 2-0 to Sevilla against 10-man Vallecano: Some nice work in the buildup, but it's all a little scrappy. They all count though, so who cares? Good to see him starting off well.
