This is all behind the headlines we've gone. It's not even made it on The Daily. Ninja style. Full on ninja style. I'm joined by Sarah Halpin of the Badest Blue. That's all I'm going to say. Yes. I need to check it out too. And today we're going to talk about Karen Dahl. Now, Karen Dahl played in the Gomaria game at Goddison Park on Tuesday night. This is a lad who he played against Rotherham. He played against Southampton in the Carabao Cup. This is someone I think is very, very talented as a footballer. Left foot is fantastic. He's got the physique. He's a big lad. But at the moment, Southampton's missing from his game. So, what are your thoughts on Dahl in the main? The same as you really there, Bads. Last night I was pleased to see him getting his start. Obviously Sigurdsons being rested and what else for the weekend. I thought, you know, nice game at home against Lesser with all due respect to Poem. And he should be taking this like a, like Cenk Dosen as well, but for different reasons. He kind of needs to prove why he should be getting back in. Because he's not even in the squad at the moment and he's a little bit of a way off. He just, again, that's like, I know he got the goal. So, for people who didn't watch it or haven't seen it, might say, what more do you want from him? And kind of thing. But there is something missing there. I think last night I found that he would kind of do some things really very well. And he'd make the space for himself or whatever. But his decision making again, you thinking there's the pass or there you are. Have a shot with your left foot. Because we all know how beautiful of a striker he's got with his left foot. But he'd run into trouble. He'd hold onto the ball too long and end up, you know, losing possession or making the wrong decision, playing a bad pass. And at times he played well last night. And there's times where he does certain things where you think you can see that he is. Certain people have got that football and intelligence. And I guess I'll probably sound like I'm contradicting a little bit what I'm saying. Because I think he has got that. But he's not fully demonstrating it. He's not he's not blowing my socks off and I want to, you know, I think he's got the potential to do that. The kind of the shot it that left foot. I mean, it's a rare thing these days to have a play with such a strong left foot. And that's not all he's got. But I don't even fully know what it is that's missing. But there is there isn't that star quality there. He's just bubbling under and you know, I thought preseason, like he could have been like having we said, it'd be like having a new signing having Dal get a proper preseason obviously went out on a loan last season. So he wasn't with us dropped off again in preseason. Silver, I think obviously sort of said, look, you're not going to be part of my first team squad. But I don't know what it is, but it's I want more from him. I want to see more from him because I think it's there. But he's not demonstrating that right now. Yeah, I think he's the left foot lovely. And we've seen him, you know, for the under 23 score some well these scored one against God go Maya in preseason under under Ronald Koeman, didn't he? He's got the ability. There's no question about it technically wise. But for me, just too often, he's done the periphery of the game. The game just passes him by and it's you thinking, I don't know how you're going to get into this team. If the game passes you by, remember, I've quoted this a lot of times about Karen Dal. I remember me and Pep being an under 23 game a couple of years ago and Koeman was there and he was out of time coming towards the end of the season and we had a few injuries. So there was an opportunity for him to get himself in the first team for the last few games and we played, I think it was Southampton, they played and he didn't do anything. He wasn't running around trying to get involved. He wasn't tackling and then with five minutes left he killed one in the top corner but Koeman had already left, he left with 10 minutes to go. So he smashes one in the top bin and everyone was probably like, oh, what a player. Me like, for 85 he'd do the minutes though. He didn't do anything. Yeah. And you know against Rotherham, I thought he was decent against Rotherham. He looked like he'd matured a little bit, playing a forester. But then when he played against Southampton last round, he wasn't. In fact he got taken off for half time because he, I think he must have touched the ball three or four times in the whole half that was it. And I don't think at this level to get in the third team in the Premier League you've got to be able to, you've got to be in the game. Yeah. Some wingers will be on the periphery of games but then they'll do something devastating like Walcott. Walcott can have times when he's quiet for 20 minutes but then the next minute he'll cause something to happen or he works so hard. He mightn't be having the greatest game but he's still in general. I know he's had, he hasn't been playing great. I've liked but in general Theo will always work for you Rotherham. Yeah. You know, and you'll get the same. Look at the charlison on a different level. He doesn't always have a great game but he always gives everything. Yeah. He works hard and that, Tom Davis I would say the same. Tom Davis will have a lot of games where he doesn't play well but he always wants the ball. He's always given everything he's got. And with Kieran Dowell it's like he's not quite giving himself to the game. It's like he's holding something. Yeah. And I don't know whether that's just him but if that's just him he's not going to be a Premier League footballer. Yeah. Because you have to give everything. His margins are so fine. Yeah. In the Premier League you can't coach. You see, when he plays 323s it's easy for him.
