See defensively I had no problems with Dabo, there was a couple of passages of play though when we went forward on the counter but Dabo had to cut back on to his right. The full back worked it out and it slowed our play down.Thought Dabo was much the more effective on the left and more defensively able too. In the first half Kane was constantly being caught out positionally as Blackburn looked to play Nyambe in behind him. He looked really uncomfortable on the left, whereas Dabo is the more skilful, more adept on the ball and better able to link play on the left. If we have to play without Maatsen in future I would much prefer us to go with Kane on the right and Dabo on the left,
like I said previously we need to get Maatsen through to January and make it a priority to sign a left footed full back. Kane and Dabo are strong players to compete for the right hand side
