Agreeing with Totman here, no idea where all this Dawson hate has suddenly emerged from. Give it a year or so ago and Kaboul was a bigger liability than Dawson, just enjoying a good run of form at the moment. Dawson has been at the back on some great runs/games and since we've started playing better football, his hoofing is nowhere near as prevailent as it was
It hasn't suddenly emerged, but since he's such a smashing lad and brave defender voiceing any concerns over him has not been tolerated until last season. I've been sceptical of Dawson as long as he's been at Spurs and while he did well for us the season we finished 4th, it doesn't mean he should be 1st choice now or that he isn't a rather limited player, prone to positional errors and loves to hoof it.
