- THIRTEEN AND CLOSING
As Dimma said his inside game is elite and it is showing, for a 21 yr old with 1 pre-season it's scary to think how good he can get.
As you can see he's in some pretty elite company.
1st in Total clearances
1st in Average clearances per game
He's also 5th in total first possessions, 13th first possessions per game & 7th in total cont poss and 15th in cont poss per game.
So next time you criticise him about missing a goal, be mindful that he's busting his gut in the middle winning more ball than anyone whilst having a tag hanging off his back as well.
