He sure looked like he had a fast first step when Raphinha schooled him.Dimarco has a faster first step which defensively is all that matters.

Dumfries seems to struggle a lot more when asked to break down a defence, rather than run at them.I'm usually not so vocal against one player, but goddamn is Dumfries a liability in attack. Džeko also isn't having his best game, but we don't really have anybody else that could play instead of him right now.
His stamina is fine, we are constantly going the left flank and him delivering crossing, shooting, sprinting here and there and everything else takes energy. He lacks in defensive duties though.Dimarco needs to work on his stamina. He is not a worse player than Calabria, but the latter has a lot of stamina, grinta and work rate.
His lack of stamina is the exact reason why he can't keep up with the opponents attack. Perisic used to run forward a lot more than him, yet he would always track back to neutralize attacks.His stamina is fine, we are constantly going the left flank and him delivering crossing, shooting, sprinting here and there and everything else takes energy.

Exactly. The issue isn't his stamina. He's just a bad defender.His stamina is fine, we are constantly going the left flank and him delivering crossing, shooting, sprinting here and there and everything else takes energy. He lacks in defensive duties though.
