A. Dobra carries risk because his role asks for difficult, high-loss actions.
He should be judged on territory, isolation quality and whether the next pass or run arrives around him.A. Dobra
Role Snapshot
What He Gives Orient
His value is tied to the support picture around him. If the nearest midfielder arrives underneath and the forward pins the centre-back, his touches become attacks; if not, the same actions look like isolated losses.
Deep passes that found an inside connection: 33%; deep passes dying before pressure: 83%.Because so much build-up is routed through his zone, poor spacing around him can make his turnovers look worse than they are.
24 losses in the sample, with 0 becoming dangerous transition leaks.Related Clips

Deep Build-Up Decisions
This is the key Orient-context question: is Dobra being used to connect through midfield, or to release the next phase as early as possible?
