No, if he does it would be an unbelievable interception. Collins is high and wide up the pitch as Brentford have the ball, Pinnock literally passes the Arsenal player in on goal and Collins has to sprint back to cover. The odds are massively against him stopping the pass, he's sprinting back towards goal and the Arsenal man has space and time to pick out his team mate for an easy finish, which he does.

Ok, I'd like to see it from another angle before I comment further.

He almost intercepted it but might've been better to stay on his feet and close the Arsenal player maybe?

Might be bit harsh though as he certainly wasn't the main culprit who made such an insane backpass under that press. 
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Pinnock passed the ball straight to an Arsenal player putting him in on goal, Collins fault? LOL

Hadn't realised the Aviva was a 4G blackspot?

Germanic pronunciation? Dutch people speak Dutch. You were b*tching about how a Dutch players name was being pronounced by a commentator, when in fact he was pronouncing it correctly and you were talking out of your hole. I wouldn't even compliment you by calling you an armchair fan, you're just a good old fashioned clown Clown
I never once mentioned or bitched about how any Dutch players name should be pronounced so you have me mixed up with someone else, that's why I thought it was bizzare and even more  bizarre now if you were at a match(which I doubt) on YBIG, posting about it.  But you get called out that many times by other posters for your relentless child like green tinted obsession, I can see how you lose track of who it is.Thumbs Up

How Dawson is doing this season is irrelevant. Last season he took Collins place and kept him out of the team. Collins got move and if he doesn’t become a bit more battle hardened he will be out of the team again before long. He needs to wise up and improve his concentration.

He's a bit like John Stones at that age. He does his best work with the ball.

Hopefully he will improve defensively with more experience.

A young defender playing in the PL will have bad days no matter the opposition. Wouldn’t be panicking just yet.

It seems to be a trend with Collins though. He put in similar performances for Wolves and ended up getting dropped for Craig Dawson, who wouldn't be half as good a footballer but who knows how to defend.

Hoping he improves and quickly because the PL is ruthless, a manager is not going to let a central defender "bed in" if he's costing them games.

Not doing him much use on the evidence of this season, was all at sea vs Luton yesterday as well.

Well I haven't seen much of Dawson this season, but his signing kept Wolves up last season, I have no doubt about that. Maybe his form has dipped since Lopetegui left. 

But the point remains the same, Nathan's basics of defending need to improve if he wants to remain a first choice PL defender.
