And I was told that he wouldn’t get another PL if he left United because he’s only championship level
Yeah he was never a championship level player, classic overreaction. He is a very decent player and was very young and inexperienced at the highest level when we got him. So it’s hardly a shock that he has improved.
Still we need Shaw level quality at rb and can keep him as back up and for rotation.

Agreed. I thought he was done for. If he keeps this up then he’ll get an England call up.
He's ahead of Dalot in the pecking order for me. Good performance today.
2 sloppy passes today, otherwise magnificent. Loved his performance.
Ahead of Walker, Trippier or Reece James? Maybe he will get a call up if those arent available but otherwise i dont think AWB has much off an England future
On brilliant form, that side feels more secure with him at FB.
Another who Ten Hag and the coaches deserve credit for
He is extremely likeable player. Keeps his head down and works extremely hard all the time.
I want him to stay going forward as he could be an excellent back up, but if we are ever going to sell no way that we should sell under 40 million£. Anyway, delighted for him.

His awkward style definitely made him look before. He is a decent RB and seemed to improve a bit, although, of course, his short passing, concentration, and defending in the air still need improving to be called a really good RB for us.
AWB gives you defensive ability that Dalot (and tbf most other FBs in the world) simply does not possess. Offensively if there is a gap, it's not significant to say the least.
If we have to sell one and keep the other we'd be smarter to keep AWB based on their performances this season.

Dalot was pretty good before the world cup tbf. Most people were singing his praises on here and about how ETH had worked wonders with him.
Since the world cup though and the injury he got he's hasnt looked the same.
He's got some new moves going on. That shimmy had blue shirts going arseways all over the pitch. He's certainly trying. I really enjoyed him today.
I don't speak highly of AWB often, so deserves credit for his performance today.
Should be our first-choice RB. He's shown great improvement in his forward play, link ups, passing, control. He often shows skill on the ball, composure in getting out of tight spots. He's improved hugely. Not that you'd know it by reading some of the posts on here.
He lost his way for a while for sure, but he's done really well since he came back into the team. Still room for improvement, but he's back on the right track.

During the shooting practice before the game he absolutely lashed one into the top corner with his left for from outside the box.
I thought it was a sign of things to come...
Other then that... Very good game.

Playing really well at the moment, although also probably the last player I want to see with an open goal six yards out on his left foot! Right side of defence looks so solid when he plays there and he’s one touch passing and link up play is much improved.
Excellent form since the WC.
1-2 wayward passes aside, he was pretty much flawless.

I mean, he missed an open goal so that's not great, but otherwise pretty good.
Baffled by folks thinking he's good enough to start as RB for United though. Just not a good enough footballer. Some of his passing is criminal.

In a match where he misplaced 2 passes his passing is criminal. Makes sense
I thought AWB showed a bit of creativity in the final third apart from that horrendous miss
I love how dalot was first choice one day and AWB the next. It means there is a competition for place and they keep improving.
I thought he was excellent. His passing was mostly spot on, even in Evertons box.
Looking at the positives from the miss, yes he should have scored - but he showed excellent anticipation to get there - and that’s coming from our fullback that probably would have been afraid to be in the box last season

His integration to the system is still a work in progress, but everyone can see the development is very promising. We used him a lot more in space and movement during the attacking phase. Will look forward to more and also how Dalot boosts performance level.
He was good in the game but poster while exaggerating does have a point Wan Bissaka need to improve quality of his passing , the weight the placement of the passes is a big problem with him infact it's usually quite an issue with United in general though it has improved Under Ten Hag still a long way to go .
Bullshit.
Wan Bissaka’s passing to get out of tight spaces is amazing - one of the best in the squad.
His quick short passing he does it almost as a skill to get out of tight spaces.
Because he misplaced 2 passes (one in the 1st minute of the game) doesn’t change his ability to make a quick accurate short pass.
It’s things like his crossing that can improve more.
Turning point was City at home.
Way to miss the point completely .
Prime Thuram with a Bob Marley do.
So gangster.

Last season was a disaster, every single player played well below their level. The team was a shambles, there was a lack of coaching and cohesion and confidence was at rock bottom.
For one reason or another, some seemed to get away with it and/or had excuses made for them whilst others got absolutely torn apart, written off and blamed for everything.
Personally I call it the "Goldbridge effect". Basically the idea that our prominent social media fans (not just Goldbridge) have far too much influence and their opinions end up becoming mainstream.
AWB was unfortunately one of the players caught in the crosshairs. He may never be a world class attacking RB but he still has many great attributes and I guarantee every wide player in the PL would MUCH rather face Dalot (listen to Zaha's comments after the Palace game).
I am glad that his game has gone to new levels under ETH and that folk are finally seeing his value

Aye, some people think a pass is a good pass just because it gets to the player.
Totally ignoring the quality and weight of the pass, whether it's to the receivers correct foot and if they can control and pass it without too much trouble, DDG, Maguire, Fred, McT, AWB amongst other all seem to struggle with some of the basic principles of playing a good pass.
Too many times these guys, underhit or send passes behing payers to their wrong side. I'm not a big fan of Pep, but the way his players always pass the ball is ease and quick 1-2 touches is because they are all passing the ball properly to each other with well weighted, precise passes is why his system is so effective.
At Utd, Martinez for me is the standard setter here, zipped passes, precise into the back foot well weighted and easy to control. Need another 4 or 5 players in the team with that same quality to get up to the levels of the best teams.
Tell me, do you think those players have a few seconds to think “oh that’s player x making a run, I should pass it ahead of him onto his left foot”?
do they feck. They think he’s making a run I’ll try to hit it into a space that he can run on to
Of course they can.
Really good players can make those split second decisions to play good well weighthed passes to right side of the player regulary and do it right. A good example of how good these players are at it was yesterday when Maguire, McT and AWB had a bit of interchange down the right. It was like a comedy show. That's what we've been dealing with for the last few years.
I find it funny that people can look at someone like Martinez come into the team and ping good passes around with little fuss. While the rest of these guys who have been here years are either too slow at it (Maguire/McT) or feck it up and almost fall over when they try and do it quickly (AWB/Fred). Yet, you still have people thinking they can be good enough, when they've shown over and over again that they just lack the technical abiltiy to do so.
Like I said, we need 4/5 more players on the same technical level as Martinez in the team if this Utd side of going to be able to compete regularly at the very top again.
I don’t disagree that Martínez is a very good player but I disagree that you think that most players have time to think other than they need to put the ball into good space or good areas and trust their colleagues will make those runs
Honestly, football manager fans believing they know it all is when things started going left on this forum. Life is not like that, be humble and open to learning and changes of opinion....
looks like some fans didn’t see his reverse pass to Antony.
He deserves to start against Sevilla. He was really solid. Can't blame him for the miss. I think he didn't expect it and the ball bounced back with power so he couldnt really control it.
He's on a good trajectory at the moment. Fingers crossed.
