He's a country mile ahead of Dalot at the moment
Now let's hope he improves his passing and we have a true competition at RB.
Want to place a friendly wager that Dalot will play more minutes than AWB when both are fit?
Let's wait for actual season to begin before gloating .
Let’s see, there’s plenty time for me to be both right or wrong.
Sure!
"Is now officially, without a doubt, indubitably ahead of Dalot", Every bump for the past 6 months.
If he had his side under control then perhaps Martinelli wouldn't have had chances..Let’s see, there’s plenty time for me to be both right or wrong.
Some fans can only appreciate an attacking fullback that puts fan visibility enduring crosses - what Wan Bissaka brings by making a whole Side of the pitch near negligible to an opposition is just very underrated among certain fans to both a team and a manager.
He nearly provides everything of both a defensive full back & an attacking fullback except the final delivery of an accurate cross/shot &/or occasionally getting beat further up the pitch where he doesn’t rush to make up for the loss.
Other than that I have seen him improve/be good in : his dribbling, his progressive passes being Paced and either straight or further from feet, his skill, his ability to beat himself outside tight areas, ball retention, his back of the post defending (was very weak at this), his defensive heading, consistent amazing goal line clearing body blocks whilst already being the world’s best unquestionable 1v1 defender.
I’ve seen enough world class performances against world class players where the world class attacker could have all day and wouldn’t get past Wan Bissaka that month - Mbappe, Mane, Grealish, Mitoma, Neymar and many more.
I rate Dalot though and what he brings to the team- which is different to AWB and that is why dalot is useful to Manchester United.
Sure!
I like AWB but Dalot is better for our way of playing in my opinion, and from what I've seen and know about our manager, he will go for Dalot when fit.
Dalot's form has never recovered since his World Cup injury.
For this season I think it's more likely that they'll rotate quite a bit rather than either being consistently favoured when fit.
I’d fully agree with this. Some people talk like the attributes he has been displaying recently have come out of no where, or are all the work of Ten. While I agree that his level of performance has improved that’s more to do with as you say, confidence. That’s where the manger has had the biggest affect. This squad was classed as terrible by most at the start of last season but most have shown that’s not true.
Come to think neither are great but also think ETH has a selection preference for his style. If AWB wasn't allowed to take the role after Dalot's second half of the season, it's clear where that preference leans, especially the way they renewed him first thing in the transfer window.
I think AWB played in the second half mostly due to Dalot's injury and not being fully fit.
He's definitely improved there but it's not like his competition is any better about that either...
Good tackle, but then gave it away.
