He's been largely very good in games, consistent, energetic, intelligent, an attacking threat, defensively sound. He's rash, he makes mistakes, can be poor positionally at times, but this is normal for someone who's played about 3 months of top level football and you have to allow for that.
I just sense that you're trying to downplay him, downgrade him, exaggerate how poor some of his performances have been in order to justify you're not "jumping on this bandwagon. "
For some reason .. this actually cracked me up
Why would I need to justify not jumping on a bandwagon? He’s been energetic, not sure he’s been consistent, or intelligent as for me that would mean he has good positioning which is quite questionable. Attacking threat, I mean it’s not something that is outstanding and when it’s noticeable he’s had a big attacking influence is when he has gone so far out of position that he has had Rashford have to cover him.
Some of his performances have been very poor, some of the, have been very good. Personally like I said I think people are overplaying how much of a talent or prospect he is currently.
Is he good yes, is he some sort of fullback sensation, no, not from what I’ve seen.can he improve he’s a lot. Let’s just see what the kid has over the next year or two And enjoy it.
He is good? You've just largely played him down to be playing poorly.
I think he's one of the best emerging talents in the PL this season in his agegroup along with maybe Curtis Jones and Mason Greenwood.
It's quite normal for players to fill in for each other when instructed to go forward from deep. Liverpool do it with Trent and Robertson yet you're criticising?
I'm in complete agreement that he's got lots to improve on, but you can normally tell when a player is destined to make it at the top level and when they're not.
Glad you could at least appreciate the humour in it as opposed to the officer who has thrown two charges at me.
In all seriousness, this is give and take. I didn’t come in here telling everyone about themselves. I made a comment, which I’m entitled to do, which was that a player is not good enough. After that, it was explained to me by a number of posters that I was not entitled to think such, and also explained the psychology of how I arrived at that conclusion (knee-Jerk, confirmation bias, simply trying to be cleverer than everyone else etc). Everything other than being able to watch a football player and make an assessment. I’m entitled to offer a defence to that.
Man Utd 2:0 Man City
Hugely relieved seeing him taken off after Mahrez was having fun at our left flank
We were also fortunate that the goal didn't stand where he nearly played Aguero onside by a few centimeters

Mahrez was absolutely skinning him. Luckily Shaw got moved to LB.
Had Foden in his pocket. Tired loads by the time Mahrez came on though, so was a smart change. Still a very good performance for such a young kid in a huge game.
He was decent until later on. He’s definitely making strides.
It's almost unfair to play both him and Shaw together, but Ole has found a way to do it. They looked like little delinquents when they linked up on the left flank, always up to something and unsettling the City defence.
Yeah, I thought he was doing well defensively but gave it away easily too much when on the ball. He was knackered by the time Mahrez got at him.
He's got potential and I'm happy enough not buying a leftback while we wait to see how he develops.
He had a solid game, and then Pep changed it brilliantly bringing Mahrez on RW.
Excellent breakthrough season. He’s learning every week.

Don’t think he suits playing as a wingback.
Was very good in the first half I think. Mahrez slapped him about in the second half though.
Did well. Looked tired and out of sorts against Mahrez. Glad Ole took him off.
He was very good for most of the game, but was struggling to deal with Mahrez, not surprising as Mahrez is too good.
Ole did well to take him off and play Shaw there.

Looked like he got tired later on.
Still very good though.
Mahrez was toying with him though.

He is learning. That's good.
His positioning needs a lot of work especially trapping offsides. Not the first time, I remember about 3 of them in different games which gave us a lot of troubles.

That's why Pep put Mahrez on. He was fresh and Williams tired.
So Ole changed it too
Game of chess between the managers.
Started well, until Mahrez came on and toyed with him.
His positioning is still suspect, he has a habit of not holding the line and being too far back. It almost resulted in a goal. I'm a big fan of him and he has a big future, but his concentration seems to slip in those moments.

Lets not act as if getting beaten by Mahrez is suddenly the end of his United career as a leftback or left wingback. This is a kid with only a dozen PL appearances vs a POTY and the driving force behind Leicesters shock title win.
Had several really good moments and several awful moments that fortunately, we survived. Not sure Williams quite realised how vulnerable our CBs are, due to their lack of pace, if he let Mahrez cross early, as happened for Sterling's big chance that was slightly too far ahead for him to get a good contact. Aguero's fractionally offside goal was another careless moment from Brandon. Getting the offside trap right has been one of his big weaknesses this season.
Super cross that Fernandes headed wide and good pass for a Martial shot that was blocked. Good defending beyond the far post early on in the match.

I don’t think anyone is...
You could put Mahrez up against the greatest fullbacks there has ever been and by the end of that game that fullback will know they’ve been in a game. No shame in getting roasted by Mahrez at all.
What is more concerning for me was early in the game where I think it’s Aguero he just lets him run and he has to put a sprint on to try and catch up and he lumps a ball cause he was sloppy.
However seconds after that, compete opposite tracks Aguero in brilliantly and gets a head on it.
Hes very hit and miss but it’s to be expected.

Love the lad's commitment and there's definately a player in there. Not sure though if left back's his best position.
Tired towards the end.. But a very very good game from him.
Great commitment and happy he is here instead of Young. Should be rotated in for the 'easier' games. Seems to have forced Shaw to up his game which is a huge bonus.
He played really well in the 1st half and kept Foden very quiet. Began to tire in the 2nd half which Pep noticed and decided to bring Mahrez on who was starting to roast him until Ole rightly took him off.
Overall, he had a good game.

Another good performance, he's maturing into a very good LB in my opinion.
Reminds me of Phil Neville. Hard as nails, full of passion, proper United character but ultimately looks a bit awkward on the left.
Gotta say, I love this kid! Mahrez may have gotten the better of him a couple of times, but that doesn't matter too much. He plays with a passion, determination and confidence that makes me certain that he will be in the squad for a long time.
The emergence of Williams and Greenwood, as well as the further development of McT and Rashford may be one of the most positive things about this season. It's great to see academy kids in the team every week!

I think he started very well (in general, this season) but has trailed off a bit which is to be expected. Luckily for us, Shaw has improved lately so a LB is no longer a priority for next season as Williams is an able deputy and still learning but one of the learning crop that we can rely on to play 90mins when needed.
Still not a single minute played on the right......For a young lad that is heavily reliant on his right foot. It quite frankly baffles me.
Surely it makes sense to at least see what he can do on the right side? Maybe this Thursday we give AWB a rest and let Brandon play, either at RB if we're in a 4 or at wing-back if we decide to be more defensive away from home.
I trust Brandon to bring more than Dalot, both defensively and offensively.

He uses his left foot very well.
I'd say its passable. But unless I'm blind, he still mostly traps and passes the ball with his right the majority of the time. I think this makes him more inclined to go backwards, instead of possibly pushing forward.
I have no complaints with him and actually admire how well he has done, considering he is playing on his weaker side!
I would just like to see it, even if its just one game!
It's not just passable, he is very good with his left foot. Not obviously as good as Greenwood at using both feet but Brandon Williams uses both feet well.
Yeah he should get chances as RB too, will be interesting to see how he plays there.
LASK 0:5 Man Utd
Think he was defensively poor today.
Yes. Not his best day. Thought both him and Shaw seemed off their game, one trying too hard and the other not trying hard enough.
