Awful performance, could have cost us a couple more goals.
I would've posted the same reaction to his performance had we drawn 1-1. His touch and his passing, in the second half especially, was atrocious.Not at all, Dalot was one of the better players today, people are just overreacting like always. The second goal was 90% Diallo's fault for losing his man.
Was probably our best outfield player in the first half alongside Garnacho. Second half was doing alright until the last 20 mins where he played some poor passes or had some poor touches. As for the goal, I thought he could have done a bit better but I'm not surprised he was a bit half hearted. He's our Kyle Walker constantly bailing our midfield/backline with high intensity last man sprints covering the counter threat and then also our only right wing penetration as well as being one of two midfielders, who can actually control a ball under pressure.Judging from the comments i take it the bad Dalot turned up today?
I thought he was decent (nothing more, nothing less) for most of the game. Was poor for the final 10-20 minutes though.Judging from the comments i take it the bad Dalot turned up today?
Wasn't worse than the rest of the team. Simple reminder that his peaks may as well be outliers even though some of his fans think they are the new normalJudging from the comments i take it the bad Dalot turned up today?
Or it could be one of our best outfield players this season had a below par game, in once again an extremely poorly coached team where he has about 3-4 different roles (see my previous post), which I would argue no else comes close to performing comparatively speaking in the team?Wasn't worse than the rest of the team.

Mate, I tried to be as balanced in my post as possible. No issue with the bolded part, I just doubt that it means anything at all. Performances and results are well below the expectations. Being the best of a subpar bunch, I agree, it is something. But it isn't something, that should be put too much meaning on. I haven't posted in here because there was nothing to note. He was alright. Had a few good scenes a few bad ones. This is what I say in this thread from the beginning.Or it could be one of our best outfield players this season had a below par game, in once again an extremely poorly coached team where he has about 3-4 different roles (see my previous post), which I would argue no else comes close to performing comparatively speaking in the team?
You've not posted in here the past two weeks and straight after a loss, you're here to 'contextualise' his form. I know we have a reasonable back and forth with your rating of Dalot but at this point, you really should caveat every single post of yours in this thread with 'I do not rate Dalot'. You've already said as much tbh!
That's fine, not my intention. The whole 'best of a subpar bunch' criticism is valid in isolation and make senses considering the many false dawns of our players in the past 10 years but perhaps a bit too easy of a blanket cover to use to evaluate the performances. I think we're never going to agree that I think he does have 'world class' (I'll use this because you have but again it's bit much) potential and is performing in spite of this shower of shit. Let's leave it at that.Mate, I tried to be as balanced in my post as possible. No issue with the bolded part, I just doubt that it means anything at all.

Lets face it, it wasn't like he was the sole shining light out there today in a sea of sorrow. All it was, was a slightly below average performance. I don't think, he was much worse than in any of the prior weeks. That is why I have my standpoint - I do not see the world class potential. If you do, that is good. We can talk about it but don't go into my supposed posting behaviour. It feels like you are setting yourself up for some "agenda" attack against me and that isn't of any use for anybody. There is no need to get defensive - I haven't attacked him.
I agree. Just for the record, I don't want to come across as overly unfair and I also already admitted to have some bias towards him. It really doesn't help that players I have been suspicious about in the last years, namely Bruno, Rashford and Shaw show stuff this season, that make me feel right on them...That's fine, not my intention.

It's fine, I get it. We all have PTSD watching Utd over the years and we all each manifest that in many different ways. Some call every player shit, some deride the manager when we don't challenge the title after one season, some give a massive leash to the manager or players because if we don't, the alternative is just basically becoming bitter about our performance, which again is totally warranted. Heck some even in this same thread think Dalot is the Lindelof equivalent at right back and/or rate AWB higher.I agree.

I think, Dalots physical attributes have improved a lot from last to this season. This is definitely something, that is already a strength of his and I think, it will be become a significant strength in a short time. I also think that his technical level is really good. Definitely sufficient to play Manchester United rightback. Currently, I have some issues with his decision making which is something, that certainly can improve with more experience. So the basics for him to become a really good player are there, don't want to take that away from him. What I miss is the spark. The spark that players like Alba, Cancelo or Davies have. I would want all Manchester United players to have that but obviously, this is big ask and I know that. I certainly don't consider him an urgent point on the sporting directors list and with Shaws trajectory, Dalot is probably more safe than him. But in my view we really need an attacking weapon on the fullback position. I actually don't care whether left or right.
He's had a far better season than AwB who hasn't put any form together and has been injured a fair bit it seems. The first half of last season Dalot played better than AwB too.Is Bissaka injured or something, why is this guy regularly starting over him?
People saying he is getting harsh criticism is maybe fair, people saying he has bene one of our better players I disagree with. He is average defensively and overall average going forward, at least Bissaka is a very good player in most aspects defensively. We really should be looking at signing an excitign attackig right back this summer as DAlot people keep callign one, he isnt, he is to right back what Lindelof is to centre back, very average
Disagree, think Bissaka was looking good this season and improving going forward. For me both have weaknesses and are not good enough to be the regular first choice right back. The reason I would keep Bissaka as bar his positioning he is very good defensively, one of the best one v one defenders, so he serves a purpose.He's had a far better season than AwB who hasn't put any form together and has been injured a fair bit it seems. The first half of last season Dalot played better than AwB too.
Edit- just looked it up and AwB has only made 17 appearances this season according to the player performance thread. Didn't think it was that low.
Agree. It's like he's got difficult controlling himself when he's fatigued. He was overhitting more and more passes and taking heavy touches in the last 15-20 minutes.I think he had a fairly good game including his shot off the post until the final 15 or so minutes where he made some poor choices and errors. In that last period he was a problem and his defending on the winning goal wasnt good enough. Let himself down
Yep, not our biggest problem by a long shot.Not his best game but feel he is one of the only players who puts a solid shift in, usually being consistently good.
He starts because he is just far better than AWB, even defensively. He has improved a lot and now is arguably one of the better RB in the league. AWB is not even in the top 5 English RB.Is Bissaka injured or something, why is this guy regularly starting over him?

He's certainly mine, he's come on massively this season.Probably been our best player this season.
