I like his newly discovered long throw. That's about it.

In the latest edition of the United Hour Podcast, Imran (@Annihilate Now!) & Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to discuss disappointed FA Cup exit at the hands of Brighton - confirming our shortest season in over 100 years. They also discuss the news that Michael Carrick is set to be United's manager until the end of the season.
Not a chance
At least he can now throw the ball as far as he thinks he can throw the ball
Will never understand benching Dorgu for him, makes no sense to me.
Got really lucky early on, the offside cross that was put wide, was completely asleep.

A regular theme with Utd's transfers for the last 10 years.
Neither was ever good enough for Utd.
He has over 200
Think he was actively trying to sabotage us today. All started from that first one where he just watched that guy run across him. Needs to be moved on. We’ve moved on arguably better players already. Would rather give Leon a run out than watch Dalot at LWB.
Years of him giving it the beans but failing to reach the box
18 seconds after the game started, ball drops on him from above, uncontested, and his poor touch takes the ball 4 meters away from him, and gives the oposition a throw in.
2 minutes later, he falls asleep and allows the runner behind him to come in front, and almost score. WTF?
Ball comes on the second post, and a good touch would've allowed him to assist or take a shot. He make such a bad touch that ball almost runs out of play.
How can you be this bad at the freaking basics, and still be a starter. Imagine having capable LWB paired with Mount.

His biggest attribute is he makes Dorgu look like an accomplished footballer.
Bar that good half a season under Ten Hag in 2024 he's been such an average player for us. There has been so many perfromancs like today, just meh.

Which game where Dorgu isn't giving a "meh" performance also? Those pre-seasons?
I bet if we make both available for sale at similar price, Dalot would have higher demand than Dorgu.
Loved how he checked the player behind him and then looked shocked when he saw a player running in front of him only to miss the ball in front of an open goal. He absolutely needs binning.
I know people said he can play either side but in either side he looks like hes being shoehorned into the role. None looks to be his natural position. Both equally shit.
We've got to screen better to get/keep players with better footballing IQ than what Dalot has shown throughout his time here.
His biggest problem is his lack of concentration, which can never be fixed
- his miscontrol without pressure in first 20 seconds
- him failing to control a cross at the backpost at 1:18
- his many defensive errors in his career
all down to him lacking concentration and not turned on
he (along with shaw) needs to be moved on at the end of the season

I’m just wondering if Malacia coming back means it’ll be Dorgu and Malacia to compete for LWB and then it’ll be Amad first choice for RWB with Mazraoui. Dalot essentially would be 3rd choice for both
How much more shyt must he be to be benched?
His lack of concentration is astounding.He has cost Team at least three goals this season. One against Fulham, two against Brentford.

He’s got no business playing as a wingback on the right but on the left he is awful.
Dalot is the sort of player other teams would look at this stage of his career, see they could make a PSR profit and move him on.
He’ll probably play for us for another 5 years at least because he had one good season and is viewed as someone can cover multiple positions.

Whatever you think of Dalot, Dorgu is not a better player.
I'm no great admirer of Dorgu either. So far he's looked like an average player to me. But Dalot is slightly less than average and has been for the majority of his time here.
Maybe, maybe not.
You can rate them both however you want but Dalot is a distinctly below average footballer. No matter which way you shake it.
He isn't good defensively and he's rubbish going forward, which was a bad enough combination for a fullback. Yet now he's playing at wingback.
They both are
A distinctly below average footballer.....right. He's clearly not. Does he go through bad patches, yes as do all our players. He's easily the best attacking fullback we have. Defensively he's always been aright at best, although has improved as he matured.
He had a few poor moments yesterday. But despite a "poor" game, he still looked better than having Dorgu out there.
In EtH first season, if I recall correctly, he we quite good, and in EtH second season, was the best player overall that season, he wasnt great particularly but was bit more steady and solid compared to everyone else that season.
Last season and this season, it seems he has suddenly regressed instead of getting better, and yesterday he was just extremely bad especially going forward, luckily for him, Shaw was very solid behind him and Mount was good in his defensive contribution and Sunderland were poor going forward, which meant him being poor defensively didn't cause us any issues.

Was no surprise it was him and Shaw watching on as the Sunderland player missed that early chance.
But Dalot slightly lower. The fact he's been here for the best part of a decade and first choice for a lot of it, tells you everything about why we've been struggling so much.
I'd defend him more than most but he was shite yesterday.
His first touch of the game was a mis control out of play. Then he fell asleep at the back post. Had another shite touch in the build-up to Brunos top corner effort. Had a horrible clearance in the box that went straight to a Sunderland player. Made a wrong choice to shoot with his left foot. Passed the ball inexplicably to a Sunderland player around the centre circle.
Just full of below quality moments. Has become our Rory Delap though and it is causing a bit of trouble.

No chance, Shaw can at least cross a decent ball more than twice a season. Describing him as an attacking fullback at all, is generous to say the least.
That's a bit like saying getting punched in the balls is better than getting kicked in the balls. I mean fair enough, it might be but ideally you'd rather not have to deal with either.
They're both average, Dorgu being left footed is a plus at LWB I suppose. Dalot offers nothing wherever he plays. Dorgu is young and might still develop into a decent player, which is why I won't be too harsh on him. Dalot never will, he's been average for 90% of the time he's been here.
Totally agree, he's not a bad player but never 100% switched on. The casual ball miscontrol annoys me the most.
He's done well that one season as a FB and had high hopes for him but he's woeful as WB, pretty much hampering our chances to score anytime he gets into promising situation. It's really frustrating. We can only hope we will have a budget for WB soon after cashing out the money for CM.
As if that means anything at all. He carries more or less no attacking threat at all - seeing a sentence where he is labeled "attacking fullback" is already a farce. The guy is a good athlete and seems to have a great professional behaviour but he shouldn't be considered a good or very good player but an average player who is capable of playing well here and there. And me saying "is" feels very generous considering that the last period he was good on a somewhat regular basis is years in the past at this point. (And came during a time where ETH didn't use him to provide width in attack since he played his wingers so wide)
I said it even back then when there was so much talk in here about him coming good... another instance of parts of the United fanbase desperate to put a worldclass label somewhere. Be it Garnacho, Mainoo, Amad. Crazy to consider that some did it for Dalot as well. For our current state, he is a somewhat reliable performer and we have bigger fish to fry but boy do we have to upgrade on him when the centre of pitch is fixed.
I have zero time for Dalot. But its debatable hes slightly lower than Dorgu. Dorgu has time on his side at least. They are both poor footballers from what I have seen. Dorgu is poor technically whilst Dalot is brain dead even if he has better technical ability
Yes, I'd really like to see neither play whenever possible. They're poor players, and also irrevocably scarred from the years of losing.
Fair enough, Patrick being so young is the reason I don't want to be too harsh on him, I haven't been impressed but he's a kid adapting to a new country and league.
But I've seen enough of Diogo, 7+ years with virtually no progression. He's as brain dead and inneffective as he's ever been.
They both are below average as wingback, for me. Average means that they're good enough for mid-level teams. But both are more on relegation fodders level. As wingback.
EDIT: agreed that given the choice, we'd need to retain Dorgu, though.
Long throw-ins is the hottest tactical gimmick so i'm sure he'll be a guaranteed starter for a few seasons yet
He's off form, or maybe has regressed, and was lucky that the Sunderland player who got in front of him at the start missed the tap in. Amorim needs to train someone else to take the long throws for when Dalot is not on the field.
Yeah you might be right there.
Still prefer him out there starting games over Dorgu, Dorgu to come in at the 60-65 min mark in that LWB position.
He played a poor pass (to Cunha?) against Brentford who scored on the counter. Our poor WBs is one of the reasons I can't see us finishing top 5.
He is so so so crap
