Hopefully with Mazraoui back he gets some time out of the firing line to recentre himself and find some form.

Mate, he needs to find a new club, not some form. What he is (not) doing is not just these past few games, he has done it under few managers now.

Picking a starter between him and Dorgu at the moment is like choosing a bloke to nix the wife. He has these drops in concentration where at the top level,those are exposed and punished.

He needs to go. I'm sorry.

 

[FlawlessVictory88]

There's not going to be some huge change in performances going forward, he's 26 not 19. This is supposed to be the prime of his career and he's just incredibly average at best, needs to be sold in the summer. Shows how far our standards have dropped when some fans think he has decent games doing the bare minimum.

 

[elmo]

He’s shit and one of the worst signings we’ve had.

Cost us more games than Onana too due to how many games he’s played.

 

[elmo]

There was a period where he was non-existent in defence and then, when we countered, he was non-existent in attack. Quite amusing.

That’s him in nearly every game.

 

[Tallis]

He looked like something was wrong with him. He looked gassed after 30 minutes and was jogging on occassions.

We really need to start Dorgu over him please.

 

[klayton88]

Proper water boy vibes.

 

[Red Stone]

Has the rare talent of managing to be in the way of his team mates and completely oblivious to any opposition threat at the same time. It's like 12v10 with him on the pitch.

 

[ScholesBrain]

it is the 100th time he is caught napping in dangerous situations. Just pause at 0:03 and we can see he is just ball watching.

and then he literally set up and assisted the opponent.

He needs to go in January

No comment on de Ligt and Yoro, our two centerbacks, lost that header to one Forest player?

Losing headers is an inevitable occurence, but "caught napping" is literally a "mistake" which is very avoidable? It is not even just this game, Dalot's concentration level is very low every game he plays.
which football rules tell us that two centerbacks challenging for a single header has higher chance of success?

Needs to be sold in January but haven't the guts

 

[ScholesBrain]

your fanatic attempts at defending him on this forum won't change the fact that Dalot is objectively our weak link and he needs and he will be shipped away soon.

this is not even a skill thing. his mentality has problems

Problem is he won't be shipped soon enough

 

[Pat_Mustard]

LWB is a huge weak spot in this team, regardless of who we play there.

Aye, it's by far our weakest position.

 

[New Balance Robbo]

Dalot shouldn’t be anywhere near our first 11. I suspect this time next season he won’t…

The left side is definitely needing some reinforcements

 

[Oranges038]

Been saying it for years about him, awful player, cannot read the game and there's not an ounce of defensive awareness there.

Can't wait to see the back of him.

 

[afatzp]

Dorgu has his flaws but I still can't understand why Dalot can start before him. Dalot shows ZERO merit over Dorgu. Both are weak on defense positioning, but Dalot is much weaker on power, strength, aggressiveness and stamina. Also Dorgu is only 21 and still has potential to develop. I have seen enough Dalot and know he already reached his ceiling.

After all, Dalot is never a LWB and I have never seen one good impressed game he played there. Every single time he produced mistakes and show weakness, it was only whether exposed by opponents or not. I just can't justify Amorim's decision on this.

 

[GreatDane]

Dalot, Dorgu and Maz are all much better suited to play as FBs, so if the club is truly committed to Amorim and his system then we desperatly need to update the LWB position.
Is hopeless to hope for even top 5-6 when we play the likes of Dalot there.

 

[croadyman]

Just leave him on bench until January

To be fair, I'd say Dalot is better on the ball and helps the team keep possession a lot more than Dorgu does. Dorgu is really prone to making simple mistakes like misplacing a pass or failing to control the ball. Dalot does this to a much lower degree.

[stevoc]

Is there a centreback anywhere who wins every header in every game?

That's inevitable and forgivable, Dalot ball watching is not.

 

[flameinthesun]

Is a good backup fullback, is also better than Dorgu.

 

[LARulz]

I'm not sure what that is meant to show though, usually in an attacking corner people are out of position and certain people are on the edge of the box to help keep the ball there or stop a counter. Dalot I didn't see clearly in that clip so assume he is either in the box or the other side of the pitch

But overall he is a good squad player, nothing more than that. This either means Dorgu really needs to step up or we get someone else in January

I'm not sure this is true.

Dalot has misplaced many easy passes since last season, and this season has been no improvement—the evidence is clear.

To make matters worse, he often plays it safe with sideways or backward passes, yet his pass accuracy is only 80% this season—at par with Dorgu's 78%.

Another problem: Dalot tends to plays "hospital balls" to teammates already under pressure, putting them in trouble. These are still counted as successful passes and he rarely dribbles out of pressing to relieve it responsibly. I see similar flaws in Luke Shaw as well.

Dorgu shows much less of this tendency (which is why he's often dispossessed after failed dribbles).

So on passing I would say Dalot is at par with Dorgu.

 

[ExistingNow]

He's an overpromoted squad player. See Lingard in the past.

 

[Isotope]

It's not just "a", but TWO of our main centerbacks couldn't mark a single player for a cross. And that cross wasn't that special either. That is, imho, equally unforgivable.

 

[lex talionis]

Hopefully it’s nothing more than a bad run of form and not his new level, but Dalot has been horrendous this season.

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

Hopefully it’s nothing more than a bad run of form and not his new level, but Dalot has been horrendous this season.

It’s already past the ‘bad run of form’ stage, he’s been at this level his entire United career except one season were he raised it enough he actually looked decent.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

At this point his biggest skill is the fact he’s been media trained to a pretty high standard.

I’ve never known a player to ball watch as much as Dalot. The second goal yesterday was entirely his fault imo.

 

[elmo]

Is a good backup fullback, is also better than Dorgu.

Dorgu has upside, he still can improve. Dalot can only feck things up.

 

[Remember the geese]

We don't need fullbacks. We need wing-backs. Also, he isn't better than Dorgu.

Dalot loses the ball in far more dangerous positions though. The only good thing about Dalot is that he does throw in far better than Dorgu.

Every game we play with Dalot, we’re practically playing 12 vs 10. He has cost us more games than Onana has just from the sheer number of games he’s played for us.

 

[JBG]

This keeps being said in here and yet people forget or ignore it. So funny to me.

He's utter shite, get him gone from this team

Nah, sometimes the attacker just out jumps you. It happens, I've seen it happen to Vidic and Stam never mind Lenny Yoro.

Dalot's been ball watching and sleep walking through games for going on 8 years.

Dalot causes us many problems, but literally two games ago Dorgu instigated a situation that almost cost us a win while we were 3-0 up. Of course a lot of stuff happened after his mistake, including refereeing mistakes, but it was his awful pass that started it all.

I have a feeling we just remember more Dalot mistakes, because he has a lot more games for us and is starting currently. Both are bad, and I'm not at all certain that we would be better with Dorgu starting.

Yet still he is here stinking up the place, no wonder this team is so prone to lapses of concentration with him around. Just have some balls Ruben and drop your Portuguese lovechild permanently

It's two centerbacks. Not just Yoro. But Yoro plus de Ligt. Instead of arguing back and forth, here's a clip of the goal. Two of our main centerbacks couldn't deal with a single player for a standard cross.

And now you start with 8 years nonsense, and showing your lack of objectivity. Dalot was pretty good against Liverpool, and it's only a few games ago.
