It's almost like they play in totally different positions and play totally different games. It's ALMOST like this is an absolutely meaningless comparison.
Wow that was fast
Ha, I didn't respond to your other attempt at anti Bruno wummery in his performance thread at least!Wow that was fast
Look Bruno was typical Ole days Bruno. Won us the game with an outstanding 10 minutes of brilliance, but he gave the ball away stupidly too much in the 1st half. He literally rolled the ball with the sole of his foot out of play at 1 stage. I'm just trying to show that Dalot wasn't half as bad as is being made out here. 86% possession isn't woeful considering Shaw was at 70% before he went off.
Bruno made a similar number of goofs but as you say he gets away with it because he did his main job beautifully. I don't remember Dalot getting destroyed by their left sided player either, unlike Munoz for Palace, so maybe, apart from the goofs he was OK.
He was dreadful.
Part of a defense that kept Palace to 0.38xg. He must have done something right. Fans need their punchbag, I suppose.
Ten minutes of brilliance is massively underselling him yesterday.
He was disguisting in that first half. So much so he was being mocked inside the stadium.
No Bruno mostly attempted high risk passes that didn't come off, very few of them were "goofs". Dalot repeatedly misplaced simple passes and caused multiple dangerous turnovers. There is absolutely no equivalence to their performances. Dalot is a liability, if we are not going to replace him then Maz should start when everyone is fit.
I remember the fans ridiculing Nani. A fantastic United player. I don't place much stock in the average football fan. The mob mentality forms so quickly.
You’re an average fan. You could be wrong in this instance
He's definitely wrong. There's plenty of evidence out there that if you have a large number with one opinion, versus one or two "experts" who have a different opinion, more often than not, the large number is correct.
Wrong about what? He was poor in possession overall but good out of possession. He was part of a good if not amazing defensive performance. What's wrong about that?
Nani was a fantastic United player, who had some amazing seasons for us before turning to utter garbage. Standards were also a lot higher back then - Dalot is not a top half PL footballer regardless. We need someone who is reliable and at the very least be able to execute the basics. Dalot has shown he consistently can not play a simple pass, carry the ball without mis-controlling it, or cross it without ballooning it out of play at the other sideline i.e. the basics for a PL right back. Yeah he's okay defensively and postionally but is that really the benchmark for a United right back?
The frustrating thing is he has a great engine, never gets injured and really does understand the positioning required. He gets into great positions. He just invariably screws up when he does. He's a fine squad player. He shouldn't be a first choice if we ultimately have title aspirations.
Had we kick Amorim to the curb sooner we could be battling for the title.
Dunno. Dalot was abysmal that first half last match.
