He really annoys me

He IS a bad player. Doesn’t do one thing right except staying injury free.He is not a bad player but surely everyone must get it by now that he is not a player that should be a starter for United.
Rubbish
But, still think he should be our penalty taker... He's too dumb to understand the concept of pressure. He's have spent that whole 5 minutes thinking about balloon animals.

He lives like Ronaldo. Complete model pro. Everything youd want from a footballer.Managers favourite that's utter shite. Will be a good day when he's sold/ran his contract out.
The more obvious conclusion would be to not play Dalot. At least not in a capacity that is expected to influence the game in an attacking sense. He is useless with that and thats not some new development, it has always been the case.He doesn't perform any better in a back 5 than he did in a back 4.
Just play a back 4.

No you are right. I think, starting with him makes sense but I'd call it bad preparation to not have a plan B ready. Dalot offers feck all going forward. As I said in the Mbeumo thread, I don't know whether it was instruction or not Mbeumo received so many balls in areas where I would expect Dalot to play in. I probably would have taken Dalot off, put Mbeumo out there and Mount in the 10 spot - for sure when we talk about subs. I've said it for years at this point - the clubs (and a lot of fans) shoots himself in the foot by overestimating the quality of Fullbacks like Dalot and to a degree Shaw and Maz as well. Those are great footballers but they don't carry a threat in 9 out of 10 games so either the manager has to come up with ideas to balance it out or we are playing with a disadvantage.Without Maz and Amad you kinda have to play him? unless I'm forgetting someone.
There must have been some sort of plan going on where Mbeumo took the wide area and Dalot underlapped into midfield. Don't think it worked of course but I don't think, this was pure coincidence.Not sure why he insisted on coming in and playing passes with his weak foot. He can barely pass properly with his strong foot.
