[Vault Dweller]

He's absolutely mint.

 

[Bestie07]

I didn't want us to sign him but boy was I wrong. I shudder to think of the universe where we still had AWB and Maz was tearing it up for West Ham.

I didn't go as far as you, but I was an AWB apologist. He's a level or two above AWB technically and is more consistent as a passer as a result. I don't remember seeing anything noteworthy in the attacking third from him. Defensively, solid enough I guess.

I think AWB got unreasonable amounts of bashing over his abilities with the ball in the early build up, but to me the biggest difference I see with Mazraoui is his ability to interact with players like Amad, Bruno, Mainoo, Garnacho in the attacking part of the pitch.

 

[DJ Jeff]

He's been really good, just hope his past injury problems stay in the past. Night and day on the ball between him and AWB. I think Jones said the last day that he thinks Dalot will still be first choice RB, I don't see that at all.

 

[BayernFan87]

What a player we’ve finally rinsed Bayern

As i said before he is a very complete full back and if it wasn't for his injuries i'd argue that he is one of the best around.

But we made the big brain move to buy the inferior Sasha Boey for 30 millions last year that seems to be even more injury prone...

 

[AjaxCunian]

He should be a DM. Fabinho vibes

Has played there before, a lot of Ajax fans didnt love it. But they didnt rate him until a long time either.

Think he's very good in midfield as well.

 

[GoodTimes]

Same universe that had them signing Kudus and us being lumbered with Antony.

 

[The Corinthian]

Class

 

[Solius]

Best of a bad bunch, in that he seemed unaffected by the turds around him.

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Our best player again.

 

[Martial'sEmergingSmile]

Signing intelligent, high-technique players might just work.

 

[Someone]

Love him. Our best signing this summer.

 

[Ludens the Red]

At least he’s good. Seems to have smartened up defensively after that strange Liverpool game.

 

[A-man]

Some weird decisions at times but overall a good game.

 

[sugar_kane]

It felt last night like he was playing Twente by himself at times.

If he can stay fit he will be our best signing in years.

 

[MadDogg]

Our two fullbacks seemed the most likely to create something in this match. Not necessarily get the assist themselves, but the ones who would create the space and pass the ball to someone in a dangerous position who could then (but never did) get the assist.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Another good game. He's so assured on the ball.

 

[AjaxCunian]

Not sure how you can watch him, and decide that Bruno or Rashford are better players than him. They rarely play a good match, let alone good matches consecutively. De Ligt, Dalot, Mazraoui seem like our best players. Closely followed by Martinez, Zirkzee and Mainoo.

 

[pascell]

Only one who performed to their usual standard.

 

[Bobski]

Werner gave him a bit of a chasing 1 v 1 I thought, thankfully couldn't finish but it was a tough day for him.

 

[Escobar]

Only one who performed to their usual standard.

Huge difference to Dalot

 

[The Mitcher]

Got rinsed by Werner and the kid they brought on, throughout the game.

 

[CannibalSpectre]

Maz appears more comfortable on the ball but AWB is the superior defender

 

[Scandi Red]

Our only consistent outfield player this season (maybe a bit harsh on Amad).

He hasn't been infected by the United decease. Yet.

Exactly. He probably will at some point though unfortunately.

 

[pratyush_utd]

He was decent but i am not convinced on his defending. Was getting constantly turned over by Werner. Was lucky that Werner is shit in front of the goal

 

[Bwuk]

Dalot is a better RB than Mazraoui imo.

 

[statpadder]

We were down to 10 and he was all alone there. There was so much space and he was continuously running the entire length of the pitch back and forth - thanks to us treating the ball like a bomb. I’m happy he came out of that game without an injury.

Would love to see his distance covered though.

 

[Ekeke]

Struggled even when we had 11 men against Werner and Udogie who his booking came against. A low bar to fail to clear, Spurs stand in for Son

Still had our most tackles, so certainly not everytime he was taken on was he beaten but it was mostly just those 2 players on the left having lots of success against the United right side while they overloaded the right side with 3s and 4s linking up with passing moves.

There was also the Van De Ven run to set up the initial goal but that was more a De Ligt issue than Mazraoui because Van De Ven had a player to his left he could have passed to if Mazraoui had gone narrow to stop Van De Ven.

Edit - Spence comes on in the second half, so Spurs entire left wing is backup players at this point. He goes past Mazraoui 2 times before the 53 minute mark. So again a heavy workload for our fullback and he makes 5 tackles which is a lot, and yet he's rinced 4 or 5 times as well. He did get some support from Garnacho but hes obviously not the best defensively and not as good as Udogie is going forward and adding to the attack, or by the looks of this 45 mins Spence who was also a threat

 

[McFred]

Dalot is a better RB than Mazraoui imo.

Never. Dalot belongs in the category of players that should be nowhere near a truly proper Utd team.

 

[Lennon7]

Never. Dalot belongs in the category of players that should be nowhere near a truly proper Utd team.

This is harsh, I think Dalot is a solid player throughout the shit storm we’ve come across over the last 2 years. Think he’d excel if we can get our shit together

 

[Rams]

Been our best outfield player this season, or at least most consistent, but that doesn’t mean much unfortunately. I feel a bit sorry for him because he wouldn’t look out of place in teams like City or Madrid.

 

[Cassidy]

This is harsh, I think Dalot is a solid player throughout the shit storm we’ve come across over the last 2 years. Think he’d excel if we can get our shit together

Its not harsh. You’re standards are just low
We get our shit together he along with Bruno would stick out like a sort thumb

 

[Vidooq]

Look at him. It's minute 4. The game has just started. And you can't even put in the effort. The problem is, we don't have a replacement so that we can bench him. Why the feck are you raising your hand? He had 50 meters to figure out that his player was in front of him. To top it off, he even slows down towards the end. If this was my teammate, in a small 5-a-side game, I would feel the urge to kick him after pulling some shit like this.

Just painful to watch when the other players want it more. Ignore the text in the tweets, it's just to show Dalot "effort".

 

[ayushreddevil9]

Its not harsh. You’re standards are just low

For once I agree with you. Standing out amongst this group is still bang average. I still cant understand what this player was thinking letting opponent RW get to the back post. It was within first 5 minutes. No concentration whatsoever

 

[Matt Varnish]

He was decent but i am not convinced on his defending. Was getting constantly turned over by Werner. Was lucky that Werner is shit in front of the goal

He either gave Werner a yard or was too slow to make it up, couldn't make my mind up which, he seemed to get caught out by the pace.
Time will tell.

 

[Matt Varnish]

Never. Dalot belongs in the category of players that should be nowhere near a truly proper Utd team.

Behave, Dalot has been our best defender on many occasions, better than AWB, and a lot better than this guy who got rinsed by a DM and a stand in winger or two

 

[tomaldinho1]

This is harsh, I think Dalot is a solid player throughout the shit storm we’ve come across over the last 2 years. Think he’d excel if we can get our shit together

His issue has always been defensive. He has a decent game defensively now and then and people will say things like ‘he’s sorted it out’ but then he does that kind of thing against Spurs. There’s no coach in professional football that will be coaching him to mark a player, I think that’s just a given when you reach about 7 or 8 years old. What I don’t get is he is tracking him initially but he just stops, like he can’t anticipate a cross.

I ddn't understanad that either, very untypical of him, maybe he thought the centrla defenders would cope, I don't know, strange reaction.
He certainly isn't as good on the left as he is on the right.
