Had a few chances to put the ball in but there was no one in the box. Hojlund was miles away from it.

He actually crossed very well for Højlund at one point, but he fluffed the header, and I think he also had 1-2 decent low crosses.

But for the most part there was a severe lack of quality in what he did. A big part of the reason for Denmark losing was that they were not more dangerous from wide areas. Generally they worked the ball well to Dorgu and Isaksen in particular, but not much ever came of it.

Should not be our starting wingback. Young and inconsistent. He did some good yesterday but also some bad plays. Still cannot believe we got rid of Alvaro.

Agree.

He's not good enough for the Premier League at this point. He needs to be replaced and either loaned out or sold.

We've done a lot better with our recruitment recently but sadly he's been a big miss.

Really just shows the limitation of 5 minute compilations. Of course he has had some good moments, but the overall impression is that of a player not (yet) good enough to play as a starter for a club with our ambitions.

I'd disagree. The alternative is Dalot and he hasn't progressed for years. If we buy another one, yes then he should probably be eased in more and not start.

Played really well against Scotland. Was in the thick of it, as he can be and scored a goal which at the time send Denmark through. He clearly is progressing, but he wont if he's not played regularly.

For me, now is the time to play him regularly and maybe sub him off when he doesn't perform, as the alternative in Dalot is not better. Dorgu's ceiling and potential seems higher than Dalot's.
 
He still seems just as naive and lackadaisical defensively as when he joined to me. And then almost as indecisive in the final third. He's a better option than Dalot purely due to Dalot being completely sub par as a wing-back.

There is a big difference between thinking he should start over Dalot (I go back and forth), and thinking he is currently good enough for a club that wants to get back to Champions League football. Obviously he is not, at this moment.

And he didn't play "really well" against Scotland. Not awful either. He wasted a ton of opportunities to make something happen from wide areas with his poor delivery. It was an average performance at best.

He scored what was a decisive goal at the time that send Denmark to the World cup. Clean finish, under pressure at the most vital time of the match so far. Delivered some good crosses, positioned himself well, was very involved.

Come on, cut the guy some slack, you seem biased.

He did some good things, but also a lot of bad things. With Scotland pushed back for large parts of the game, it was on him and Isaksen in particular to create something dangerous from the wings, and I just think he wasted too many opportunities.

For what it's worth you can also look at the grades he's been given by commentators. Morten Bruun for TV2 gave him 4/10 (labelled "Acceptable" in that scale), and DR gave him 7 on the 12-scale, which would also be considered acceptable/average. Bruun also notes the many poor crosses.

Don't get me wrong, I don't blame him for the defeat - there are far bigger culprits and far worse performances. But I was mostly frustrated with what he did going forward.

Morten Bruun?! :lol: That guy, and every sport commentator in Denmark usually are a laughing stock. If that's the measure stick, then I call in couchpotato Carsten Werge and quote him like satan quotes the bible.

The biggest flaws of Dorgu in my opinion, is when he switches off defensively. There's no room for that in Premier League and he needs to improve that aspect. Other than that, I think we've seen glimpses of him linking up well with the others in attack at United. Should be given some time, unless we sign a really good wing back in winter - and who would that even be?
 
It’s insane how eager some people are to right off a 21 year old fullback. I think he has outstanding raw attributes and is already on par with Dalot.

Ideally we’d sign someone more established because wingback is a position we’re really lacking in. Mostly because we insist on using wingbacks but that’s a different thread.

I quite like Morten Bruun, but that's neither here nor there. But ok, what about Plbold.dk (4/12 score), or Tipsbladet (3/6 score)? Do you think everyone gives him an average score, because it was an average performance, or because of some grand conspiracy?

He switches off defensively, yes, and his offensive end product is not anywhere near the standard it needs to be. In this system we need more than glimpses to be succesful. I don't have the name of the LWB we should sign, and I also think CM is still higher priority. But it is obvious to me that the position is a problem right now, and it is holding the team back. It should be possible to note that without it being taken as writing Dorgu off completely, or that he shouldn't be playing with our current options.
 
We were looking for a wing back, so we managed to find a player who played RW and LB, put two and two together, and signed him. That's the level of incompetence we might be dealing with. At least he has some physically attributes to work with.

In general after a vital defeat everyone just loses their shit, and votes with their emotions, yes.

And in not saying you’re writing him off. That’s not what I’m reading. I just think the alternative to playing him is the lens one should look at it. That alternative is Dalot, or buying someone. As there’s no obvious transfer target out there way better currently, I think it only makes sense to develop a young player and not start Dalot.

Not really. I think the assessment of Dorgu's performance has been fair. The likes of Schmeichel, Kristensen, Hjulmand and Damsgaard get much harder criticism, and rightly so. But enough about that.

Yeah, I agree about that. There are two discussions. 1) Who should play the LWB position with our current options. 2) Is Dorgu good enough, or does he have the potential to be good enough. On the first, I think you could reasonably argue for Dorgu, because Dalot has major flaws. On the second, I am certain he is not currently good enough, and quite hesitant about his potential. A high-quality starter would be great to bring in for next season, where we hopefully have European games and need the rotation.
 
Very raw. So far doesn’t seem good enough but I’d be happy if he stayed in the squad. Shouldn’t be a starter.
 
Man Utd 0:1 Everton
He just doesn't really have any talent, vision or creativity on the ball. Don't think he'll stay here long. Should not be starting games even with our lack of LBs.
 
Rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish rubbish football player. Have no idea how he ever wore a United shirt that he didn’t have to pay for.
 
What do people mean when they say he has potential? He's so shite. I feel bad for him, it's not his fault we were daft enough to buy him.

He's rubbish, and I see no potential in him whatsoever.
 
Such a poor player. I don't want to pile on here, but he doesn't look like a player that will ever be good enough for Manchester United.
 
I still don't see what Dorgu gives us that Amass doesn't.

He’s young and Patrice Evra was crap when he signed seems to be the main reason.
 
An absolutely awful player

One of the worst left backs/ wing backs we’ve ever signed and it’s the only time in our history where that’s such a highly specialised and critical position

Way behind a Buttner or a Telles even
 
I actually like parts of his game,

However, he does this thing where in crossing positions he suddenly decides to stop dribbling and passes backwards.

That's what's going to hold him back, it's like he has no belief in his own technical ability.
 
He was definitely signed by some stattos. You spend one full 90 minutes watching him with your eyes and you can see the fundamental flaws to his game
 
I think we’ve all seen enough by now. He’s simply far too limited technically and tactically to play for us. His passing is horrendous, he hardly beats his man. I had high hopes for him but he isn’t good enough.
 
Why is he so muscular? He's gotten bigger than when he first arrived but I don't see how that helps a LWB that has to run as much as he does. He's lumbering now whereas the highlights of his play in the previous team showed a much more fluid player
