Maybe I was watching a different game but I thought he was fine? He had 1 silly moment in the 1st half but that was it. He was actually the only player that wasn't shitting the bed with nerves and looked like be had CL experience.

Our defenders had little to do
Looked panicked, erratic, not like a CL winner. Really disappointing from him. Athletico were shite...pure shite...you buy players like him to instill calmness and security. He looked anything but and “fine” is not good enough when he is one of only a handful of players you expect to take responsibility in these types of games.
really disappointed with him last night.
really disappointed with him last night.
In the first half he was very sloppy and didnt look like a top Defender at all. Very erratic. Hopefully just a bad game
Lack of communication between Rafa and De Gea caused the first goal. Just before the goal, Varane poorly headed away a ball that clearly should've been De Gea's, which led directly to Madrid's goal. Don't know if big Dave called for it or what, but very poor between the two. Considering Dave and Harry had a very similar lack of communication minutes before, I suspect De Gea might be the guilty party.
He looked like championship Varane. There was no calmness about him
Missing again today in one of our toughest games of the season. Had hoped he was over his earlier injuries.
Bit of a crock.
We've signed another Phil Jones havn't we? Missed half the season with injuries and as a result he's getting no consistency.
The amount of injury prone defenders we've had in the last 15 years is genuinely ridiculous.
Pointless being our best CB (not convinced he is) when missing for half the games. More wasted money.
Oh dear. Isn’t really a shock, world class defender when fit but he isn’t fit nearly enough.
Probably be yet another big name signing that we look back on and think what if.

almost every defender we get becomes injury prone
His mental state is broken to pieces to be fair.
Calm down, he's not injured he has covid.
Glad he’s got covid.
What is wrong with you? Is this just bad phrasing?
He probably means it is «better» he’s sick rather than picking up «another» injury.
I was just joking as everyone is losing there shit about injuries, no harm meant to Varane.
Can't he play anyway? No restrictions now? Obviously he must not feel well. But if a player gets it and feels fine, they can play, right?
Alright sorry for my reaction then. Felt a bit mean-spirited at first.
No, you still have to isolate, until you get double negative or something.
Just me being a sarcastic cnut, probably wasn’t the best joke in hindsight..
Is that a PL rule or in general?
General as far as I know.
Just guidance rather than a rule. You don't have to self isolate but its recommend that you do as you described.
Would be a bad look to play him (even if asymptomatic), plus would increase the risk of it spreading so in no ones best interest.

We were joking a few days ago; what injury will Varane get this time to miss the City match? Has he played any big games since he joined us? Atletico is the only one I can I can think of.
It was always going to be an issue with Varane. He is not quite the player he was a few years back and his injuries have contributed to that, key to why Madrid were content to let him go.

Another schweinsteiger, except varane cost a big fee, I had a bad feeling about this transfer as it made little sense why a player would choose us over madrid at this moment in time aside from $$$ which is not the reason you want a player coming to your club for
Except he has actually been pretty good when he's played whereas Schweiny never got out of first gear.
How dare he catch covid. Too unreliable, get rid
He's not injured...
I like Varane but he hasn’t solved any issues. He’s a great CB but if you had to give his season a scoring it’d be a 6/10 at best.
I feel the Varane criticism is too harsh.
It's hardly his fault he got covid. He's been by far our best defender and it's shown in most games he's played. Our defence is much better with him in it.
