Christ, the hyperbole on here! He made a mistake, get over it. Happens to everyone!
Except he's not a brilliant defender. He's great 1v1, but he's got poor positioning and his covering at the back post on crosses is also usually poor.This will prove to be a good thing for AWB. It will highlight how important it is to be a brilliant defender. The naive opinions of him being a liability will soon realise how good he is defensively.
Cause he plays every game, people take it for granted. Dalot has already been poor on stopping a couple of crosses coming in.
I’ve never been a fan of him. Apart from his tacking I don’t see what his positive attributes are. How many times have we been raving about Luke Shaw having a stormer of a game, and how many times have we said the same thing about AWB? I just don’t see it with him.Time for people to overreact again.
Played out of positionThis. AWB at least is a RB, what is Sancho's excuse?
He went into a tackle because of his bad touch. And a bad touch is his trademark.Bad tackle but tackling is his strength so don’t know why there’s a little pile on here.
Threads like this need to be locked during the game
He's fit and practically always available.I’ve never been a fan of him. Apart from his tacking I don’t see what his positive attributes are.

Do you reckon Paul Pogba has a bad touch as well? Poor technical ability?He went into a tackle because of his bad touch. And a bad touch is his trademark.
But yeah these threads work as substitutes for player performance threads during the game.
A stinky butthole?I just wish I could call him what I want to call him
Key word being was.It's quite surprising how bad his touches and his technique are, considering that he was a winger.
Actually I don't rate Trippier much either.If you think Trippier is good enough, your in for a rude awakening if we sign him.
AWB is improving. When did we become the club that don't allow youth to develop, make mistakes and grow. I remember having this same argument over and over about Shaw - now everyone finally see's it all of a sudden like he just started being good.
AWB, McTominay, Jese Lingard and many more players who get unfair criticism, are good players. This toss the baby out with the bad water attitude is NOT Manchester United.
Trippier is NOT the answer speak to any old Spurs fan, heck just watch him.
I think he will be good enough not because he will be our all round Number 1 RB - but because Ole is building a clear top class squad with multiple players for multiple positions.Well most that slate a player obviously want to be wrong as it means they get better and are good enough. I like AWB but I have my doubts he will be good enough in the long term
You can tell the difference between an occasionally recurring incident and a frequently recurring one, can't you? You mean to tell me you believe that Pogba and AWB have the same quality of first touch?Do you reckon Paul Pogba has a bad touch as well? Poor technical ability?
Spot on. While I have my doubts of AWB getting proper competition in for him will be a world of good look what it did for Shaw.I think he will be good enough not because he will be our all round Number 1 RB - but because Ole is building a clear top class squad with multiple players for multiple positions.
He wants Trippier not because he wants to drop Wan Bissaka- he wants Trippier because it gives him a more attacking fullback within his squad.
Wan Bissaka is a useful player that I like seeing when we have some defending to do vs an attacking team. He has a clear quality like his one vs one tackling which is great vs inverted forwards.
However, just because Ole wants Trippier doesn't mean Wan Bissaka is useless or shit. He just becomes a variable in a many variables of a squad.
We don't play with a certain tactic needing a certain type of player- we can have multiple types of player in our squad. I value what Wan Bissaka brings.
considering they both play the exact same position on the pitch it’s an absolutely legitimate comparison. To not compare them would be a weird take!Looking at Dalot to imply why AWB is a brilliant defender is a weird take.
This is a good post, again.Actually I don't rate Trippier much either.
But he's light years ahead of AWB in possession. And in a lot of games that's the most important thing we need from our fullback. In terms of their offensive output, in terms of how they help us build up play but also defensively in terms of how resistant they are to be targeted by an opposition press. So even without rating Trippier, he'd pretty obviously be a better option for us than AWB in a lot of games.
Really as much as anything else I'm questioning the viability of having a fullback of AWB's profile in a top side. Even if you have two fullbacks of similar ability, the one whose weaknesses are so related to his fundamental technique will often prove to be more of a hindrance than one who is less strong defensively. Even if he keeps improving, he's someone you'd always have to account for tactically because of the type of fullback he is. It's not a coincidence that all the fullbacks ahead of him in the England pecking order are better than him in this regard.
No. What I said was that looking at Dalot to "imply" AWB is brilliant is a weird take, not the comparison it itself.considering they both play the exact same position on the pitch it’s an absolutely legitimate comparison. To not compare them would be a weird take!
Ole didn't have to sub VDB off and Sancho was having a mare anyway.I'm not going to comment on him as a player but I did find it hilarious that he effectively ruined the game for Sancho and van de Beek, two players who desperately needed minutes and form
Played out of position
AWB was a liability in the Champions League since last season already.Christ, the hyperbole on here! He made a mistake, get over it. Happens to everyone!
And that’s being generous in some aspects of his game — where he’s just hopeless.The red card happened because of his abysmal first touch. We need to accept that the RB will also need upgrading as AWB is just a bad footballer at an aspect of football in which more is demanded of full backs these days. He only excels at tackling and pace, the rest of his game is average
That first touch.. The ball wasn't even coming at him with pace. Abysmal stuffAnd that’s being generous in some aspects of his game — where he’s just hopeless.
