Granted, he is not a LB, but for someone 100 % defence that offer nothing going forward, to lose Salah like that. He sure must be singled out for. I mean it's not like he was found out too high on the counter, he has just let Salah run inside him and couldn't correct his mistake.
Yes i'm talking about the last goal. It was a one on one and he let Salah getting inside. I know he tried to stop him, but for someone only focused to the defensive side of thing, that is not good enought, but of course, all starded with the stupid McGuire.Are you talking about the final goal?
Maguire makes a poor pass, Dalot makes a weak tackle, AWB actually gets back and makes a block very unlucky with the outcome. Then after he stops Salah getting a shot away for a hat trick.
No one deserves praise for last night but AWB I don’t think deserves blame.

I understand your point. Like i said before, i only see a futur for him, if we convert him to CB. He is tall enought and has pace to recover.Maguire does have to carry the fault on the 4th it starts with him he causes that situation with a poor pass out to Hannibal who doesn't protect the ball, Dalot then doesn't throw himself into Jota to win the ball or commit the foul and Liverpool are in again.
I don't think you can give AWB much blame on that goal he managed to get back and make a challenge the luck of the bounce went against him on another day it hits the keeper or goes over rather than spin up the way it did.
It's also at 4-0 and all the problems Utd had in wide areas yesterday came from the side AWB wasn't on.
I don't think he's good enough in the long term to be our right back but last night he wasn't the problem.

I agree, but we can't sell all your backline in one window. At the moment, i expect a new RB (Timber if possible), with one of Dalot or AWB being the backup and the other being sold. At CB, we should sell McGuire, Bailly and Jones and get atleast 1 CB in (left footed if possible). Gvardiol is my pick.There is no future for him he isn't good enough on the ball, he doesn't stand in the correct position, he's not great in the air he'll never make it as a centre back not in a million years. If he wants to learn he needs to learn at another club.
I think in the modern game you can't carry lads that can't look after the ball anymore no amount of slide tackles will make up for the fact that he can't pass a football or control the ball properly.
I also question his desire he jogs out to the ball rather than sprint out.
I sort of agree here. I think we are going to have to do quite a lot of selling 2 to buy 1 and then beef up the squad with some of the returning U23s.I agree, but we can't sell all your backline in one window.

I'm not sure, he's great at tacking back, that is his skill, whereas I have always thought a better defender would not get into those situations in the first place.
But if he is listed for sale, we must have someone lined up.
Under Ole’s rule, AWB was fine. Ole wanted to play 4231 and hit on the counter. The new guy doesn’t want to play that way, so AWB no longer fits. I don’t think that’s bad scouting, just a change of plan.It's a tough one to really work out because compare him to the full backs at the top 2 they don't do a lot of defending because their teams keep the ball well and when they lose it they win it back high up the pitch. If you have the ball 70% of the time in most games you aren't doing much defending.
Just think being at Utd has highlighted the weaknesses in his game at Palace under Hodgson they were a super defensive side sitting deep and playing on the break his job was basically stop their winger and he hardly went forward. He then comes to Utd and in a lot of games we need him to be our attacking outlet on the right and he's just not good enough on the ball at this level.
I think his signing was an example of the lack of plan behind how this squad was put together we maybe didn't see it straight away but with the benefit of hindsight it became pretty clear that AWB couldn't do the job Ole needed him to do. Was that bad scouting or was it scouts not being given the right information on what the manager wanted? We don't really know but we know Ole had the veto so he must have looked at AWB and thought he fits the plan.
Another player we'll be taking a big loss on as at best we might get back half way we paid for him.
