So part two of the defensive unit this season are the full backs.
As normal give your mark out of 10 and any comment you want to add.
AWB ~ 7/10. £55m is a big price to pay for a full back but I think he's been great one vs one defender there really is no one better obviously work to be done on his ability going forward but I think it's fair to say he improved as the season went on just needs to look after the ball a little better in possession makes a few to many sloppy passes. Think he dipped a bit after the restart but this is his first long season and he barely got a rest. I'd say pre lockdown 8/10 post lockdown 6/10 so overall I'll give him a 7/10.
Dalot ~ 4/10. Like some of the others in the squad just isn't there when you need him he's to injury prone and I'll be honest never really seen the ability people claim he has. Looks like a dud signing to me. Get fit is my message to him but feels like the message from Ole is get out. Don't ever see him ousting AWB from that starting spot unless there's an injury for his own development he needs to go and play regular football next season.
Shaw ~ 6/10. Think 6/10 sort of sums him up he's an ok defender probably had his best games playing in a back 3 which isn't really his position but it meant he didn't have to do the bit of the game he struggles with which is attacking. He gets into the right positions going forward but his quality is poor not sure he registered a goal or assist this season. Will say in his defence we did miss him when he was injured.
Williams ~ 7/10. Gets a few extra points as it's his break through season but my concern over him not having a left foot remains a problem in the modern game you need your full backs to provide width and good delivery into the box he just doesn't do that. Tenacious little bugger which is likeable in a player but got plenty to improve on if he wants to nail down that starting spot at Utd.
Fosu-Mensah ~ 5/10. Decent cameo at the end of the season so give him a mention but shouldn't be at the club next season.
Young ~ 5/10. Played a few games at the start was clearly done at Utd and was sold to Inter where he's having a bit of a second wind but can honestly say he's not been missed.
