    He's been bad plenty of times on the right already.

    Normal fullbacks just don't cut it in Amorims system. They need to be very good going forward or the formation doesn't work

    And he’s been decent a lot of games on the left, and really good in a few.

    You wouldn’t know it looking at his performance thread but that thread is a joke at this point. He can have a 6/10 game and the RWB has a 4/10 game, and you wouldn’t know it by looking at their respective threads.

    Some so called fans even rushed in there after Liverpool game to explain why his performance was not that good, and one person was mad that he celebrated his goal vs FCSB.

    Interestingly, Amorim almost never subs him off and constantly does for Mazraoui, Malacia, and whoever else is shoved at WB. I think he sees more than the average fan here sees (great coverage, always giving width, good runs in behind with admittedly inconsistent end product, “unsuccessful crosses” because we fecking never have anyone in the box, etc..). Not a surprise to me that Mazraoui is removed from WB before Dalot is, like at all.

    What I'd give for a striker like Ruud these days. One of the best inside the box I've ever seen
     
    Mazraoui is back in what has arguably been his best position for us which is good.

    Really excited to see Dorgu and the overall effect it has on the balance of the team having a more 'natural' player in that role. Shifts Dalot and Amad too which is great!
     
    Really would have hoped Garnacho was in instead of Dalot but it is what it is.

    Dalot is going to have to play really god damn well tonight to convince me he deserves his spot in this side.

    Even that might not be enough tbh :)
     
    Have a bad feeling about this. I put money on United winning and every time I done so recently we ended up losing
     
    Slightly disappointed that Chido-Obi is not on the bench, if only for that last few minutes as an option
     
    Really looking forward to a more balanced side with Dalot on the right and Dorgu of the left terrorizing them. Hope to see Hojlund get more involved now, he needs low balls into him while facing the goal and not high floaty crosses.

    Yeah, hoping to see more of Dorgu/Dalot getting to the byline for the cut across.
     
    Is everyone else excited to see the FA Cup Winners Gold Ball tonight? It's the magic of the cup...
     
    Does our team get officially announced on here? Is there a spot where I know I can always go to find it ?
     
    So frustrating we didn't sign/loan/whatever a striker in the window, so we are resigned to watching the 2 lumps stink the place out up front for the rest of the season, so we will barely score

    Shame we couldn't have had a youth striker or 2 on the bench tonight would rather give one of them a go
     
    I really hope this lot doesn't ruin the weekend. We need a win!
     
    Imagine the scenes in here if Ruben starts Dorgu on the right and Dalot on the left.
