End product isn't there yet but I like that he's really trying to up his attacking game and is showing confidence in taking a man on.
Got taken on a few times today, but all in all, he was good defensively. Felt he was pretty good going forward tonight, too. Forced the issue at times, following some decent runs which lead to a cross or corner.
To be fair, I genuinely don't think any defender in history can come up against Adama and win all the duels. The guy is ridiculous one on one.
He did better going forward, he's deceptively quick. Takes him about 4 strides to cover 50 yards
He looked injuredWorst game in a United shirt. Needs a few games out of the team.

He cut out quite a few attacks anyway, what an overreaction by the OP.Because of one bad game? Jesus!
He should be playing for a team battling relegation, not for a team that has title aspirations. Yes, he's solid defensively but he offers absolutely nothing going forward. It's like having Valencia Mk II excep he's worse going forward. Such a limited player and yet we paid £50m for him.
I get the vibe of Smalling's posture every time he tries to pass the ball.
Or he looked tired...Love AWB, but he weirdly looked like he couldn't give a feck today. No closing down, passive, wasn't even rushing at the end to take throws at 1-0 down. Probably tired, he seriously needs a rest.
Looks knackered. Time to start involving Ethan Laird

Gary Neville said early in 2nd half that he looked tired and leggy, which is strange so early in game and after half time rest.He looked injured

Yes!
He looked jaded and tired. Rest won't do him any harm.
If you read my post I actually said: "he needs a few games out of the team".Your post suggested that he should be out of the team because of a bad game, rather than tiredness. However, if you explained that initially, I wouldn't have quoted you.
I do agree, though. He did look tired. Cant be easy keeping Mane, Robertson and Wijnaldum quiet, though. They were constantly creating overloads down that side.

Or just play Dalot the other fullback we spent money on.
That's something similar I said when we signed him. I got laughed at. Defenders lunging into the ground is never a good sign.His positioning at times is a bit wayward. While he is praised for it, a lot his tackling is due to him not tracking the runner well enough.
I think he can get away with it when the opposition left back isn't so attacking. He's good one vs one, but I think we saw a real issue today with the movement of Mane and the running of Robertson.That's something similar I said when we signed him. I got laughed at.

Anyone would struggle up against those two.I think he can get away with it when the opposition left back isn't so attacking. He's good one vs one, but I think we saw a real issue today with the movement of Mane and the running of Robertson.
Looked hungover. Not like his usual self at all. At times he was really struggling to get back in and just letting people run off him. I thought maybe he was just tired but then last 10 minutes he sort of rallied and seemed to be getting forward quite a bit.
