He attacks the ball like this;Yeah, he’s like a child who’s afraid of getting hurt. But, unlike the first goal he at least tried to defend it.

The was one relatively uncontested one in the second half he just headed 90 degrees into the air...
He gives the phrase "50p head" new life.
Not tonight he wasn’t. All their threat was on the other flank.It says a lot that he's a target for the opposition in both attack and defence.
So Pep finally figured out that getting his wide attacker going one on one with him is pointless, just passing around him, letting him make unforced error works wonder...
Mourinho did the same when they played us, focus on off ball running than take on and he's out of the game,
Now if team starting playing like this, he's useless for us. Just so many flaws in his game.
I think that’s when the problems start for him, when he’s being directly attacked I’m quite confident he’s going to cut out the ball or make the tackle, when the balls on the other side I always worry about his positioning and losing his man during the attackNot tonight he wasn’t.

Yes it will help him become a great impact sub when we're playing in the earlier rounds of the fa and carling Cup.Real Competition will help him I think.
Also interested in knowing whos in charge of the defensive side of coaching
I completely agree. I cringe everytime he tries something technical - he looks so awkward. Not at all in his natural element. Very limited player and not what we want going forward.I can go into any of the regular battleground threads - Maguire, Lindelof, Pogba, Martial - and understand how people on both sides came to their conclusions...but I just will never understand how people can think Wan-Bissaka is close to good enough for us.
Comically limited player. Offers nothing going forward, struggles in possession, struggles with the most basic technical and tactical aspects of being a footballer...not even a good defender. He also plays in an absolute passion and effort free manner for 95% of matches. Slide tackle robot.
Tell me how he's better than somebody like Coufal or Cash...never mind the elite right-backs.

I still worry about his positioning... seems to have regressed since last seasonI really liked his performance today in the 2nd half.
His passing was really good.
Him, bailly and pogba controlled really nice with some deep passing.

Again, nothing much happened off of it and in the 2nd half it definitely improved.
I guess if Greenwood is allowed to have a 2nd season syndrome then Wan Bissaka should too as well.
There’s differences in expectation between a first choice 50m RB and an academy player.
Massive game required on Sunday. Needs to keep Mane and Robertson quiet.
Very limited and needs some competition ASAP!
He was obviously targeted in the first half because of his poor aerial ability. Considering he's quite tall for a fullback he really should be better in the air.
There was a 10 minute period in the second half where he played three very nice passes through the defensive lines to get us into attacking positions, so that was a good bonus. Hopefully we'll see more of that.
