I think AWB has looked good linking up with James a few times. But yeah I get what youre saying.
Saying that, its so frustrating that AWB crosses in free space and hits a stationary defender which is normally the first man. Thats like an art.

He definitely lacks confidence. The thing is, he puts in some good crosses when he finally does put a ball in. But yesterday with all that possession and Cavani making runs in the box, he only put in 3 crosses and two of them was along the ground (to be fair one was a great cross that the defender barely got a toe to)
Man City 0:2 Man Utd
If it weren't for Shaw today, he'd be the United man of the match. Exemplary.
It's funny how dominant he is over Sterling literally every time they play each other.
Limited time against Foden but he seems way more vulnerable against that type of wide player. A standard pacey, direct winger who cuts in is easy for him though.

Locked up Sterling with Southgate in the stands. 
Sterling has nightmares about Wan Bissaka.
This guy is the king. He took Raheem's soul today.
Always available for selection. This season will be massive injection of needed experience for the lad.
Another good thing he got loads of time for further improvement.

He isn't comfortable on the ball, but he did extremely well defensively, he made one good run that Fernandes didn't spot but all in all excellent game today.
I think he'll improve on the ball with time, he is very young and very dependable

I'd love him to be our corner taker for a bit so he can become a bit more accurate with the ball at his feet.
I've always been a big fan though, even if we get another RV in the future - I'd never sell him.

Never took Sterling out of his pocket.
Best RB for England this season, Shaw has been the best LB.
The guy knows the defend but boy does he lack composure when pressed.
It’s such a luxury to be able to lock one side of the fields down like he does. Just an unbelievable defender.
Seemed ok in the first half but surprisingly poor 2nd half performance.
Sterling will be seeing him in his sleep. 
Sterling must hate the sight of him.
Brilliant once again against Sterling. Really owned his side and alway getting a toe in
He was so good. There are not many fullbacks you feel confident when left one on one but he makes it look easy.
I swear him and sterling have some unresolved beef. The way this guy destroys him every time they play against eachother is suspicious.
He was amazing today, right place at the right time every time. Love it

The perfect fullback against Sterling.. superb defending.
Yes agree as Foden is a more intelligent player than Sterling, who uses his feints and balance better.
Good defensive game from AWB. Can't ask more when he shut down that flank essentially.
Absolutely bossed Sterling yet again! Raheem should just take the day off next time this fixture comes round.
Wall-Bissaka
Was going to say, city need to put sterling on the other side or just play another play like Foden out there. Awb just has his numberAbsolutely bossed Sterling yet again! Raheem should just take the day off next time this fixture comes round.
The trio of AWB, Lindelof and McTomminay struggle a bit when they get pressed high since none of them are that good technically
Hes a beast in defense though
When his only job is to defend the man is an absolute wall. Was brave enough to make challenges in risky areas as well and kept winning them.
Imagine him on one side and Ashley Cole on the other. Would be a defensive sight to behold
Top class today.
No Man City player successfully dribbled past Aaron Wan Bissaka.
Made more interceptions (5) than any other player on the pitch and no #mufc player made more tackles (3).

Hahaha if that’s real he should know that’s going to haunt him forever now.
How much is a right back worth when he has a £55 million attacker in his pocket?
Cul-de-Saca
Don't know if he was 'struggling more' vs Foden per se, just that he'd spent 75 minutes in an intense battle with Sterling and Foden came on completely fresh.
Monstrous performance, as always.
For me,
AWB - Maguire - Shaw
McTominay
Bruno
Rashford
should always start when fit, and the rest can be filled in by 'best available'. Core of our team!

People keep saying that but it’s not true, even yesterday he did a little bit of skill to get out of a tight spot. He’s got skills.
what he doesn’t have:
Consistent right sided support creating space for him
Consistency of passing and crossing
Weak in the air
Composure sometimes
but he IS comfortable on the ball
How do you work Gandalf into a Wan-Bissaka pun?
I was discussing the same thing with my father yesterday. We both felt that it is AWBs passing that was not upto the required standard, but he seems alright in other aspects of his attacking game.
Yesterday was better than usual from him with regards to dealing with pressing. Did better with short passing in tight areas. Hopefully that's a sign of improvement.
