Turd which won’t flush away. Time to move him on
I wish he would do the same "phasing in" with Matic who had an ankle surgeryAgree. I think he's phasing him in, especially because he had knee surgery.
Quality full back my assReally proud of him. He had a mare in the first half, but owned his flank in the second with little assistance to get us back in the game. Double the amount of crosses of anyone else in the the team and created two chances, getting the assist.
He’s a quality full back, comfortably the best we’ve got, but will never get his due to be an uninspiring purchase as a winger. Couldn’t really give two shits if other people can’t overcome that bias and yes, I am still going to bat for him despits that first half.
It’s weird people are using this performance to call for Dalot when Dalot has already made similar defensive errors that haven’t lead to goals, but when you’ve played less than 20 senior games, there’s not a massive compilation of areas for people to lol at.
He’s a quality full back.
If all of our players in the squad displayed half the desire and effort Ashley Young puts in week in week out we'd be much closer to City and Liverpool
If any of you actually go to games you cant fault his effort that in which deserves respect.
The so called more talented players need to buck up. They've let themselves down and their teammates.

I go to games and I respect the work Young puts in, he gives everything week in week out.
Doesn't mean his flaws as a winger turned fullback can't be pointed out when glaringly obviously like in the first 20 minutes yesterday. Both were absolutely shocking pieces of defending.
Let's be honest.
Generally he has been solid for us. Last season with Shaw sitting on the sidelines stuffing his face Young was a revelation at left-back. Pocketting Salah the highlight.
Yes I agree Yesterday though like the rest of his teammates in the 1st half we were all over the shop. The goals we conceded were a disgrace.
Like I said though when I go to games Young has always given 100% every game. Others need to step up. Because so far barring second half last night effort and desire by too many players has been lacking
This. It doesn't matter who we buy he always finds a way back into the team. Di Maria, Memphis, luke shaw last season and now Dalot.Turd which won’t flush away. Time to move him on
No he has not been solid for us at all. Mostly he has been average at best. 11/12 he started well, general he was fine. 2012/2013, 2013/2014 he was awful. 2014/2015 he had 5 good games. 2015/2016 awful. 2016/2017 cant even remember the games he played.
What exactly is he doing that's not disappointing?Crazy to think Ashley Young has managed to still be at United starting games 7 years after joining us. He’s done well to hang around. Shows how far being a good boy gets you.
He’s been useful over the years when others have let us down, and gives his best. He’s invariably found a way into the team over the years due to the better players than him who were bought for a job disappointing.
Yep. Then they'll be the first to wonder why we're looking shit at defending.No idea what some people are going on about. At fault for two goals and should have had a pen given against him. But we get the usual crap like he plays with his heart and all that.
Someone should tell Darmian you’d get more brownie points if you go to matches and sit with fans.
What exactly is he doing that's not disappointing?
He can't defend and going forward it's been a mare from him this season. Everytime we tried to attack from our right flank he'd mess up everything and I thought I'd never see a player have their crosses blocked as much as Valancia.
I get what you're stating.I love his efforts but he should never start for us. He should be used when players are tired/suspended/injured.
I wish he would do the same "phasing in" with Matic who had an ankle surgery
Thing is though, if you can't test Dalot against one of the worst teams in the league who can you test him against? Wouldn't be so bad if he were making the bench, he's not even playing for the U23s at the moment.I get what you're stating.
He was chosen ahead of the off form defensive Valencia. Alternative option is Darmian and the risk option of playing a young untested Dalot who'll likely get targeted by Newcastle.
It's not a bad selection this time before the start of the match.
Couldn't agree more, he's full of energy and commitment, you just know he gives it his absolute all on the pitch and that's exactly what you want to see from a United player. On the other hand though he's not really got the ability we're desperate for at the moment and does often stick out like a sore thumb, he's definitely capable of great moments though.Find it difficult to have a go at Young because he does always put in a shift and whilst he was dreadful in the first half yesterday he provided a peach of a ball for Sanchez and he is a true professional.
No problem with him as a squad player but we do need a proper full back.
Weather that is Dalot remains to be seen..
Seriously he is finished. Who does Newcastle have they could use to target Dalot anyway ? A home game against a shit team is as ideal as it gets to introduce a new young player.I get what you're stating.

That's a good point. Situation is that we need to win this game after the bad run of results and bad team form. At the background of this game is also that drama, a high pressure game. Starting Dalot would be a big gamble.Thing is though, if you can't test Dalot against one of the worst teams in the league who can you test him against?

And that shit team scored twice against us quickly at the start, exploiting our RB of the day.Seriously he is finished. Who does Newcastle have they could use to target Dalot anyway ? A home game against a shit team is as ideal as it gets to introduce a new young player.
The thing is, we won't know if we don't give him a chance but with Young, we know, we've seen it plenty of times that he can be easily targeted.That's a good point.

I do agree Dalot should be on the bench for this game, as alternative attacking FB option.
And that shit team scored twice against us quickly at the start, exploiting our RB of the day.
And let's say Dalot play and made costly mistakes, the usual upcoming horror "Dalot is shit, another average players, etc." you know will come. Is it a good calculated risk? It's fine if he play well, but if he don't, is he strong enough mentally to cope with the pile of harsh criticism coming his way?
The caf is full of negativity.
He did well. We won. He made mistakes, move on.
What are you trying to insist upon? That players are only as good as their last game.Seriously, after those first two goals yesterday in which he has never looked more like a lost winger back in his own box you're gonna call him a "quality full back"
Come on, he absolutely is not.
Need to check the definition of quality.
Quality full back my ass
Young has generally been poor since January or so, but he was quite good before then. Every year for the last few he'd started down the pecking order before ultimately getting a chance and going on to be our best for the season. That shouldn't be forgotten.Seriously, after those first two goals yesterday in which he has never looked more like a lost winger back in his own box you're gonna call him a "quality full back"
This. It doesn't matter who we buy he always finds a way back into the team. Di Maria, Memphis, luke shaw last season and now Dalot.
Oh come off it. He has the luxury of being on the good page of Jose notebook and he got leeway others did not. He had plenty of awful games last season.He played last season because no one else was stepping up. He played very well for a good portion of the season and I'd say was one of the major reasons we got a result against Liverpool. Also the only one that could actually put a cross in.
Blame Shaw for him playing last season, but I don't think he did a bad job. His career was dwindling out until others weren't stepping up, and he came back and put shifts in.
It should be Dalot playing now though.

Nobody else got a fair chance really. He had plenty of bad games and mistakes, and he was never a long term plan for the position. His defensive performance against Liverpool wasn't a one man effort, and he didn't stop Salah on his own. It was a collective good defensive performance, in which Bailly was the best and yet he scored an own goal.He was still playing better than anyone else. When he came in everyone was relieved to actually have someone who can cross the ball. And his defensive performance against Liverpool was 10/10. He played Salah out of the game at the peak of his season, which completely nullified their threat.
Let's not revise things because Shaw is playing well this season and Young isn't.
