[Raw]

You can see why ETH was desperate to keep him!

 

[Red the Bear]

Well maybe he'll work it out after all!

I gotta credit his mentality, didn’t think he'll have the drive to make it, Jose is relatively redeemed on this one.

 

[AltiUn]

He's doing well and I've enjoyed his performances, that being said I still think he's a fairly obvious upgrade next summer.

 

[Kostov]

He looks more focused compared to previous seasons. He has the occasional brain fart but overall he should keep his place for now, until we bring someone better.

 

[RedStarUnited]

I loved those confident switches to Shaw. It's little things like that that become so important in controlling a game, because it breaks their press and allows us to progress the ball with ease yet someone like AWB could never do it.

People can keep hating this guy because he's not an athletic/rampaging type but his technical quality and two-footedness is always going to keep him in the side.

Came to say the same thing.

 

[SAF is the GOAT]

He should be carful because he's 1 yellow card from suspension and we don't have a proper RB right now

 

[Rozay]

Think he’s a very good player in between both boxes, and not particularly good in either - generally speaking. Was excellent yesterday though.

 

[bond19821982]

Reminder - he is yet to complete one full season as a regular starter. That's how it works with young players. Players can look extremely shit .

Remember Ronaldo in first 2 years ? One trick show pony !! So glad that great man stick with him, given his potential.

 

[King7Eric]

Think he’s a very good player in between both boxes, and not particularly good in either - generally speaking. Was excellent yesterday though.

I think this defines him perfectly. You can see he has great technical quality in terms of ball control and carrying as well as off the ball movement. But his crossing is poor, and defensively one on one seems like someone who can be got at, though seems to defend well as part of a unit.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I still think there's a lot more to come from him. It's exciting to see a young player with such a clear upwards trajectory. Feels like years since we've seen this. Other than flash in the pan excitement, based on a very small number of appearances.

 

[bond19821982]

Trolling how? How can a manager decide if a player lacks desire and effort when the latter hasn't even started a competitive game under him? He was deleted from squad the moment Ten Hag arrived

You might say from the training sessions but yet again even a blind person can see that Iqbal and Savage are better players than Fred. Why did Fred start ahead of them on Sunday?

Stop wumming. Seriously !+

 

[mu4c_20le]

Yeah, we ran out of money in the summer.

ETH was about to replace him with Dest

 

[bond19821982]

ETH was about to replace him with Dest

Not really. That was just a media BS. Right from day 1, ETH said he wanted to work with Dalot (yes, that's the exact word reported )

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

I actually thought he didn’t play very well to be honest. Felt nervy whenever Perisic ran at him. He got done a few times but then Perisic would put a shit cross in.
He was okay but honestly don’t see why everyone is lauding that performance

That’s you’re own feeing though, because when he was attacked he defended really well.

 

[bosnian_red]

Yeah, we ran out of money in the summer.

ETH was about to replace him with Dest

He was going to replace AWB, not Dalot. Dest was going to be competition and depth for a low cost, like Malacia (though he's also a future starter). We still need RB competition/depth.

 

[Chaky_Best]

I am maybe one of his biggest hater since the day he joigned us.

Truth is, he is playing very well both defensively and in attack and also brings balance in midfield.

Hats off, and hope he keeps the same level and improve his deliveries.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I’m going to assume this is total bollox but, if not, would be a hell of a surprise. Who knew Dalot was rapid?!

 

[criticalanalysis]

I’m going to assume this is total bollox but, if not, would be a hell of a surprise. Who knew Dalot was rapid?!

He's not got elite acceleration over 1-5 yards but once he gets going, he's actually quite fast with his long strides. One of his underrated attributes is that he is generally all around very athletic, in size, length, speed and height, which gives him a good basis as a defender and going forward.

 

[Giggsforever]

I’m going to assume this is total bollox but, if not, would be a hell of a surprise. Who knew Dalot was rapid?!

It has been known for a couple of years that he has the top speed record (test at Carrington) for senior players.

 

[NewYorkRed]

Classic caf; Mostly everybody wrote him off before the season, then he had a few good games and everybody was a fan, then a couple bad ones and he was shit again and now he’s back to being Cafu.

He’s a young player with high potential. There will be highs, there will be lows. Its upto him and the manager to ensure he turns into a top player. Certainly looks like he has the hunger for it and his skill is there for all to see.

 

[NZT-One]

Again with a decent game. Bit shaky in defence sometimes, but a few very strong dribblings.

 

[slored1]

Needs to sort out his passing. I swear he gives away three or four balls per game just because he does not look up when he lays it off.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Hold my hand up, he's been very good/solid for the last few weeks. Still not amazing going forward but I can see something, which before I couldn't. Previously he looked out worse player.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Kept Sterling quiet. (I) couldnt ask for more

 

[arnie_ni]

He does so much good work until he gets in the final third. He usually tries to beat another man and loses it or often his cross or cut back finds no one.

Hes been a revelation though, he was fecking dreadful before ETH

 

[arnie_ni]

Hold my hand up, he's been very good/solid for the last few weeks. Still not amazing going forward but I can see something, which before I couldn't. Previously he looked out worse player.

You and I give him so much stick last season.

 

[ManRed]

He is growing as a right back, can see him a big player for us by next season. He is driving well but just goes clueless in the final third

 

[Globule]

Again with a decent game. Bit shaky in defence sometimes, but a few very strong dribblings.

I think his defensive performance was probably the strongest part of his game today. Didn't really get beat and if he did he mostly recovered.

 

[Idxomer]

He was really good again.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

You and I give him so much stick last season.

Well, rightly so, he was appalling

 

[Biggins]

He really has so much potential. Him and Laird next season and we may be sorted in right back department for years

 

[arnie_ni]

Well, rightly so, he was appalling

I wanted awb back in at times

 

[Ibi Dreams]

Played well today on the whole. Loved seeing him power up the pitch, shame he never ended up doing anything with it but it was useful just to get us up there anyway

 

[simonhch]

He’s the perfect example of the power of coaching. Looks a different player to the one we had last season. Looks genuinely good.

 

[V.O.]

Why is Lilian Thuram playing right back for us now, and what has he done with Dalot?

 

[Sylar]

Thought he was really good especially with some of his driving forward
Defensively sound too

 

[Red Shorts]

He can put together some absolutely cracking runs forward, but then doesn't know when to pass the ball. If he can get the end product right he can be great going forward.

 

[Poborsky's hair]

Let me just say that he was very good again. Encouraging to see him going forward with such conviction when we needed it. Should do it more often. Defensively very good as well. Definitely one of his best games for us..

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Glides with the ball but runs out of ideas when he nears dangerous positions.

 

[Rozay]

Was faultless.
