Always has a feck up in him. Always had always will like so many of our current players. Maguire, Lindelof, AWB, Onana, mctominay, Bruno etc like there are so many of them. How the hell we ended up with so many unreliable players? Unreliable players in defence unreliable players in midfield unreliable players in attack. Ineos has one hell of a job to rectify everything from top to bottom.

Think he was struggling all game with Palmer. Didn't know whether to drift in with him or not. Doesn't help we've no one in midfield to track Palmers runs either.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt though, he's been our best player this season (bar is low, I know).
Yikes, the pitch forks are out. Our genuine POTY, been brilliant last 2-3 months and now he's 'always been that bad xyz'.
Gutting moment as he was trying so hard to get back. Even before that, I thought he was one of our better players. For the first goal, he actually did well to win the ball off Palmer, which would have set us off on the counter attack, only for Mainoo to a make bad pass and give it back to them when Dalot was already out of position.
The game is on ETH. Not even our best back four consisting of Brown/Rio/Vidic/Evra could defend against this many transitions, shots on goals etc. It's fecking pathetic.

He looked confused out left the entire game. Not a huge deal, should really never be playing there.
Looks out of sorts tonight. Skinned by Cole Palmer in the first half. Gave away the pen then went rushing forward with the ball at 3-3, gave it away, which led to the counter.
Not a left back.

Weird from him today. His performances have been about doing lots of little things at a high level
Instead, his performance today was extremely volatile - the highest highs and the lowest lows
Brilliant cross/assist for Bruno. But then the penalty concession (albeit very soft) and the wild decision that ultimately led to the final corner
Perhaps that's what you risk when you put him on the left

He has to play every single minute, in the most physically-demanding position on the pitch, half the time on his weaker side. He's been an absolute star this season, and I kind of refuse to hear any criticism of him.
In terms of squad support, he's doing the job of 3 players. When Poch was crushing it at Spurs, he made sure to always have 4 FBs, so that he coudl swap them in the 60th, because the position requires that much running.
Should be given half of Shaw's salary imo.

He has been great this season but was poor for most of the game against Chelsea with his passing, positioning and overall concentration.
He is the RB version of Maguire - good performance whole game but have a goal-conceding feck up too often.
And people said he was a top player. He's just dumb and scores a good goal every 20 goals or sometimes has a good cross. We should seriously sell, his mistakes are costing us too often
He's not Cafu for sure, but arguably, he's one of the best (or not worse) player of the season.
Nevertheless, he struggled on the left where the marks are different from the right and shouldn't have conceded that foul at the end.
Also, I can't forgive the club in not having a backup left back. Both him and AWB where tired and unfortunately we had no one to replace.

If there is one player who has built up enough credit to cut him some slack it’s Dalot.
Playing on his weak side against Chelsea’s best player.
The penalty is incredibly harsh but it happens. Not his best game but his cross was excellent.

He has absolutely zero goodwill. Too many mistakes, too often out of position, too many goals conceded due to him. He's a shit footballer and needs to be sold asap

Dalot has arguably been our player of the season this season.
He’s clearly not a shit footballer. I’m curious how you think this is a serious opinion to hold?
Player of the season, ahead of Garnacho? If we would make a poll, he would most likely not even be in the top 5

Nah, he's played well but today was poor.
That's not the ringing endorsement people seem to think it is.
The last two goals were on him but he looked spent. Playing out of position and too many forward runs then chasing back. His game management is poor.
A complete lack of options on the bench to replace him killed us.
Hes had a good season so i can forgive.

How is he people's player of the season though? I've seen the vast majority of games this season and it seems like a lazy pick as barely anyone has stood out...
Surely better than being worst of the worst or mid of the worst?
Not a left back but probably better than AWB at left back so don’t have much choice to play him there.

True
I certainly don’t think there are 5 players better than him this season in our squad.No he’s not top quality, and you’re right our standards have dropped. He is in contention for POTY though, that was my original point. If we were able to get a high level right back I think Dalot can get even better, and be a very good squad option.
I think you’ve answered your own question.
Garnacho, Mainoo, Hojlund. As for the 2nd season, I also put Onana before him and I thought Shaw, Martinez and Maguire (although injured often) were the better defenders too.

So for our player of the season you’d put all the youngsters ahead of him.
And also Shaw (36%) Maguire (48%) and Martinez (22%).
(xx%) = % PL Mins Played
Imagine being the worst player in this squad this season, almost impressive.Surely better than being worst of the worst or mid of the worst?
Would agree with that yeah.True
'Least shit player of the year' would be a more apt name for the award.
The great assist for our 2nd goal was marred by the last 2-3 minutes from him. He wasn't playing his favoured position so I can cut him some slack.
Quality over quantity and when they played they were all much better and less error prone.
Reading this thread and some others, it genuinely feels like most posters wait for bad things to happen so they can finally slate a player they dont like.
He has been terrific this season. Played almost every minute, played right back and left back. Yes, it was a dumb mistake but mistakes happen. It doesn't shape his season and the improvements he has made. Some of you need to get a grip. You're weird.

I thought he was absolute gash to be honest, standard Antony shit... then there was a 10/15 minute spell in the second half where he looked like a genuine, threatening world beater... absoutely rinsed Cucha then did THAT pass.
Unfortunately after that pass I think he then also thought he was a genuine, threatening world beater.... and then was back to being shit.

+1 every word
Well, yeah. Our season is being carried by the youngsters, Garnacho especially.
Dalot is having probably the best season of his own career, its very good by his own standards. But no where near the best in the team.
He's been one of our best players this season.
IF (big if) he can find some consistency in his game he'll be top right-back IMO

Feck me, what absolutely terrible posts here. Selling Dalot, are you having a laugh. He's our only defender who can stay fit. Not in top 5 for POTS?! Again, what are you smokin
I get that you need to let out steam and shout and moan at the tv or in the stadium. What I do t get is the need to throw up in an online forum or social media. At least the time it takes to write instead of just saying things ought to make people think a little before posting and consider if they contribute with anything meaningful to the conversation or not.
One bad game doesn’t change the fact that Dalot has been one of our most consistent and important players this season. Just as Anthony’s two decent performances don’t define his season, this game shouldn’t define Dalot’s.
We need a manager with a clear playing style and plan who has the backing from the owners to implement it. Players make mistakes all the time, but in a well functioning team and system silly mistakes will rarely happen - and when they do they will often not matter as much.

My thought exactly.
This.
Man Utd 2:2 Liverpool
Thought he was easily MOTM. Never stopped running.
