Poor 60 minutes.

 

[criticalanalysis]

Nightmare season. Last season 9/10 he would show a player the outside and comfortably get the better of them no matter the opposition. Last few games, he has been poor. Looks shot of confidence and probably knackered with the amount of games he's been involved with. Not an excuse but I'm glad he was subbed off. Maybe he needs a reset. Hopefully he won't be involved much for Portugal during the international games.

 

[The Mitcher]

Shite again. He's nowhere near as good as people think he is.

 

[KranjskaKlobasa]

He really seems so out of sync with the rest of our back four.

 

[Baneofthegame]

Luckily Ndidi fluffed his chance, he’s been unusually poor in both directions this season, after being one of our better performers the past season.

 

[Red in STL]

I think he's mentally tired, he's played virtually every game in the last year, barely had a break in the summer, he needs a rest, without a LB though it's hard to see where he'll get one

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

We badly need a left back so

1) We can have an actual LB playing at LB
2) We can play Mazraoui at RB and stick Dalot on the bench.

Dalot has been fecking awful all season. Maybe the worst player of the season so far.

 

[CM]

Dalot looked knackered midweek against PAOK. I'm glad Van Nistelrooy had the stones to actually hook him today though. You can talk about players taking accountability until the cows come home but it doesn't mean anything until the manager takes action. Dalot has been dining out on being one of the better players in a terrible team last season, he hasn't really got near the standards this season.

I'm interested to see how he gets on under the new manager because Mazraoui has been far better than him in the first few weeks of this season. If it ends up being a direct choice between the two, Dalot should really be getting dropped.

 

[bosnian_red]

He's just lost some form, nothing crazy. Pretty confident in saying he'll be a key player for Amorim whether it's at RWB or LWB (where he played a full season for Milan while on loan).

 

[Ekeke]

He does switch off too often. Its dissappointing. Still a good player but he needs to do better staying focused

 

[Irwin99]

It will be interesting to see if Amorim sticks with him or switches to another left back option.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Needs a few games on the bench to focus his mind.

Hopefully 1 of our left backs can make an appearance to allow that to happen.

 

[Bwuk]

It will be interesting to see if Amorim sticks with him or switches to another left back option.

Neither him nor Mazraoui should be the left back option long term. Both are better on the right.

 

[The holy trinity 68]

Neither him nor Mazraoui should be the left back option long term. Both are better on the right.

It's madness that the club has 4 players that can play LB and none of them are good enough to be a long term starter in that position. But I suppose with Amorim playing 343, one of the more attack minded players will probably play there?

 

[AarhusUnited]

He had a good/very good season last year, which looked better becaurse everyone else was so shit.. Many in here got carried away or (as usual) overrate our players to a degree that they look world class, so now where he has a bad season it looks even worse.. Dalot was never going to be good enough for a team like United, like a few others in our current team.. He should be no more than a squad player

 

[Oscar Bonavena]

He's been shocking this season. Badly needs a spell out of the team just to get a break if nothing else. Even without a LB available, I'd almost move Martinez there for a few games and Mazraoui to RB. Or Lindelof to RB and Mazraoui to LB, for a few games at least. Just to get Dalot out of the team for a few weeks.

However, with Amorim coming in and presumably reverting to a back 3 with wing backs, I don't see how Dalot would be dropped. Lindelof and Martinez could probably do a job at full back for a few games, but not at wing back, where our only realistic options appear to be Dalot and Maz (unless he tries to convert Antony to a LWB!)

 

[Telsim]

I think he needs a break to reset and refocus. The amount of minutes he has played over the last 18 months is insane. With only two full backs in the entire team it seems unlikely he will get it, but maybe in this new coach's presumed system other players can help take the load off.

He seems to favour one attacking WB and at Sporting they were basically wingers. Wouldn’t be surprised if Garnacho is one of them.

Garnacho is one of our biggest goal threats. I doubt we move him futher from goal.

 

[macheda14]

Garnacho is one of our biggest goal threats. I doubt we move him futher from goal.

If we start with say a zirkzee then I can see him being our player to stretch the opposition as an inside forward. But the way sporting have played is their wing backs are extremely high up the pitch. They probably get up and down the pitch as much as Garnacho does anyway.
