Then I think you were wrong.
Dalot has had a good few seasons, not great, but good. Better than Wan Bissaka, who had some good spells but was clearly much less suited for Ten Hag’s preference for tucked in FB role when progressing play. It was pretty obvious AWB had to go, and Mazraoui has been a clear upgrade.
Unfortunately, Dalot has had an enormous drop in form this season, regardless of what roles he’s played. He must be exhausted or something, because he makes so many unpressured mistakes it’s not to believe he is the same guy whose all round consistency was his biggest pro last year.
Bad ‘luck’ for us with Shaw, Malacia, Martinez and Amad injuries, we’re seemingly gonna have to play him every game until summer break.
