He's got a good left foot, don't know why he doesn't trust it more. I guess it's getting into that crossing position in the first place he doesn't have full confidence in when on the left.

If anything it's the delivery with his right that's very hit and miss. Tends to smash everything without thinking on his strong side.

Unfortunately plenty of players want to use their favourite foot all the time. Bruno is a good example. So many times he tries to play the ball with the outside of the foot and he fails because of it. Its very frustrating to watch when they arent even trying to use the correct foot/technique and then they produce a poor effort.

 

[RedRocket9908]

He has been generally poor recently but I thought he was excellent yesterday and gave Liverpool loads of problrms over on that left side.

 

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

One game. Let's see if he's decent in the next 3 as well. He always had this odd very good game, but without consistency it means nothing

It starts with one game though. Its been blatantly obvious for close to 3 weeks he and Mazroui have been playing the role like they were in a back 4 as compared to Amad or even Antony. Vs Liverpool their positioning was higher, more aggressive and in attack they consistently attacked the space ahead of them. There is no doubt om my mind a week of traning aided in it.

The proof will be in the pudding in the next match though.

 

[AltiUn]

Really, really stupid to dive in when he's on a yellow. Was lucky he didn't cost us the game.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

He's thick. What else is new.

 

[sullydnl]

Lucky his teammates bailed him out.

 

[spiriticon]

Braindead motherfecker should be fined 10 weeks wages. God I am so pissed off with him.

Is the game too comfortable? Need to give the opposition fans a lift? Come forth Diogo Dalot.

 

[McFred]

He's thick. What else is new.

He really is - had 4-5 braindead moments even before the sending off

 

[criticalanalysis]

Idiotic. He finally gets his rest.

 

[Ekeke]

I think he was unlucky on the 2nd yellow. Yes of course he knew he was on a booking and cant take chances and he did take the chance. But I see opposition players make worse challenges all the time and not get booked,

 

[OverratedOpinion]

He didn't really touch anyone on the second one but he has to read the game better, the ref was absolutely gagging to do something and it was so needless.

 

[ManRed]

Bruno few games ago and now Dalot. Portugese players letting us down at key times.

Yes but it was a bad decision if you look at how the ref was refereeing....

 

[WhatIsLove]

Yes but it was a bad decision if you look at how the ref was refereeing....

Yeah he isn't a kid. If he knows what mood the ref is in then he shouldn't put in those kind of challenges.

 

[Ekeke]

Yes but it was a bad decision if you look at how the ref was refereeing....

Yes, its 100% on Dalot making the choice to go to ground and not knowing 100% he can get the ball. He allowed the harsh call to be made

 

[Van Piorsing]

Thought he could be that player benefiting the most with Amorim in charge... and so far he tries to get him fired, ffs.

 

[Cutch]

Moronic right Infront of a cheating bench with a ref absolutely desperate to book our players and make it all about him. Thankfully got off the hook

 

[Ludens the Red]

I genuinely don't know how many times a player can let his team down with idiotic and stupid decision making.

One of the very first names that Amorim needs to be replacing in this team due to his inability to use his brain.

Away from home against a team known for gamesmanship with a referee already handing out yellows like confetti and you do that. Complete and utter moron.

 

[dcrompton]

Ten heroic Lions. One Stupid boy

 

[acnumber9]

It was a stupid decision to make the tackle, though I don’t think that should be enough for a second yellow, but what can’t be lost is the horrendous first touch before he went sliding in.

Remember against Liverpool when he argued twice in the space of one minute to get two yellows.

 

[FrankDrebin]

Headache player.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

So glad we won but this guy is a fecking idiot.

 

[Raven]

That was a horrible decision to go to ground there. Finally gets a game off, hopefully he comes back stronger than he's shown this season.

 

[redshaw]

Stepped in the bear trap the ref had just put down.

Dalot is such a frustrating player, fast athletic but has some brain dead moments.

 

[izec]

He is just dumb to be honest. There is no way you can go into a tackle like that on a yellow with this ref. It is just stupid

 

[Daily_Blind]

Good points. My frustration with the way games are officiated now is it’s automatically assumed it’s a card if a player slides in. Looking at the replay the Arsenal player jumps over him and I don’t even think contact is made or if it is it’s very minimal. No contact being made should factor into any decision.

Also, premier league really needs to look at introducing a sin bin. The product on the pitch suffers when a team is down to 10 men for an hour b/c of a card where the opposing player wasn’t even touched.

 

[Fortitude]

I think I finally 'get' him. He plays on almost raw emotion and gets so engrossed in a game and its atmosphere/stakes that he's practically running on auto. I don't think there's even a moment's pause for: 'oh, I'm on a card, perhaps I shouldn't do that' in his head. You are always playing on a knife edge in that way, and until he can play and not become so emotionally invested, these "braindead" moments will keep on happening.

I don't know if you can teach someone how to not be like that; we generally say that the over invested/emotional eventually have something click in their own heads and before then, trying to make them think instead of just play takes a lot from their game.

We got away with it today, but he's cost the team a lot in terms of recovery and knock on effect, so it remains to be seen if we're going to fully come out of this unscathed. I hope a game like this will have had him look inside himself and ask 'what the feck is wrong with me!?' enough for him to want to do something about it, because the more this continues, the more certain it is he cannot be relied upon.

 

[arnoldS]

Even though the ref was horrible that red was absolutely deserved. As soon as he started sprinting towards the player i knew thats gonna be a send off.

He is braindead and i really hope we can replace him soon.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

Let himself down today.

I can’t remember the first yellow, but the challenge for the second was just brainless.

He should be giving his wages for the week to his defensive counterparts and big Altay.

 

[OmarUnited4ever]

Don't what's up with this guy, so good vs Liverpool and today was so shit.

 

[Squeaky_Bum_Time]

If this was any other fanbase, we’d be putting most of the blame where it belongs, on the referee. We’re very harsh on our players.

Neither was a yellow card.

 

[Castia]

We’re absolutely desperate for some quality in the left wing back slot it’s not his best position and 9/10 he would have cost us the game today

 

[Winrar]

His inconsistency is absolutely killing me, and why I hesitate to praise him after a good game. Even when he has good performances like against Liverpool, you just can't rely on him to make braindead decision(s) in the next game.

 

[Pexbo]

If this was any other fanbase, we’d be putting most of the blame where it belongs, on the referee. We’re very harsh on our players.

Neither was a yellow card.

The first easily was. The second, there was minimal contact and another referee has a word but given that he already knew what this referee was like, was on a yellow and he did it right in front of the Arsenal dugout, there was only ever going to be one result and it was brain dead to go to ground like.

 

[Red_Aaron]

He's always had a brain fart in him and probably always will but I do at least prefer this overly aggressive brain fart Dalot compared to the pottering about daydreaming brain fart Dalot

 

[nihal18_red forever]

Braindead player. Ideal level - Italian league.

 

[BorisManUtd]

Yeah he isn't a kid. If he knows what mood the ref is in then he shouldn't put in those kind of challenges.

Exactly. He's 25-26 with lot of experience and let himself do that. All that with no VAR so basically there's no comeback if referee decides to send you off. Really stupid decision making and it would've been a frustrating way to get knocked out of the competition if we lost.

With this red card, is he unavailable for Southampton or Leicester (next cup game)?

 

[Rossa]

Was the first yellow though? He goes in for a tackle, would have got the ball if not for the Arsenal player running into him from behind. I’m not even sure that should have been a free kick against Dalot - he was clearly first to the ball.

Te second is stupid as feck.
