To be fair to him, he is not a left winger. Florenzi is one of the most versatile players around, and while he started playing as a winger, he has played right/left back too.

Florenzi has been just as shite. Italy are dreadful, and Darmian wasn't even that bad against Belgium.
Didn't say he was bad, just said he was useless (did nothing of note for people to praise him).
Fair point
I thought that was Darmian's best game I've ever seen from him against Belgium...not enough cutting edge perhaps but he was full of energy and always providing a good option in both attack and defence.
Why all the hate for Darmian on this forum? Why do people want us to sell him? The fact that he's being linked to Barca, Juventus, etc should be a sign how well he is regarded.
It would be a stupid move to sell him after just one season where he showed flashes of good play and also was unfortunate to pick up injuries everytime he started to get a run of games in the team.

More about his agent knows that his position in this club is not that safe.
Everything can happen for him this season tbh.He might improve and do enough to convince Mourinho that he deserves to be first choice or he might even fall behind our younger options if he continues to disappoint.Let's just wait and see.
I agree, we should give him a second season atleast before deciding he's shit. Mourinho's known to bring the best out of his defensive players.
Also, we shouldn't forget how underwhelming Shaw was in his 1st season at the club too, esp. with all the niggling injuries that kept him out at the wrong times
don't worry, if he has a good game in the euros we'll want to give him another season to prove himself, like halfway through page 77.
not disagreeing with any of it, we should at least give him another season to prove his worth.
It's a little harsh but I think 90% of us expected him to miss that penalty. Very weak mentally.
Needs a shave.
Edit - hope JoMo can build him up after that
He looked to be absolutely shitting himself on the run up. Not exactly a surprise to see him miss.
Lets hope he recovers. Could have an effect on the guy, seems very sensitive and soft
poor lad...Extremely harsh. He is not a good pen taker and that is why he was 9th in line. Would you call Schweinsteiger mentally weak or Muller for that matter?
Apparently, Mkhitaryan is quite sensitive.
None of us know what his mentality is like. Are we engaging in armchair psychology again?
Just knew he'd miss.
Hopefully it doesn't affect him too much.

Feck sake, I'd sell him after that. Pathetic penalty, if your that nervous then just blast it down the middle
Yeah, it was poorly taken but it shouldn't have gotten to him. Both teams were awful in that shootout.
Yup, as soon as he stepped up I laughed, because it was completely obvious he was going to miss. He's pure garbage, I don't even know why Italy took him to the tournament, but most importantly in a shootout he's extremely weak mentally. You could tell he was shitting it the moment the camera cut to him. Reminded me of Anelka in the '08 Champions League final. They'd missed the penalty before they even put the ball on the spot.
Missing a penalty is now a sign of weakness?
I've bottled a fair few penalties in my time, so I can't believe the pressure in a EURO QF. Really feel for him.
I'd call Muller mentally weak, yes. He's a great player 99% of the time, but he bottles it with alarming regularity with the going gets properly tough and the pressure is ramped up. He missed a penalty and an amazing chance against Atletico too that would have sent Bayern through.
Some couldnt wait for this so they can throw some more abuse at him.
Ronaldo misses quite a lot of penalties as well and so does Messi. It's not a sign of being mentally weak at all.
It's a pretty daft criticism.
It's a pretty daft criticism.
Very harsh to judge him after that. I look forward to see what he can do under Mou this coming season.
Yup, the guy who's scored 10 goals in 2 world cups, being the top scorer at one of them is mentally weak...
He is weak mentally. We saw that this season already. Him taking a penalty was always going to end in disaster because of that. He couldn't even lift his head.
Darmian definitely lacks composure.
We did?
Yeah but Mkhitaryan is in form. Darmian had a shit season and missed now a decisive penalty
Mental weakness yes...
We can be critical of him but he hit the target - which certain other lads failed to do. I think they made a point that Neuer was always diving the one side seemingly so he was out guessed. I'm sure he'll be alright and come back stronger. Zaza and Pelle on the other hand will probably get hit harder.
Him missing a pen was the most obvious thing. Thought de sciglio was him at first and told my dad he'll miss until i saw it wasnt. Then when it was him I said it again.... Doesn't have the mentality for something like that. Which is fine, but I don't think he has the mentality to succeed at a big club like United either with the expectations.
Predictable, run of the mill, kneejerkism around here. If they liked him before they will defend him, if they didn't they will question him even being here.
I knew he would miss. Simple as that. More, i belive he also knew he would miss.
Missing a pen is a mental weakness. 
Hate for Darmian is strong here. So sad to see.

Not many mentally strong players playing football then
Harsh to scapegoat him. Zaza's and Pellè's penalties were worse IMO.
