Thought he was decent today and did a reasonable job on Kilesevski. Onana should be paying his fine for the yellow, my word he sold him out there.

Thought he looked decent and seems to have a great engine to get up and down the pitch which will help. Crossing wasn't great but an encouraging performance otherwise.
He did ok bar one shocking cross. Hopefully a lot more to come.
Looks a good player. The problem there is, most players start quite brightly here and then have a quick decline.
Looks to be athletic and enthusiastic, which is more than can be said for most of the cnuts. Let's see how long he can maintain that while swimming in a sea of shite.
Positive, rest of the team needs to pass to him more.
He will stop making those runs beyond Garnacho eventually, he must be wondering what the fecking point was after the 8th time and it not coming to him when in a much better situation, but not, has to watch Garnacho try and beat three lads agaain.
WellI think your last sentence explains the first two. At least in part.
You answered your own question
Finally the penny has dropped on the need for athleticism - looks a real athlete if nothing else. Thought he coped well against Kuleveski, who is Spurs best player, and made some nice sharp passes
Looked decent but getting a LWB in hasn’t improved us like as much as some would have had you believe on here.
Was ignored few times today by players and was in good postions.
1st half twice he bombed forward overlapped Garnacho but as usual Garnacho cutting in on his right and giving ball away. If Garnacho slipped him pass he would of been in behind spurs defence.
Once again our decision making in attacking 3rd is absolute muck by certain players.

Amount of good overlapping runs he made and was ignored by Garnacho was winding me up.
A young lad plays one game in the position (for which we barely had enough fit senior players to name an XI)... and that's your cue to dunk on people who said we needed to buy a LWB?
Absolutely cracking reach to give yourself a pat on the back. Fair play.
We created more chances, more space for Garnacho and he had more shots and created more. Balance definitely improved.
What? It absolutely did. This match was easily the most threatening we've looked going forward under Amorim in the PL and it was all because of the better balance from switching the wing backs and having them be a genuine overlapping threat. Dorgu was in legit dangerous space so many times during the match but was totally ignored by teammates. Especially the selfish Garnacho.
It's sooo difficult to judge a new player coming into the United team.
His first appearance was 45 mins to get himself used to English football. His second appearance was a completely different team with the manager having to fix problems all over the pitch due to injuries.
But for now all I want to see is him playing regularly and without pressure of fear.
Season is over, so just leave him to do his thing and try not to make any judgment until the end of the season.

Lots of energy, pace and physical strength, something this team badly lacks.
Made tonnes of overlapping runs for Garnacho but was almost constantly ignored because Garnacho wants to cut in with the ball every time. As someone said earlier, watch those runs dry up.

I like him, but we always like new players when they are clearly energetic and performing like the pre-united rot player they are.
The wing back role is obviously crucial to this system working, and it shows given how often his overlaps were ignored.
Granted I don’t think he’s got a particularly sweet left peg where we’re missing out on nailed on goals and assists, but Porro and Kulusevski couldn’t keep up with him at times.

The amount of time his overlap was ignored annoyed me.
He did well generally, seems to have a great engine on him and did well defensively.

While he wasnt bad despite being on the ball little, Spence was easily the best fullback/wingback on the pitch. Thats what speed and dribbling should look like from that position
But we still lost, so having one position sorted won’t solve the team being shite. That’s my point.
Steady on with the knee jerk, he hasn’t even played two games in this country yet. I don’t think anyone claimed he would be single handedly revolutionizing our play within his first 135 minutes with the club.
I would bloody hate playing as an overlapping wingback behind Garnacho. Obviously it’s good to mix it up and keep the defenders guessing, so not always going to use the overlapping player, but it got to a point where Porro just knew Garnacho would ignore Dorgu and go inside.
Not the player, the position, a LOT of people were saying we needed a LWB to be able to play any kind of decent football. We need a lot more than that.
Good first game at LWB. Thought I was seeing things when he almost broke the offside trap in the second half, we haven't had that kind of aggressive play in years. Can't help but wonder how long we take to knock the confidence out of him.
Yeah I think he kept arguably their most dangerous player pretty quiet. Seems very solid, good engine. I look forward to him gaining more confidence with the ball and hopefully getting used a bit more on the overlap.
Give it a couple of months, we'll break him
That Spence fella was awfully fast. It’s been a while since we had similar pace in our team. Dorgu looks fast enough though.
I have not seen a single person claim that all we needed was a LWB. Are you sure you haven’t made that up?
A lot of people were saying we desperately needed a LWB. Which was true. That doesn’t mean there aren’t other areas of the pitch that also need addressing.
Yes but I’m trying to be optimistic. We can’t physically and mentally break every player we have right?… right?
In the Garnacho thread a fair few were saying it, you must have missed the posts.
I don’t believe that anyone was saying the only position we need to address was LWB. I think you’ve just made that up so you can strawman an “I told you”.
I believe you didn’t see the posts and are saying I made it up to cover your ineptitude.
This isnt even a Garnacho, or new manager thing. Rashford was the same way with Shaw. Its been going on for many years
Somehow or some way Dalot always manages to get found when he's making attacking runs plenty of times but Shaw used to be ignored like Dorgu was
You’re the one getting repeatedly called out for BS. If you’re going to claim something the burden of proof is on you to back it up. Otherwise you can claim any old nonsense (although you seem to be fairly proficient at that).
I don’t care what you think buddy. I’m not going to trapse through pages of redcafe posts to keep you happy.
I was told on numerous occasions that getting a LWB will solve all our issues and allow us to play 343 properly. Let’s see if it’s a miracle worker.
Hope he can play as a natural full back because he's going to playing under a new manager by next season the way that it's going. If he can't it's going to be another 30 million wasted.
Thought he was okay today.
