Squad player at very best
He looked very calm and comfortable on the ball yesterday. I wasn´t that impressed with him the few minutes he played at the end of last season, but yesterday he actually looked like a player. One friendly match is not much to go by, but I thought he were one of the top performers yesterday, together with McTominay, VDB and Shaw.I'm personally very patient with youth players look at my namesake for christ's sake, but I'm willing to bet good money that Fosu-Mensah isn't good enough for Utd. He lacks the technical fundamentals and has always made up for it through pure physically. His positional play is average and he doesn't really have a set position. We are Man Utd we can't afford to continue giving game time to mediocre talents.
He was very good at CB but just ok at DM. Got stuck in a couple of times, held his position alright, but did nothing out of the ordinary.Did he play as DM later in the game? If so, how did he play?
Haven't watched the game yet.
He is versatile enough to play across the back line and did not look any different than Williams usually does today. His natural position is CB but I'm not sure if he can ever reach a level to play consistently in the PL, at full back he can get away with a bit more when he's out of position.Whenever I see this guy at fullback, I ask myself whether it's some sort of long running joke that I'm not aware of. Lad gives it his best, but he's quite clearly a centre back. Really odd that everyone just assumes he's a fullback.
Have you watched us at all over the last season? None of our back 6 are particularly good at this. Maguire and Lindelof are atrocious with the ball.I’d look to sell. Might be able to get £5 mill for him and I don’t think he’s ever going to have the quality to be a Man Utd player. He’s physically as great as always but technically leaves a lot to be desired. I’m also surprised people think he played well yesterday, he can’t pass forwards which is usually the requisite for a good performance in my book.
